Richard is enjoying the blue rosary I sent him I think more than the chocolates. It is a trip....I felt God telling me to go ahead and put a rosary in the pkg. I had no idea who he was...and that he was RCC. Then he let me know that the rosary had a good strong string and he seemed happy to get it!
Small thing but it is those type of things in life that make me happy.
I enjoyed Xmas. For the first time in my life, I only spent it with family and I did not go to church at all during Xmas Eve nor Xmas morning. I celebrate though the incarnation of Jesus all year long...pray that miracle in my ecumenical prayer at least once a week on those days.
And an happy Christmas* to you, and a blessed Christmas+ to you when it comes!

May God grant you strength in the final days of the fast. If I remember from my OC days, this is the particularly hardest part of the Nativity Fast.

Take care Michael.

I did indeed appreciate the rosary very much, but I'm an Anglican not a Roman Catholic.
