New Batch of Radical Shifts Ordered!

Good morning! Yesterday we ordered another batch of Radical Shifts, my memoir! We sold out of the first run. Contact us at info@petemason.net if you would like one: $20 plus $5 shipping in North America. Shipping is extra out of North America. I am working on a new book. I have actually finished it but will edit it with Cyndie's help. We are also building a course based on the book, kind of a handbook that prayer groups and churches or individuals can use. We are happy to see new people interested in joining the Missionaries of Merciful Love. Some are just starting the 40 day course while others are taking the year of novitiate. I recently bought a book called Day by Day with Saint Francis. He is one of the patron saints of the MML. You can get the book here: https://www.catholiccompany.com/day-by-day-with-st-francis-i119487/ Have a great day. Pete

Cardinal Thomas Collins Visits Me in a Dream

Good morning! Last night I had a dream that Cardinal Thomas Collins from the Archdiocese of Toronto visited me in a large hall with other church representatives and media people. I was happy to see him. My old seminary rector, Fr. Patrick Feurth was there and I was telling him that Cardinal Collins was like St. John Bosco in the seminary, often joking around with us. Yesterday I mailed Cardinal Collins a copy of my memoir, Radical Shifts. This is what likely triggered the dream. I will share this dream with my spiritual director. A couple of days ago I dreamt that Pope John Paul II visited me in my room and a few days before that St. Bernadette of Lourdes visited us wearing a Myztery t shirt. Finally, before that, St. Padre Pio saw me in line for confession and motioned for me to come to him. We are sending a newly edited version of my memoir to be printed in Ontario. Have a good day!

Ecclesiam Renovare Talks

Good morning! I have decided to change my upcoming video talks to "Ecclesiam Renovare" or Renew the Church. We have decided to postpone recording and releasing our album Love is the Answer and instead work on our next concept album.

I am also in the process of typing my spiritual journals starting in 1982 and going to the present. I will print 3 copies: one for my spiritual director, one for Cyndie and one for myself. I am learning a lot by re-reading my journal entries.

Have a great day!

Getting Ready for Chair of Peter Talks

Hello! Happy Feast of Our Lady of Fatima! Here is a great movie on her apparitions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HzfwPgvVTg  We are preparing our studio for my Chair of Peter talks that I plan to do every day in the morning, probably at 9:30 am. We are hanging up a red curtain that will be behind me.

I will be sitting on an antique chair that our family has owned for many years. We had it re-upholstered red and it looks great. I am still in the process of typing my spiritual diary from 1984 and after. It is really an interesting thing to read my journal entries from so many years ago.

I am also still in the process of writing my next book which I plan to finish within the next month.

Have a great day!

Pause on Recording to Complete Book

St. Francis of Assisi

We have decided to put a pause on recording our next album so I can finish my next book. I hope to finish the book within 30 days, and then I will create a course on Udemy based on the book. We will  make a paperback book, ebook and audio book as well. I already have the cover photo for the book. Our graphic designer, Lisa from Abstract Marketing in Chatham, Ontario, will create the cover. She is away until about November on maternity leave. 

The next step in our recording for the album is to lay day tempo tracks on the rest of Cyndie's songs. We will use our  BOSS drum machine to set a tempo, along with our metronome, and Cyndie will play keyboards and sing. I found a place that can convert my 7 solo albums on DAT Digital Audio Tape to .wav files, so we can upload them to our website. 

We had a great time on Mother's Day with Cyndie's mom (dinner) and  my mom (tea and chocolates). My mom is 95 is Cyndie's mom is in her 80's. Both live in their own home. My mom has a live-in caregiver. Cyndie's mom lives on her own and we visit every week with groceries. 

Have a great day!

Recording Drum Tracks

Good afternoon! Yesterday we returned a USB cable that did not work in our studio and get back about $17 for it. Today we will record drum tracks to set the tempo for a few of Cyndie's songs on our new album. I have already recorded drum tracks on my songs. Today is the feast day of Bishop Francois de Laval, the patron saint of Canadian Bishops.

On June 1st we plan to rent a Roland digital drum set to record the drums for our album, replacing the tempo drum tracks that are on there. I may buy a DAT (Digital Audio Tape) machine to transfer my songs to a .wav file. These are my solo album, 7 in total, I think. And then we will make them available for people to listen to. Even Cyndie has not heard many of my Christian songs that I recorded before we met.

Have a good day!

Happy Birthday to Cyndie

Happy birthday to my beloved Cyndie! She is such a blessing in my life! We have been together 15 years! We first met in Derek Mason's recording studio in Vancouver. He set us up! She joined our band Myztery right after we met, singing and playing keyboards. Today is also the feast day of St.Catherine of Sienna, my patron saint in the Missionaries of Merciful Love.

We plan to record more music in our studio this evening and maybe watch a movie on the life of St. Catherine of Sienna. I am also writing a new book that I hope to finish in a month. I also plan to make a course based on it that will have text, audio and video.  I plan to make an audio book and an ebook as well. Lot's of plans!

We are re-uploading our Myztery albums to TuneCore and they will be in all kinds of digital stores and platforms, including Spotify and Apple music etc. I  hope we are listed as an artist, i.e, as Myztery, and not fall into a solo artist's albums who is also called Myztery.

Have a great day!
