It is a day when only those who are 12 and under get an extra day off at school. I personally think we should all take a day off and celebrate with these younger versions of us! Sure, some of them can be quite a handful, but they are all built that way... fun!! :O) To all my younger brothers and sisters out there that remind me how to live... a blessed restful day to you!
I just received a special Children's Day package from LA. It is the DVD of the Rosary Bowl held on May 19 in Pasadena. (How apt! Today marks the first day of the Rosary month!) All those who volunteered were sent this package. Looking back, I think it was this and several other reminders, like my stay at DMI and my trip to La Vang, that deepened my relationship with my Mother. For a very long time, I've always yearned for a closer bond with our Lady of the Rosary, and it's finally been answered. (I'm sure it's the Sisters praying for me too!)
I thank you Mother for your constant intercession. Continue to be there for the people of Burma. Holy Mother of God, pray for us!
Over the weekend, the postulants handed me a rosary. They said it was something they started and it gets circulated within each individual from the group every two days. The beads are made up of a total of five different colours (the red has been enhanced in Photoshop because the colour has faded to a transparent ever since they began. Each colour for each of the continent of the world. This rosary was bought from La Vang (in Quảng Trị province). It is just a short 50 min drive north of Hue. La Vang is where our blessed Mother appeared to the Vietnamese people in 1798. I will visit there one of these days.
Today, I hand it over to someone else.
