It was 31 degrees this morning, cold but clear, and the sky looked like it might turn sunny. Sister Mary Claire and I walked down to the mailbox with Mini trotting along. Robert pulled up right on time, got out, scooped Mini into his arms, and set her on Sister’s lap. “Good morning, ladies!” he said, and off we went to early Mass.
Father LeRoy read from Luke 20:27–40, where Jesus tells the Sadducees that in the resurrection we will be like the angels—children of God who can never die again. Sister said that Heaven is where everything is made whole and full of God’s love. I liked that very much.
This afternoon Mini and I walked to the cave with a carrot for Shaggycoat. He came out of his lodge when he heard us and took the carrot gently before slipping back inside. Mini wagged her whole bottom at him. Inside the cave I lit a tiny fire and read another bit from The Glories of Mary. It felt quiet and safe as always.
We made it home just before supper, and Sister said she could tell we’d had a good cave visit.
Evening Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank You for Mass today,
for Sister Mary Claire and Robert,
and for the peaceful time in the cave with Mini.
Keep us close to Your Heart tonight
and bless everyone we love.
Amen.
