I will admit I thought the lead-in was for a celebration of the Ascension, since it is Ascension Thursday. As a Catholic school boy, this was a big day for us. The girls big day in May was May Crowning. But the boys gathered on Ascension Thursday for mass, a pancake breakfast and a day at the neighborhood park. Wonderful memories!

“May we all recognize what we were chosen to do.” Wise words Analise.
Peace
Jerry

I took resonate with much of this….my grandmother taking me under her wing since I was the oldest of 10. I learned everything from her….faith, family, gentleness, helping other, etc. She’s been gone 36 years today. Always in my heart.

What a beautiful tradition your family observed. Gathering and working together, praying and sharing a meal. It reminds me of all us gathering together, praying & working as a community at Church coming to the table to receive Jesus in the Eucharist.
God bless you and your family.

It all comes back to family as the rock solid foundation of our faith. Gathering, sharing, feeding, and most of all loving. Wonderful story and memories. Carry on with your good work and traditions. This is what life in Christ is meant to be. Peace my sister.

Am- I am praying for you. I experienced something similar in my past. My husband of 20+ years up and left suddenly and I raised and supported his two children of whom there is no further contact. His leaving was a typical cliche- a younger woman.
I can tell you that is was awful but God helped me through. Don’t let fear and lack of trust hinder you. Be courageous! I had found my best life post this ordeal.
God is good
