Saturday ~ liturgy with illness, vespers and the lighting of candles

Went to liturgy this morning,

our local church; the choir director ended up

falling towards the end of liturgy and

had to be taken to hospital by ambulance.

It was pretty shocking...we pray that he will be OK!

That was a hard thing. 

So pray for him, please.

I learned that an older lady in Ottawa who I knew then is 

having a serious heart surgery today.

I think it was sudden... so many things, so difficult...

***

My Husband and I had some good talks today,

I am grateful for this.

***

We went to vespers and to confession.

It's hard to believe that Holy Week is in one week!

***

I have my second eye appointment on Monday,

since my right eye started having problems that is.

I am sure, as my eye has not improved, that I will need

a second shot of medicine in my eye.

I wrote about the first shot here.

I am really dreading this and ask your prayers.

I think like many, we are all a bit weary by now.

May God have mercy on us and carry us to His Pascha.
