The Sixth Week of Ordinary Time

 

Welcome to the Sixth week of Ordinary Time.  

Please open your Hymnal to page 3 and join in our processional  “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” Verse 1

O LORD, please don’t burn us,   Don’t grill or toast your flock,

Don’t put us on the barbecue,  Or simmer us in stock,

Don’t braise or bake or boil us,  Or stir fry us in a wok. 

Thank you for that spiritual rendition it warmed my heart as I glided on the ice this preHoliday weekend up to the pulpit.  Now please open The Holy Text volume 1 to episode 7 page 83 where the prophets say: 

Accountant	Lady Chairman, sir, shareholders, ladies and gentlemen. I have great pleasure in announcing that owing to a cutback on surplus expenditure of twelve million Canadian dollars, plus a refund of seven and a half million Deutschmarks from the Swiss branch, and in addition adding the debenture preference stock of the three and three quarter million to the directors' reserve currency account of seven and a half million, plus an upward expenditure margin of eleven and a half thousand lira, due to a rise in capital investment of ten million pounds, this firm last year made a complete profit of a shilling.
Chairman	A shilling Wilkins?
Accountant	Er, roughly, yes sir.
Chairman	Wilkins, I am the Chairman of a multi-million pound corporation and you are a very new chartered Accountant. Isn't it possible there may have been some mistake?
Accountant	Well that's very kind of you sir, but I don't think I'm ready to be Chairman yet.

Please open your hymnal to page 40 and join us in singing “Accountant-cy Shanty”  Verse 1

Up, up, up your premium,  Up, up, up your premium (Scribble away!)
Up, up, up your premium (And balance the books),  Up, up, up your premium (Scribble away!)
Up, up, up your premium (But balance the books),  Up, up, up

It's fun to charter an accountant,  And sail the wide accountancy,
To find, explore the funds offshore,  And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy!

Now please open The Holy Text volume 2 to episode 30 page 99 where the prophets say …

Boss	Come in, Mr Horton.
	The city gent enters.
City Gent	Morning, sir.
Boss	Do - do sit down. (he indicates chair, trying not to look at the city gent)
City Gent	Thank you, sir.
	The boss starts to snigger but suppresses it with feat of self-control.
Boss	Now then Horton, you've been with us for twenty years, and your work in the accounts department has been immaculate (the city gent starts to speak; the boss suppresses another burst of laughter) No no - please don't say anything. As I say, your work has been beyond reproach, but unfortunately the effect you have on your colleagues has undermined the competence (almost starts laughing) ... has undermined the competence of this firm to such a point that I'm afraid that I've got no option but to sack you.
City Gent	(in a broken voice) I'm sorry to hear that, sir. (the boss giggles, gets up hastily and turning his back on city gent leans against the mantelpiece; his desire to laugh mounts through the next speech) It couldn't have come at a worse time. There's school fees for the two boys coming up, and the wife's treatment costing more now ... I don't know where the money's coming from as it is. And now I don't see any future ... I'd been hoping I'd be able to hang on here just for the last couple of years but... now ... I just want to go out and end it all.
	The boss cannot control himself any longer. He collapses in helpless mirth, falling all over the room. Immediately we cut to stock film of terrific audience laughter.
	Cut to backdrop of a circus ring. In front of it, as if in the ring, stand the RSM and Mr Man. Mr Man is as before. The RSM is dressed the same except that over his uniform he wears baggy trousers and braces and a funny nose. He is responding to the audience applause. Mr Man has obviously just been drenched with hot water - he is soaked and steam is rising.

Homily Parishioners, evidence of the horrid effects of the globalists “open borders” idea are truly apparent when you look ay Europe.  Recently it was admitted that nearly 1 in 3 children in Glasgow don’t speak English … AT ALL (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/01/nearly-third-children-glasgow-dont-speak-english/)!  Apparently, as goes Oslo, so goes Glasgow. 

In the remains of Angela Merkel’s former Germany, a recent poll by Welt shows that 81% of Germans feel that illegal immigration is simply too high ( https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/plus693f4e04f679420e000b4eba/migration-deutsche-halten-zuwanderung-insgesamt-fuer-zu-hoch-auch-legale-einwanderung.html).   The same pol states that 75% of Germans say that Illegal immigration is bad for Germany.  While 57% of Germany thinks that there has also been too much LEGAL IMMIGRATION!  Angela Merkel’s dream of replacing the Germans seems truly have failed.   

However, none of the “prols” sentiments matter to the Globalist elite of Europe.  Recentlly Ursula von der Leyen went so far against her own citizenry as to actually call for even “MOAR” immigration (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/speech_25_3001).  Apparently “too much” is only the starting point for the rulers of Europa.  

Meanwhile, here in the United States we are a little further behind the migrant curve.  The current administration is trying to roll back some of the tide of detritus and debris that has been poured into our country.  But the other side of the aisle continues to try and flood the nation with their would be “future voting blocks”.  For the last six months the Democans have been lying to the people of America with their Media parrots regurgitating the lies endlessly that “Trump is trying to take away health care subsidies from Americans”.  But recently the “libsoftiktok” caught and exposed the lies for the utter balderdash they are (https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1994082971683320107?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1994082971683320107%7Ctwgr%5Ee2ddf7b5cd2274a2c334cb6aea48c3a2de25bff4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fpolitical%2Foregon-democrats-sue-after-trump-cuts-snap-benefits-alien-migrants).  So non citizens HAVE been receiving health benefits and that is what the recent government shut down was all about, the Democans wanted to keep the largesse flowing to the illegals.  Fortunately, Trump and the Repudicrats stood up for the country and did not cave to the human traffickers that are the Democan Party. 

Amen

Please join us in our recessional on page 3 of your hymnal “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” second verse. 

Oh Please don’t lightly

poach us,  Or Baste us with hot fat,

Don’t fricassee or roast us,    Or boil us in a vat,

And please don’t stick thy servants, Lord,  In a Rotissomat.
