Many people are unaware, but for those following my daily responses since May, I take my Catholic beliefs very seriously. That being said, the most cherished items in my wallet that are kept neatly tucked in the inside pouch’s year-to-year and wallet-to-wallet and over most of my adult life are – three items on either side pouch, both a green and brown scapular, and in the middle pouch, a small miraculous medal of Our Blessed Mother.
Well, now that the secret is out, I want to share that I never go to bed or wake up without offering prayers of gratitude and thanks for watching over and protecting our family. I also take the time to pray for everyone who has touched my life, even in the smallest ways, and to seek forgiveness for myself as I forgive those who have wronged me. I must admit, I am no saint by any stretch of the imagination; I have a strong Irish sense of humor and keep my Eire’ at bay. My two uncles, who were priests, would probably say that my sense of humor, among other things, is why we have confession. Writing this should be worth a couple of kudos towards Corporal Works of Mercy! Just saying.
