Today has been a day of reflection for us. We attended an All Saints Mass this morning at Saint John's Catholic High School. The mass was held for All Saints Month, and recognized alumni who had passed away in the last year. Mike's father was an alum of the class of '54 and was devoted to the school. Both Mike and his brother, Brett, attended St. John's as well.
The mass was a family event. Connor and Fiona behaved quite well for not-quite-3 year olds. The mass itself was attended by all students, teachers, some families, and families of the deceased alumni. It was done beautifully.
During the homily, the priest talked about a bumper sticker he saw in traffic one day. It said: "When power of love overcomes the love of power the world will be at peace." I thought it was very interesting. His message of the love of saints and of the departed was touching to all.
The photo at the top of today's post was taken last summer at Fenway Park (home to the Red Sox). Mike's father was a huge Sox fan. We miss him very deeply.
