My sister posted this on social media this weekend. It was a handful of years before we three were baptized, but I suppose it’s our first verified encounter with a saint.
My sister wished for a family reunion at Christmas, but my 25 December connections have been limited to late in the evening a few times. When you have your own out-of-town family, it’s more about celebrating at home.
To think of overseeing up to eight Masses, than pack a threesome into a car or worse, a long flight late Christmas day, it needs a special energy, I find difficult to generate.
