See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. James 5:7
I meant to write this entry earlier but it was such a busy day that I spent more time at the Cathedral than I had originally planned. I participated in one Mass, photographed another Mass, photographed another celebration, photographed a Christmas present wrapping party, participated in another Mass, had pizza and photographed more gift wrapping, then photographed the choir evening concert, and then photographed happy parishioners singing Christmas carols and drinking wassail. It was a delicious day, filled with prayer, filled with thoughts about the Lord.
It was a day of standing on the marble. It was a day of giving thanks.
The day was dedicated to God. There was something nurturing and playful; there was something healthy and alive, energizing my spirituality, evangelizing my spirituality. There was so much to observe, to experience, to remember.
There were children. There was a procession. There was a recreation.
A miracle was replayed and presented in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
There is something beautiful, something immense in being a part of this parish. Each day can be an expedition leading to goodness, kindness, holiness; leading to God.
Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another? Matthew 11:3
