Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I was very happy to see actual evidence of the true meaning of Christmas this year. The Holy Family and the birth of Jesus. In front of people's houses. We were in Milton, Ontario. What a surprise and blessing it was. I don't think I've ever seen this in Ottawa (except for churches), or in any other place. Amazing.

Attending Mass and Receiving Holy Communion

Maureen and I went to Mass today at St. Patrick's Basilica in Ottawa. It was my first time since March 15. It was stinking hot and we wore our masks in the car like good CCP Virus protected citizens.

Our sister Barb attended Mass at St. Monica's, and our friend Madeleine attended Mass at St. Mary's.

What a blessing, thank you God. We are a gaggle of happy ladies.

I was also in the Annunciation of the Lord this week where for the first time ever, I witnessed the tabernacle on the altar, along with a small but actual Crucifix, Our Blessed Mother and a beautiful image of Jesus Christ. I stayed for a minute and prayed to our Good Lord in thanksgiving.

It was a week of two miracles. What could be better than that?
