HAPPY FALL

I know it is not fall yet but my 9 year old Peter,ever the observant one, has declared it officially fall because it is September. This is also while he is stripping down to his skivvies and asking to go in the pool, which he did at least 4 times today. Now I know that with his incredible memory Pete will go places, but currently I am ever surprised at what the boy comes out with. He will make wonderfully cute comments like "now I can think like a girl" from The Fairly Odd Parents cartoon, as we are walking into a store. But tonight he just once again blew my doors off by asking me a question when I came home for dinner. I was at this computer looking up something for my wife Lynn, and while I was searching I brought up my Itunes and checked for new podcasts, he walked over to me and asked if I was looking for "have mercy on us, and on the whole world". Now I have 2 Divine Mercy pod casts in my Itunes feed, but he does not know that the line comes from the chaplet. I did once have EWTN on when they were showing some of their children's programming and I think one of the shows was about the Divine Mercy, but.... that was 5 months ago. I do know if you walk into my house and say" For the sake of His sorrowful Passion" you will get the response " Have mercy on us and the whole world". Now I have been growing in my devotion to the Divine Mercy from Jesus through St Faustina and will be looking for ways to bring it further into my home. As St. Faustina said "Jesus I trust in You."
Have a nice Labor day every one, we are off to my parents house to celebrate their anniversary.
