Link to yesterday’s post.
Holy Father, my Mum-in-law once advised me to pick up a freshly fallen chestnut and keep it in my pocket all year long to be lucky. I did it not out of gullibility or superstition, but symbolically: Feeling it in my pocket reminds me of how lucky I already am. It also remind me to pray for her own happiness. On a greater level, this is like when I pray which makes my brain release oxytocin which brings plenty of joy to my body. My quest for happiness is like a child looking for the Easter eggs his parents hid for him in magnificent flower garden. I know it is there and I just take my time to find it one bit at a time. I pray that, for everyone, happiness is just around the corner.
AGENDA
Today we celebrate Gerald of Sauve-Majeure.
Saint Gerald (c. 1025–1095) was born in Corbie, Picardy, and was educated at the Corbie Abbey, where he later became a monk and cellarer. He suffered greatly from violent headaches which prevented him from carrying out his devotions. In an effort to cure them he made a pilgrimage with his abbot to seek the intercession of Saint Michael at Monte Gargano and that of Saint Benedict at Monte Cassino. While at Rome he was ordained by Pope Leo IX. On his return he was healed of the severe headaches by the intercession of Saint Adalard, a former abbot of Corbie, of whom Gerald wrote a hagiography. He later made a pilgrimage to Palestine, after which he was elected abbot of St. Vincent's Abbey, Laon, but the monks did not accept his authority or the imposition of proper discipline. After some five years he resigned from Laon in order to become abbot of St. Medard's Abbey, Soissons, but was driven out by an usurper. He then sought instead to found a new Benedictine monastery. Duke William VIII of Aquitaine gave him a huge tract of forest in the Gironde near Bordeaux, where Gerald founded the abbey of Grande-Sauve, of which he was also the first abbot. This developed into a powerful community for the advancement of the Benedictine Rule and mode of life, with significant influence from the customs of Cluny. Gerald began the practice of celebrating mass and the Office for the Dead for 30 days after the death of a community member. His constant advice to his monks for as long as he lived was that they should shun all discussion. He died at Grande-Sauve Abbey.

See you tomorrow, Frens!🤓
Mary!🤗💐
Our daily exchanges feel like finding that yearly chestnut in my pocket.❤️
Have you witnessed a new Church being erected since you lost that stone? Maybe it built itself upon it as Churches do.🤓💐
You know, i say if only because the future doesnt exist yet.... but, with faith I'd rather say when - anyway ...
If we win this war, this will be one hell of a story for the "history buffs" in the future. When they brush the dust off these years we've been through the last decade or so..... Yeah, it's one hell of a story
and we havent even gotten to see how the final scene plays out yet
Don’t we already know that God wins?🙏🏻
Exactly why i said its an "if" but with faith its a when
Really beautiful prayer and thought Pen. Remembering and counting each blessing, being joyful and finding things to be joyful about like the hidden Easter eggs. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks a lot, Fren.🙏🏻
