EXCITING NEWS FROM FATHER RON!!!
Fallen Angels Fly
Tear in the Desert is being blessed and a living
book. The story is truly the story of how millions of people's lives are
changing for ever...and with great joy, healing and hope. On November 11th,
Veteran's Day, a TEAR IN THE DESERT (TV
Special) will be broadcast on EWTN and CATHOLIC TV Boston. This was
produced and directed by Christian Peschken (www.christianpeschken.com) and the
music was created and performed by Keith Moore. "Fallen Angels Fly" and "Prizes
for Peace" were written and performed for the book by Keith in his garage
studio.
When Our Blessed Mother gave birth to Jesus in basically a barn
with animals, it turned out to be an incredible blessing. Poor Mother Mary was
asked to do the toughest job ever given in birthing and raising the Son of God. And she was given very little. As Susi
Pittman launches her humble book, Animals in Heaven? Catholics Want to Know! this month, I sense she feels in her mission as I do in mine that
we both are in a humble barn of new beginnings. And yet, I believe that God
sent us a number of angels to watch over us and protect us. This is all God's
work. We are just the pencils in God's hand. Hallelujah!
Another gift in the manger has entered my life. I introduce to you
W. Keith Moore, a gifted musician and passionate songwriter centered on the
Eucharist. God has brought this man into my life in a way that only God can and
today we are united for a very special moment in time to serve the Beloved.
Keith sent me this e-mail last week. God has brought us together
to get the word out. God is Love! We are God's Beloved!
I encourage all of you to visit Keith's web site, www.wkeithmoore.com and get to
know Keith and his inspired, mystical music! He writes from his soul and in
truth. His music is incredible! I listened to his albums SOUL and BELOVED and
wept. Most of his songs seem to have been written and married to the book, Tear
in the Desert even before he read the book or knew of it.
Be blessed and have wonderful times filled with gratitude for
God's gift of creation!
Love, joy, peace,
Father Ron +

Lord willing, if all goes well, over the next year
a film will begin production called Tear in the Desert.
After my appearance on "The Journey Home" i received
hundreds of emails from around the world.
In fact, even after 3 months i still
feel the
ripples in the pond. But one email was from a man named
Christian Peshkin. Christian is film producer. He had
purchased the rights to a book written by Navy Chaplin Fr.
Ron Moses Camarda called Tear in the Desert. Fr.
Ron Moses Camarda had spent 9 months in Fallujah in 2004.
This was the most brutal 9 months of the war. Fr. Camarda
had also seen my hour on "The Journey Home". He
sent me the book and the inspiration began. They had been
to my site, listened to my music, and felt confident i was
meant to do the music for the film! WOW! i am humbled and
excited. i have written 10 songs for the project. The plan
at the moment is for the next W. Keith Moore album/CD to be
called "Tear in the Desert". It will be released
before the film is finished. Hopefully, the CD will be out
by April or May. One is never sure how the Lord in His
mercy guides these ships. The soundtrack for the film will
include these songs from the album, plus instrumental
pieces not on the pre-released CD.

A THANKSGIVING MEAL FOR THE WILDLIFE
Thanksgiving around our house, like many homes, is a swath
of delicious foods cooking in the oven, the Macy's Day Parade blaring from the
television, voices of family trailing off into different rooms and the table
being set with the best china and linen.
The air holds a crispness, enough to warrant a fire in the
fireplace and the wind blows the remaining leaves from the boney trees with the
sound of soft rustlings. What a wonderful time of year to gather together and
give thanks for the blessings of faith, home and family!
A tradition we have always observed on Thanksgiving Day at
our house, is creating a Thanksgiving Meal for the various wildlife neighbors
that frequent our property. My daughter and I create Apple Bird Suets for our
bird friends. This year we are sharing the tradition with the grandsons.
3 Cups of Lard or shortening
1 Cup dried and crumbled whole wheat bread
½ Cup of shelled sunflower seeds
¼ Cup of millet
½ Cup of chopped dried apples
Melt the lard in a saucepan - Mix all other ingredients in a
bowl - Allow the lard to cool so it's a little thick - Stir into bowl of other
ingredients mixing all together - Form mix into thin cakes to place in your
suet feeder.
For the raccoons, possums and squirrels, we put out whole
peanuts and cracked corn with some fruit and seasonal veggies.
We feed our wild neighbors throughout the year, but
Thanksgiving is always a special selection of goodies, and the animals seem to
know it. I swear our wild neighbors must call their families and invite them
over for dinner, because on that day alone, we see more animals than we see
regularly through the rest of the year!
I would like to encourage you to make it a tradition to
remember your extended "family" and set something special out for the wild
animal neighbors in your life!
Peace, ~Susi
