"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

Feeling Melancholy...
It's the anniversary of my father's death, and so, of your charity, can you spare a prayer for the repose of his soul.

Don't worry, Antonia... I just get a little melancholy on his anniversary, but I'm fine really!
Thanks to everyone for your prayers and kind wishes. They are very much appreciated, especially since, for so many years, I didn't realise that one could pray for the dead!

Prayers for both your dad and you. You must have lost him young.

Thanks, Karen... yes, I'd just turned fifteen... (and now everyone can work out how old I am!)
ReplyDeleteDone. Here in the US eastern time it's the 3 o'clock. So that worked out perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWill certainly pray...
ReplyDeleteMany prayers, Mac.

But of course. Prayers ascend for you, and for the repose of your father's soul.
ReplyDeleteMac, you have a way to go before you hit the "over the hill and down the other side" club.
