Some observations:

• Many good things are worth the effort they require. Good things are easy only because of God’s grace.
• Yesterday, I had class during Mass. Today, I joined the Casa Maria community during the afternoon for Mass. Every time I receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament for the first time after having previously missed Mass a day or more, I am overcome with emotion. (That means I weep.) I don’t understand why, but it happens.
• Cheese-Nips are not nearly as tasty as fatty Cheese-Its.
