Smile, you're a sinner :)

So, here is another simple, yet meaningful post! This is one that came to me during Sunday Mass this past weekend, when once again I found myself grinning from beginning to end! That reminded me of this quote from Blessed Mother Teresa - one of my favorites; the person and the photo! I posted this as the new cover photo on my FaceBook page Sunday evening.


That made me think about all of the reasons I have to smile, so I looked through my photos for some of the ones that show me doing just that. I found plenty!
 
Then (coincidence, I think not!) I took a look at FaceBook late Monday night. Our pastor had mentioned this in a post this weekend - 

Did you ever notice that at the beginning of every Catholic Mass we acknowledge our sins? It’s as though I’m at a Twelve-Step meeting and stand up to say, “Hi, I’m Bill and I’m a sinner.” I look around and see that I’m not alone and I can find strength in the shared grace that allows us not to be consumed by our sins. Father, Son, and Spirit smile in seeing us together as they are.  Smile if you’re a sinner too: we are Church precisely to help each other!

God is good - and has shown once again that He certainly does have a great sense of humor! I'm still smiling just thinking about it; and I'm pretty sure I heard another "BAZINGA" :)
