O sinner,
be not discouraged,
but have recourse
to Mary
in all your necessities.
Call her to your assistance,
for such is the divine Will
that she should help
in every kind of necessity.

I suppose you noticed that I sneaked out from actually sending a card on New Year's Day? I hadn't planned it that way... but as the day wore on and I wore out.. it seemed like a good idea. Besides I had sent a New Year's Greeting for the Eve of New Year.. so I felt I was sort of covered. I can find all sorts of good excuses when I put my mind to it.
Today has been a nice day except that we had to say good-bye to a good friend of our community, Debbie, who had come to stay with for a few days over the Christmas holidays. We tried to be good to her (since she was so good to us) but we ended up sending her home with a cold! What a thing to do for your guest! Of course maybe she got it on the plane or in transit.. hard to know... most of us were over the bug.. but who knows.. them little viruses sneak back and around and are very wily characters!
This evening Sr. Jane seems to have come down with it... is this how the New Year is supposed to begin? Can we rewrite the script?
Guess how I celebrated the first new day of the new year? I cleaned a bit in my room and then just sat on my little rocking chair and enjoyed it! I think I'm starting to get the cleaning bug fever. Maybe there are signs of spring in the air already? Maybe after the hustle and bustle of Christmas days its nice to see something simple and back to normal. O
Of course we are still in full Christmas mode in prayer and liturgy - and I'm still praying the Joyful Mysteries every day so for the most part I'm still in Christmas mode.. but still it was nice to just sit in my quiet room and do nothing at all.. but just sit.
Happy Second Day of the New Year!
Blessings of Peace and Joy,
Sister Patricia and all the Sisters
