My name is Carl Strehlow and I am (the) "Catholic Mouse". I think people need to know what I look like. So, here are a couple photos of me, taken after Latin Mass. The one with the white hat was on New Years Day 2025; the other, Christmas Day 2024.

Hi everyone. It is a Monday morning here in Adelaide. I have been depressed, anxious and moody over various things. After Latin Mass yesterday I sent a sad text to several friends from my parish, including one of the priest. I won't go into the details, but it concerned everyone. I didn't return three calls that didn't help. The only part I will say is if I ever ended my life, it will be no ones fault, not even certain people who have hurt me (and I hurt in return) in the long past but can't get over. These are terrible things to go through. Most of the burden I allow to put on myself. Please pray that I will get to Mass this morning and be able to make a good Confession. God bless.

This type of teaching is needed in all schools.

Spielberg has been mocking our faith for decades. His latest round of it shouldn’t be surprising.

I am seeing on here that @elonmusk has just become the world's first trillionaire. Good luck to him. He could do a lot of personal good with all that money if he wants to. I just hope he one day finds God and becomes Catholic.

Why would a Catholic or anyone who believes in God, be worried about some stupid science fiction movie by Spielberg?

It is the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus this nice Friday evening at Catholic Church of the Holy Name in Adelaide. I went early to see a friend, Rachel becoming a Catholic. She made her first Confession. Then Rachel and her husband had the Sacrament of Marriage. She has two daughters, her eldest had First Communion on Sunday. So she received the Eucharist before her mother did. Pray for Rachel and her family. I don't think her husband is Catholic yet.

I love praying Rosaries every day. Everyone can be like those old women who pray. God bless. My prayer warrior Catholic mascot 'Amelia'. The character looks better than me, a man who is in his fifties with greying hair. One reason I like wearing a fedora hat. Squeak! Squeak!

I challenge everyone to surrender any torments and pain to Christ and find healing and rest in Him. Try to smile and have a day of joy and peace knowing that He has got you - Jesus is holding you every moment. It’s gonna be ok. Just breathe and know your prayers are heard and seen - I’m aching with you and begging God to give you so much peace and joy 🙏🏼

In have been really feeling out of sorts.

Say what you will about Twitter/X, this app has pushed me to pray for and care for so many people and intentions. This is a prayer app for sure 🙏🏼 I used to be someone who didn’t care so much for others and I just wanted to have a selfish happy life with comfort and pleasure. I’ve learned to put myself last and instead be devoted to others. I get overwhelmed and exhausted but how could I ever say no to praying for someone?! The prayer intentions are pushing me so so hard. Loving Jesus means giving up everything for Him and others. May God bring full healing to all who see this. Cling to Christ every moment! I’m praying so hard for “every intention on Twitter”. I promise your intentions are covered - I pray for all those I don’t see as well. Lord Jesus bring healing and peace! Restore our joy in Thee ❤️

Many people caught up with the troubles with governments and with all that is going on in the world. Catholics get upset with their bishops and priests and the current problems in the Church. There is the temptation either to despair or be consumed by anger. Both temptations are dangerous. Despair forgets that Christ remains Lord of His Church. Anger forgets that the battle is ultimately spiritual.

It is a lovely Sunday here in Adelaide. At my Latin Mass parish, there will be nineteen children who will receive Holy Communion for the first time today. Keep them and their families in your prayers.

I have just been to Latin Mass for First Saturday. Confession and receiving the Eucharist are the best gifts from the Catholic Church.

I am refraining more and more to avoid arguments... I mean discussions more and more on here. It never gets anywhere. Let the experts do that.

I will be reading the Fr. Brown stories by G.K Chesterton for the first time. I have had this book on my shelf for years.

Most people know that Cardinal McElroy of Washington has removed Monsignor Stephen Rossetti who was the Archdiocese's official exorcist following public statements linking UFOs and alien phenomena to demonic deception. I am one of those who say that aliens do not exist, so this is disappointing. I am not against having a few public exorcist priest, or any priest and bishop. But I do mean few. Most should remain totally anonymous.

The Corpus Christi Latin Mass at the Catholic Church of the Holy Name in Adelaide, Australia was beautiful this evening. Unfortunately, it was cold and damp, so we were unable to have the candlelit procession in the gardens. Happy Feast Day. God bless you all.

It is June 4th, and it is the Feast of Corpus Christi. It will be a cold, chilly night at the Catholic Church of the Holy Name in Adelaide for the Latin Mass. Corpus Christi is my second favourite feast after Candlemas.

I should tell a few more stories here. My life is more or less an open book. Squeak! Squeak!

Here in Adelaide, it is a cold, wet Wednesday morning. I decided to head down to my parish for Latin Mass. I really need it today. I have been feeling a little down, lonely and overwhelmed lately.
