Spirit Is Willing

I'm still sitting here on the sofa, my foot a numb reminder that the flesh is weak.

The Legion of Mary has given me accountability for this year of change. One might call it the Weight Watchers of spiritual works. We carry out our service in pairs, then give a weekly report to the group.

Red-cheeked, I admitted my losses. Between Easter and First Communion, I missed 2 meetings. My Legionary partners moved to Oregon. My mom visited, so I postponed the nursing home visits, after which I subconsciously "forgot" the stroller for the abortion vigil.

That's how I know that the Legion of Mary system works. Without it, I'm sitting on the sofa.

With that in mind, I'm going to brush everyone's hair, throw the stroller in the trunk, and head out for a better week.
