Sunday Quiet

Click on Little Swiss Radio to Listen Now.

Tonight, after supper, Sister Mary Claire and I knelt down beside our beds for our evening prayers. The room was dim and peaceful, and the picture of the Sacred Heart above the bedside table seemed to glow a little in the soft lamplight. I folded my hands and whispered my prayers, and Sister knelt right beside me, her veil falling over her shoulder just so. It always comforts me, kneeling next to her like that.

When we finished, I reached over and turned on my Little Swiss Radio. It made its little crackle—like it has a tiny heartbeat of its own—and then Bishop Barron’s Sunday homily came through, warm and clear. I stayed kneeling on the floor to listen, and Sister sat with her hands folded in her lap, paying such close attention that it made me sit up straighter.

Bishop Barron talked about trusting Jesus in the middle of the storms of life, even when things feel uncertain. His voice always fills up the whole room, like he’s talking right to us here at Camp Littlemore. I held my rosary while he spoke, letting the words sink into my heart just like prayer.

It felt extra special tonight—praying first, and then listening to the homily with Sister beside me, the Sacred Heart watching over us, and my little radio humming gently between the beds. Sometimes I think Sunday evenings must be God’s favorite time, because they always feel extra peaceful.

Love,
