Miscellaneous Rambling

So I searched the TDE archives for any reference to "gaudete," and I came across this excerpt from the Monday after Gaudete Sunday: *"I kinda feel like Gaudete Sunday ushered in the Advent season for me. Everything . . . was \[busy\]/ While at Mass Saturday night, it dawned on me that the sailing looks pretty smooth for the rest of Advent. I'll still be busy, but not rushed; I'll have obligations, but days won't be crunched."*  Pretty much summarizes where I am today, too. Peace and calm are the watch words. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Speaking of peace and calm, I again highly recommend [Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1586174770/ref=as%5Fli%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1586174770&linkCode=as2&tag=thedailyeudem-20&linkId=3MJYKRBICZA5F3Z5&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)

Hammer" posted a link to this nifty story in the TDE comments box last Sunday: [Why Charles Dickens Cried When He Met St. Jeanne Jugan](http://m.ncregister.com/blog/pattyknap/how-st.-jeanne-jugan-made-charles-dickens-cry?ref=thedailyeudemon.com#.Vm1xYkorLIV). "Once after meeting Jeanne Jugan, Charles Dickens said, 'there is in this woman something so calm, and so holy, that in seeing her I know myself to be in the presence of a superior being. Her words went straight to my heart, so that my eyes, I know not how, filled with tears.'"
