        Pray for the souls of priests.

        First, remember that you can gain indulgences on All Souls and the days following.

        Secondly, November 5th is a first Thursday. You can gain a plenary indulgence during this year for Priests.

        How milquetoastish can you be? Oh, to see some episcopal SPINE from time to time. Are these men shepherds protecting their flocks...or PR flacks trying to put the right (as in, 'pastorally sensitive') spin on things.

        OLD VERSION

        The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

        The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..

        Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
