Air travel

We're praying Patrick home today. I keep checking the weather info on the internet, and the airline flight information, and all appears to be well. I need to get to sleep, so I think I will leave him in the capable hands of St. Joseph of Cupertino, patron of airline travelers, and St. Christopher, patron of travelers, and just for good measure, Our Blessed Lady, his mother in heaven, who will watch over him with loving care while his eartly mother gets some much-needed rest.

What a comfort it is to have faith and the Communion of Saints to pray for us to God!

We are also praying in thanksgiving for Tommy, Tara, and Anabel's safe arrival in Philadelphia. While we wish they could join us in Misawa for Christmas, we are happy that they are safe in the arms of Tara's loving family. And Anabel will get lots of hugs and cuddles from her mama's family in the coming weeks of Christmas break.

The fourth week of Advent is going to be a joyous one in both our households. : )
