Stuck At Home

How strange it felt not being allowed to attend Sunday Mass but would have to watch it on TV.  In times gone by I would have welcomed the opportunity to miss Sunday Mass.  The gospel today was a poignant reminder of that “…I was blind but now I see”. John 9:25

At first I thought…OK…I just wear my flip-flops and T-shirt, lie on the couch and passively observe. But that did not seem quite right. So I dressed in my Sunday uniform, suit and tie.  The same suit and tie I wear every Sunday.  I always wear the same suit, same tie and same shirt every Sunday…my hope is that on judgment day Jesus will recognize me.  I’m hoping for a “Didn’t I see you at my fathers house?”…Well, one can hope.

Dear Jesus

For someone without a clue

I know this is a gospel true

That you are the perfect Jew

That saved a world in a stew.

I am on longer sad and blue

For out of sin us you drew

This is when I really knew

To you Lord praise is due.

So, this is my prayer to You

That there only be just a few

That catch this crazy China flu

Thank you Lord for all you do.

Amen
