Holy Hour
My Holy Hours are getting later and later. Now, they seem to be at about 9-10 pm. There is something amazing about being in church at night though, it is so quiet and peaceful. With all that has gone on in my family lately, I really need that time to just be with God. Sometimes, when I go earlier, Father will come over and talk. He is really smart and orthodox and I love talking to him. He has helped me through this whole ordeal with Rick in so many ways. He was the one who heard Rick's Confession and brought him back to the Church. He has this amazing gift of seeing things from a perspective that I had not considered, no matter what the problem so that I always come away trying to figure out why I hadn't thought of something so simple myself.
I am going out to my parents this afternoon. This is so hard on them, I cannot imagine how hard it is to lose a child, no matter what their age.

How wonderful that you have a great priest to guide you, in small matters or big.
I'm still praying for you. I'm sorry you're hurting. Truly.
Hi, Cath.
Just checking in here to see how things are going with you.
Happy New Year!
You are such a neat person. Thanks. I have been sick with an infection, so I have not been able to blog much. Am getting better though and kids will start back to school soon, so may blog in the near future. I still read your blog all the time, its one of the few I always go to.
I hope you feel better soon.
I remember that you told me where in Kansas you live, but I cannot remember. My husband and I both grew up in Pratt. Do you know where that is? I know we've had this conversation before. Honestly, if my memory is this bad now, how is it going to be in another 35 years???
Feel better!
You know, Cath, after I commented about where in Kansas you live, I remembered why I'd forgotten. It is a little town that I'd never heard of. Is it not by Salina? Or Topeka? Hey, maybe my memory isn't so bad after all.
Have a great week.
