Today our friend came over and played the piano with mom. We read some of a local Catholic publication while we finished off the Thanksgiving pie. I came across an article about a woman who turned 100 years old. She joined her local parish when it started, about 70 years ago. Her son was an altar server at the church’s first Christmas Mass. She still lives a little less than a mile from the church and walks to Mass every Sunday. She said she used to walk to attend daily Mass, but then that got too hard. Our friend attends daily Mass at a church near her and told us about a woman there who is 96 years old. She lives in some apartments nearby and walks when the weather is not bad. Our friend says she thinks the woman is trying to reach 100 as well. I was in awe of the resilience of these faithful women.

I Found God today in resilient, faithful women.
