Before I left on my archaeology dig, I purchased The Rule of Benedict to read while I was out in the middle of no where.

My envelope contained the Crusade for Priests summer letter and a new name of someone for me to pray [...]
I do realize the slight gap between the last post and now. I intended to write yesterday, but I received a very bad migraine, to the point that at times I considered that perhaps I should go to the hospital. I didn’t go, but it took about 14 hours for me to feel normal [...]
Does anyone have any good prayers of thanksgiving that they like to say? I’m planning on heading over to the treasury of Catholic prayers to see what they have. I’m doing the standard “making it up as I go” prayer, but I wouldn’t mind taking a look at formal prayers.
Oh, and I did [...]
