Since I’m up early, even for me, with my catz and my anxieties (maybe the same thing ...), I just wanted to let you know that I’ve had your family constantly in prayer! I printed a picture of the martyrdom of Bl. Father Pro and put it as a bookmark in my journal, so at least once a day, he and I both remember that you need God’s blessings.
Excelsior, FRiend ... it will soon be spring, even where you live.
My goodness, that’s the nicest message I’ve ever received on FR or the Greater Internetz. Thank you very much.
A baby girl was born on the 11th, perfectly healthy — quite a miracle — but the mother is still not well and is not cooperative with my wife at the moment - so no more seeing the baby for now. The Guardian Ad Litem wishes we could keep the four little kids permanently but it really isn’t feasible. Many of my prayers are directed to the disposition of those children and particularly that they end up in a Christian home or homes (more likely). My wife still hopes the kids could go back with their mother but with the new father moved in there that seems even less likely.
I will look up Blessed Father Pro (forgot to last time) and see if he was from any of the areas we visited in Mexico way back then. Things like that are always interesting. Don’t forget to ask Saint Dymphna for favors if your anxieties start to be a problem. I keep a direct line open to her 24x7!
Will take the two older girls to Latin Mass later today. Martha is catechizing the little kids while they’re here and I took them to two VBS last summer. Will send a pic. Thank you again!
