Cleanliness Really Is Next To Godliness

A made bed is a sign of the Resurrection

Last week I was able to attend six days of silent Spiritual Exercises (posting here through the magic of post-dated entries).

Why did they believe? Because grave-robbers would have left a mess, but Christ stripped the sheets and placed them just so.

...Yeah, my kids aren’t going for it either.
