St. Padre Pio's feast day!

Today we woke up early so we could attend Mass for Padre Pio's feast day. Apparently Maria was still a little too close to dream world b/c this is what was happening at Mass for her....

someone coughed: "Oooh, you hear dat puppy?!"

a child crying: "Oh! Deir's dinosaurs outside Mommy!"

child crying again: "Ooh, dat's a mouse."

After Mass we have a special little set of thanksgiving prayers. Added to her prayers today was this plea, "Help me seeeee dinosaurs Je-dus!"

Padre Pio was an amazing man, whom I highly recommend learning more about. (Click the link on his name to read the Vatican's bio on him.)
