Triple joy on this feast of the Immaculate CONCEPTION!

1. Received Raymond Arroyos’ book MOTHER ANGELICA, The Remarkable Story of a Nun, her Nerve and a Network of Miracles. It only took two days for delivery by mail! Usually takes 5 to 7 days for something to cross over to Québec Province!

2. Reminds me of the wishes i received from Mother Angelica who send me a post card signed on the Immaculate Conception about 7 years ago! (the only words we have ever shared).

3. Rex, our German Sherpherd who had been lost out in the woods 7 days ago came back today! 7 days without food, water, sleeping in -17 celsius weather at night!
We had lost him that blizzary Friday afternoon, thinking that he would come back home as he usually did. Went out looking for him but could not see his tracks. We thought he was dead.
He got caught up in a trap (for Coyotes?) in our neighbours property. Our neighbour freed him today. He came back thin as a toothpick but unharmed! Deo Gratias!!!
