No Web Link and Little Conrad

To send this card: St Cyril of Alexandria

Today is also Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Quote for the Day: That anyone could doubt the right of the holy Virgin to be called the Mother of God fills with astonishment. Surely she must be the Mother of God if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, and she gave birth to him! Saint Cyril of Alexandria

Web link for Wednesday

I don't have a web link. Nope. I know there are ten zillion sites out there, but its nine o'clock in the evening and not one of them pops into my head as being worth sending anyone to. Isn't that sad?

Not really. Just means I'm brain zoned and ready for bed and don't want to go looking at any more sites to see if I like them.

Did I tell you about my little fish named Conrad? I got him a few weeks ago from my sister, Euli for an early birthday present. He was just a little guy and I put him in the pond with the big Koi and he zoomed down to the bottom of the pond and that was the last I saw him for weeks.

Every day I would look to see if I could find him...but I never could. The pond was very dark with algae (starting to get clear now) and so I could only see about two feet down. Never, a glimpse of a little black and orange fish showed up.

I was sad because I loved little Conrad even though I only saw him that one day. So I kept looking and wishing and praying that he was still alive.

Well, finally, one night Sister Jane was out for one of Shelley's last trips of the day and she said she saw him! I thought... "Poor Sister Jane she is losing it."

But no... a few days later.... as the pond cleared.... there was little Conrad! Whew. Now I could tell my sister, Euli that Conrad was alive. I hadn't told her he was missing.I kept hoping . . .

Now I have also found Conrad's hiding place. It was the same spot little Jasper stayed in when he was small. The filter box. It's small, its dark and best of all . . . all the food that doesn't get eaten right away when I feed the bigger fish ends up in the filter box! What a feast for one little small fish... who is growing quite rapidly by the way.

Blessings of Peace and all Good,
Sister Patricia

Mini Retreat Theme: A Time for Miracles Quote: Meditation: (set your timer for ten minutes) Some miracles come when we don't expect them. We don't even know how bad we need them until they happen. Know what that means? Means that someone very special..... someone very powerful and loving and kind . . . is watching out for us. Today, smile because God is watching out for you. Today and for all your tomorrows God is there ahead of you. So today, just be content that you don't have to worry about how to be better or pray better or do anything.... but be happy because God is there for you. Without you doing anything at all. Prayer when time is completed: Jesus, I wish I would worry less and trust more. Thank you for helping me bit by bit to realize your love is holding the world together not me. Amen.
