I get it ... really I do ... but...

I get it, everything has a purpose.  Mosquitoes are eaten by birds. Bugs are eaten buy small animals.  Small animals are eaten by larger animals.  Winter snows insulate the ground, and provide water for crops that grow in the summer.  

But really - what can be the purpose of a stuffy nose!?!  And JP (from our edge youth ministry CORE team, said - "A Stuffy nose it stinks! and you cant even smell!
If I was to be completely honest I would have to give credit to Fr. Damian for sharing this wonderful gift with each of us in the office!  We are all walking wounded!  Despite all that - the preparations for the Pasta Night are almost complete and we will have 2 sold out seating's for dinner tonight in Piazza Della Santa Famiglia!  Thank you Holy Family Parish!


On a completely unrelated note - The Consistory was held this morning in Rome - and Bishop Collins received his red hat, and ring from Pope Benedict.  I will share 2 video's here: 
the first one is the sort part - where Archbishop Collins receives his Hat and Ring, 

this next video is of the entire consistory, about an hour and a half - the part with Cardinal Collins is at the 50:00 minute mark.

He woke up as "Your Grace" and goes to bed as "Your Eminence"!
Peace
