June 4, 1955


Dear Diary,

Today was another day steeped in spiritual learning and playful joy. Father LeRoy's homily touched deeply on the Eternity of God, reminding us that although we are immortal, our existence will never mirror the absolute, independent, and perfect nature of God's eternity. Yet, we are blessed with the promise of participating in His glorious and incomprehensible life. It's a thought that fills my heart with gratitude and longing for that happy day.

This afternoon, Sister Mary Claire, Mini, and I had a delightful romp outside. Mini, ever the spirited companion, chased her ball with an enthusiasm that only she can muster. It's amusing how she looks to us as the magicians behind the ball’s lively dance across the grass.

As the day draws to a close, we gathered for our evening prayer:

Dear Lord,

As the sun sets and this day closes, we pause to reflect on Your eternal grace and the promise of our participation in Your divine life. Thank you for the lessons learned and the simple joys shared, especially our playful moments with Mini.

We ask for the peace of Your presence to rest upon us tonight. Guide us in our dreams and protect us until the light of morning graces our windows. May our spirits always be attuned to Your eternal love, and may our hearts be filled with anticipation for the heavenly glory that awaits us.

Bless our sleep with tranquility, and renew our souls for another day to love and serve You better.

Amen.

Reflecting on the beauty of God's eternal promise and the simple joys of our day, let us always be thankful for the divine joy and the earthly pleasures we experience each day.

With love and prayers, Kathy
