Habemus Papam!

What a wonderful new pope! Just for posterity, it was Wednesday before spring break. I worked in the morning, come home for the afternoon so I could return to work that evening for a retreat I was leading. With all of the technology available, I wasn't worried about missing anything. Between the Pope Alarm from focus, Twitter and friends I was sure to know instantly. And yet..... I was vacuuming!! Which blocks out the sound of my phone. Ah well, I was about 4 minutes late to the party. Whether I was observing or not, we have been blessed with a holy, humble and joyful new Vicar of Christ! How exciting!

Happy Feast of St Joseph - a day to nOT observe your Lenten fast! Celebrate!
