Discerning A Vocation...

Feastday of St. John the Apostle

A very Merry, albeit belated Christmas to everyone! Christmas midnight Mass was awesome! First, before Mass, my mom mentioned something about this possibly being my last Christmas at home. I was surprised b/c I thought she wanted me to wait a year. She said "I know how hard it is to wait once you've made a decision." It was just what I needed to hear! A few minutes later, I saw two of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart coming into the church. I was so happy! It was Sr. Mary Ellen and Sr. Colleen Patricia who I knew from my discernment. The Mass itself was wonderful. They had a brass section on loan from the Met opera and our amazing choir. It just made you feel closer to Heaven.

I was at my aunt's house for Christmas and it was a great time. It was nice to see the family again and have some good food. I also think we made a new family record for latest time leaving my aunt's place. Well see we started playing games and before we knew it, it was 3 AM! Well I'm hoping that everyone had a blessed Advent and a wonderful Christmas. God Bless!
