The other day, July 25, my Christmas cactus bloomed.
They are very cool and very temperamental.
A friend told me his hadn’t bloomed in ten years.
Being a guy who always ponders the meaning of symbol
I’m wondering what good fortune this suggests for my Christmas in the fortieth anniversary year of my journey as a priest.
Hope it will be good for you too, dear readers!
