PRAYER AND FELLOWSHIP
I was at a Couples for Christ prayer meeting today. It went very well. We sang a number of songs, accompanied by two guitars. I knew and enjoyed singing about half of them. I tried to chime in on the rest, a bit here and a bit there. A local priest was expected to drop in, but didn’t make it, at least by the time I left. For our discussion we considered the Readings for the upcoming Sunday, the 7th Sunday of Easter. Our host had had them printed up for us and passed out copies. Included was a commentary by John Henry Cardinal Newman, full of insight. Summer approaching, the leaders and the more active members broached plans for vacation absences and traveling to Illinois for a major conference. After closing with prayer, we enjoyed a buffet lunch put together by the host and some of the attendees, and some good conversation.
