In the middle of the afternoon, I realized I had left my roomate's step stool over in the Church. (We had used it for today's May crowning Mass.)
Rats.
I couldn't leave it there (as it wasn't mine), so down the stairs and across the street to the Church I went (high heels and all).
Am I glad I forgot that step stool!
When I entered the Church, the sunlight was pouring through the stained glass windows. There was a beautiful serenity and complete stillness. The noises of the street and l trains faded away, and I caught my breath as I took in the grace of that moment. That beautiful, quiet moment in the middle of a decently hectic day.
Maybe I should forget things in the Church more often...
