Thursday, February 3rd, is the Feast of St. Blaise. On his feast the Church recalls a miracle cure associated with him and celebrates the blessing of throats. While we invoke St. Blaise for his protection against any physical ailment of the throat, we should also ask his protection against any spiritual ailment — profanity, unkind remarks, detraction or gossip. I will offer blessings of throats at our 9:30 AM daily Mass on February 3rd and at our weekend Masses on February 5th & 6th.
