The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and the conclusion of the Christmas Season.
Welcome EWTN/TBN/Fox+ viewers! Many Networks/Stations/One Mission:
Touching Lives/Saving Souls! Thank you so much for your generous support! Donation
Sunday Jan. 11th: On Sunday we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. I remember you as I preside at the 9:30 am Mass here in chilly Houston. Will get down to the lowers 40’s in the morning. Good for the Houston marathon race. A blessed Sunday to you and today marks the official close of the Christmas season. The beginning of Ordinary time year A starts on Monday.
I’m working on the third revision of my book Thorns have Roses. I am adding much material.
If you ordered a Thorns book, we ran out of the first edition. The second edition arrives from the printer on Monday and we will send them right out from here via mail. I apologize for any delay. I did try to email those who gave me their email when buying: the eBook of Thorns have Roses. You will love the read when it arrives.
I’m working on the third revision of my new book. The second revision books are due here Monday and we will mail them out right away. Many have ordered Thorns have Roses and are waiting, I know. Cool 57 degree breezy start to our Saturday. Nice chilly front finally blew in last night. 20+ degree drop.
I will be flying to Birmingham AL. and meeting with execs at EWTN on Tuesday through Friday. I have a Bookmark interview with Doug Keck on Wednesday about Thorns have Roses. Then on Thursday I will be a guest on “Women of Grace” and we will film two segments for air in early February. I welcome this opportunity to share the Gospel on the Catholic Network EWTN. (My programs air each Sunday at 9:30 am ET.)

Thank you to those of you who have donated: We will send out tax receipt forms in the next few weeks, for those who gave $250 and above in 2025 per IRS requirements. If you donated less and would like a form, email steve@frcedric.org Thank you to all of my supporters! Together we are touching lives and saving souls.
I took this picture Tuesday the 6th after Mass. I will place it on the cover of my new book Thorns have Roses, third revision:
