Dear Diary,
What a special day it is—my birthday! And I couldn't think of a better way to start it than arriving safely at the London airport. Mini was such a good girl, curled up in her seat, sleeping through almost the whole flight, like a little angel. Sister Mary Claire and I are now waiting for a smaller plane to take us to Zurich, and the adventure feels even more real.
As we wait, Sister Mary Claire pulled out her Daily Missal. Today's Gospel reading touched my heart—Jesus speaking of the innocence of children and how we must become like them to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. It made me smile because that’s exactly how I feel today, filled with wonder and excitement like a child on her birthday.
Sister even told me a story, much like Father Leroy’s homilies at home. She said, "Kathy, remember the time when you asked about who is the greatest in God’s eyes? It’s those who are humble and loving, just like little children, trusting without fear. That’s why Jesus calls us to be like them." Her words made me feel as if we were right back at St. Mary's, hearing Father’s voice echo through the small, beloved church.
I did ask Sister Mary Claire about Omelette and Shaggy Coat, and she smiled, assuring me that Tom and Judy are taking excellent care of the farm. "Don't worry, Kathy. They’ll be just fine, and everything will be as you left it."
With that comfort in my heart, I said a little birthday prayer:
O angels of grace, Guide me today, With humility and love, Show me the way.
Bless Mini, Sister, and all who care, As we continue this journey with gentle prayer.
Now, I’m ready to take the next flight and see what wonders await in Zurich.
With love and excitement,
Kathy
