Farewells

I'm not sure how to explain all of the posts today, it could be my newly reacquired health or it could be the sense of inspiration that comes from it being St. Therese's feast day (would LOVE to do a post about her, but maybe next year... when her feast day gets eaten by Sunday... DARN IT!), or it could be the mountain of homework that is piled up waiting for me because of all the sick days which is causing me to seek out distractions. I have a suspicion that it may be the latter. Anyway, today was a very bittersweet day because today we said goodbye to one of my classmates. We went out to lunch with him in Greektown and it was a great time.

This was the first man from my class to discern out and I must say it hits much closer to home when it's a classmate. While there is a great deal of joy to know that God's will is being done in his life, there is, also, a great deal of sadness because we are losing a brother from our day to day lives. There is a great deal of emphasis on class fraternity and our class is particularly close so it is very jarring to lose on of our own. He seems at peace and it seems (from the outside looking in) to have been a very prayerful and good discernment which makes it all the better in the long run. I would love it if you all could remember him in your prayers.
