Another cool start to today. Sister Mary Claire and I walked to church early in the morning. The fields were alive with activity; the farmers were already hard at work. Neighbor Arlo, always so cheerful, gave us a big wave and a broad smile as we passed by. It's heartwarming to see the community so vibrant and full of life.
The church was a gathering spot not just for prayer today but also for lively discussions amongst the farmers. After Mass, they mingled outside, sharing thoughts on the best seed corn to plant. I heard them mention DeKalb quite a bit—apparently, it's very popular around here. I might not know much about farming, but it's interesting to learn bits and pieces.
Father LeRoy delivered a wonderful homily today. The light filtering through the stained glass windows cast colorful patterns on the congregation, almost as if highlighting his words with divine approval. It made the message feel even more special.
Afterwards, Sister Mary Claire and I spent some quiet time in the prayer wagon. We read from the Inner Court prayer book, reflecting on the passages and finding solace in the tranquility of our secluded spot.
A Little Prayer to End the Day:
Dear Lord, as the sun sets and another day comes to a close, I thank You for the blessings of family and community. For the joy of togetherness and the peace of Your presence in our lives. Please watch over us through the night and guide us into another day filled with Your grace. Amen.
All for now, Kathy
