August Update #1

My time spent giving service in the infirmary for our elderly sisters in New Jersey was certainly blessed! I got to work, play, and pray with our senior sisters, who are such wisdom figures for us. They are often very sweet, too. One time one of them, who has dementia, was making noises and talking incoherently in a tone of some urgency during Mass. When I thought that she was disturbing the others, I went over to her and placed my hand on hers to soothe her. She stopped her babbling, looked me right in the eye, and said, "I love you!" To which I responded: "I love you, too, sister. But we're in Mass now, so you need to be quiet." She was peaceful for the rest of the time.
