Grace is…being around people with a great sense of humor and very active imaginations, a large
cup of hot tea on a cold winter’s night, heading home when a neighbor calls and
needs something though you aren’t sure what, because her phone cuts out after
about ten seconds, the ability to appreciate and smile at children who are too
clever and intelligent for their own good, Mom’s homemade family recipe chili
with mashed potatoes, noticing the variety of crayon colors used on the wall
and the bathroom door, having people be really excited and relieved to have you
back…

Happy New Year Kevin and I want to start this year off right,
so we went to the vigil Mass at St. Benedict's New Year’s Eve. I couldn't think
of a better way to ring in the new year than to kick things off with a focus on
Christ and a tribute to Theotokos, the God-bearer. In the morning, we went to Mass at our usual
parish for the Solemnity of the Blessed Mother.
It was great to see the church so packed for a middle of the week feast
day Mass! Click here to find out what's so special about Mary.
