My prayer was answered today; intercession of St. Rita & St. Monica

I'll sleep better tonight.
Family member has been estranged since covid vaccinations became available; called today and coming to town for several days.
May all be well as family gets together.

I have not had covid & am up in years.
So many have had covid in one form or another & it has mutated so much that some, even vaccinated, are getting repeat cases.
This person is somewhat a loner - doesn't go out in crowds particularly.

I'm in the minority in my family. I have been blocked by a sister and brother on social media, and they don't answer the phone when I call them. All this simply because I am a Democrat. We had a rule about not talking about politics until the 2016 election. Just sad, --- and stupid.
