Transfiguration Monday

We were away at vigil for the Feast of Transfiguration

and liturgy for the Feast of the Transfiguration of Christ this morning...

It was lovely... always different, always special...

a Grandfather and father of ones in our church had recently fallen asleep in the Lord

and his body was resting at church, surrounded by prayers... 

this was beautiful to see... 

As I type I can smell a pasta sauce I just made

I used olive oil with onion first, then once the onion is caramelizing, 

I added 4 chopped blessed tomatoes with seeds and simmered.

I chopped up our blessed basil and added that and a bit of 

jarred minced garlic and more olive oil and let it all mix

and simmer together.  It will have a wonderful tang to it... the smell of it

newly cooked is wonderful... 

So Cleo is seeming to be declining further... 

while still loving her treats and drinking water, she is hiding out more,

does not sit on top of my chair any more or visit us much;

this is VERY out of character for her.

We are taking her to the vet again this Wednesday.

She is 16 and while I don't know when, yet, I am preparing to lose her.

I think she has lost even more weight. 

Please pray for wisdom for us. 

I gave her the kitty blanket to lay on but of course,

she was contrary and chose the tile floor....

Well, I am still planning on going to NYC tomorrow

so I better get on to bed.

May God help us with whatever it is we are facing.

With God, we can face it; He can carry us through...
