And so it begins.
Lord, thank you for this day.


The realization that I have forgotten a couple things just rolled over me. I shall have to remedy this with swift errands and/or orders. It isn’t mission critical but it’s pesky and should be easily remedied.
Lord, thank you for this day. Thank you for my readers and benefactors.
Sts Cosmas and Damian – my confirmation name saints – intercede in their favor with God for their true needs.
UPDATE
Can I just add that I thoroughly appreciate getting a text when my bag is loaded on the plane.























…. and “may God hold you in the palm of His hand”
That must be new, text that your baggage made it on board. Thank God for small miracles.
In my previous life I travelled worldwide on a regular basis. In order to stop forgetting things, I made a checklist in my computer of items to pack and how to prepare my house for an extended absence. In the future, I just pulled them up and printed them out prior to each trip. It was a big help to me and my memory!
Safe travels, Fr. Z!
