Another Beautiful Day!

Today is:

1-The feast of the Dedication of Mary Major in Rome.

2-The First Friday in August.

Adoration at Mary Major -- From Church Photos

 Double Adoration Day: I will go for my usual hour of guard from 1:30-2:30 in the afternoon and whatever evening shift my mother needs me to take.

 Rosary Day: Before Mass, I meditated on the Joyful Mysteries. Around noon, I hope to do the Luminious Mysteries. The Sorrowful Mysteries will be prayed over at my afternoon shift, and God willing, in the evening, I will meditate on the Glorious Mysteries.

3-And also...

Word to Life Day: the Friars will be discussing the upcoming Mass readings for Sunday on Word To Life from noon until one o'clock this afternoon....but I'll have to listen later, because I don't have access to Sirius Radio.

The first day I've been joined by my littlest sister in my morning water-the-garden with water from the dehumidifier frolic. She didn't quite make it down to my 'cell' in time to join me for Office of Readings and Lauds, but maybe tomorrow? All of a sudden, she is rather enthusiastic about joining me for prayer, which is wonderful!

The last day before I begin the Novena in preparation for the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin.

And various other things...none of which are really blog-worthy.
