It was a bit cooler today, but more seasonable weather and
still pretty nice. We had round ten of thirty radiation treatments completed.
Those treatments for me are a snap; literally, they snap the hockey goalie face
piece down on the table, holding my Charlie Brown round red faced head to the
table for the radiation treatment. I am pretty lucky, able to get onto and off
of the table myself – do not have to disrobe – only my gray round red faced
head. The whole process from start to finish is less than fifteen minutes. The
techs are really nice as well.
I get pretty close to God each of these treatments,
especially this week. I think about how Jesus was betrayed by one of His own
Apostles, rejected by His own people and condemned to be beaten and crucified
for all sins, mine included. He went through all of that without any friends
standing by Him. They all abandoned him at the last. I have friends, your
prayers, and an incredible family support system. So, the buzzing machines do
not get to me, as I know what He did for me.
Father Dave Desmond had a nice Mass of Healing out at St.
George Catholic Church in Hartford last night. We all received the Anointing of
the Sick during Mass. A very beautiful church, if you have not had the
opportunity to visit them out there. We then met with a group of cancer
survivors from the Hartford area, with my classmate, Cheryl Prunty presiding.
It was nice to visit with those folks – I went to high school with some of
them, and have known many of them for years. Great, salt of the earth, people.
My touched by God moments yesterday were at radiation and
then again at the Mass of Healing in Hartford. Make it a great and Blessed Holy
Week!
