Dear Diary,
Robert picked us up early this morning. The weather was mild—no scarves needed—and Mini waited patiently at the truck until Robert opened the door. She jumped in like she knew exactly where we were headed.
Mass was peaceful. Mini curled up under our pew and rested her head on my foot, which made kneeling a bit tricky. I tried not to move her, so I knelt sort of sideways and did my best to pray properly.
Afterward, we stayed in the pew to read Today’s Meditation. It followed right along with Father’s homily since he uses the same book. The part that stayed with me was when Jesus met the women after the Resurrection and said, “All Hail.”They held onto His feet and adored Him, and He told them, “Fear not.” The meditation said He gives grace that fits our weakness. I like that. It makes me feel like He knows just how to help me, even when I feel small.
Father invited us to the rectory afterward—completely last minute. He scurried around the kitchen fixing oatmeal, while we helped set the table. He even poured some into a little dish for Mini, who ate it faster than anyone.
Evening Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for knowing my heart and telling me not to be afraid. Let me always stay close to You. Amen.
Love,
Kathy
