A chapter in the book Verse and Story for 2022
February Feasts & Anniversaries
by dovemarie
| Background In January 2022, I began a book about events, holidays and holydays for each month of the year 2022. I am now in February. |
On February 5, I celebrated my 66th anniversary of Baptism into the Catholic Church. The Baptism took place in 1956, when I was 22 days old. I was the lector for the 4:00 p.m. Mass that day, and I received a blessing from the celebrating priest.
On February 8, I attended Mass in honor of the feast day of St. Josephine Bakhita, a slave from Sudan. We pray to her for the intention of an end to human trafficking. On that same day, I remembered my child's father, it was his birthday, he would have been 66 years old, but he died a long time ago.
On February 9, I remembered my sister's birthday which was also the day my maternal grandmother died from cancer.
Today, February 11, I celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, France, where she appeared to a young peasant girl in 1858, and I had the privilege of visiting the Grotto where she appeared, and washing myself with the miraculous spring water, in October 2021. Also, on Feb. 11, 2009, one of my eyes was cured of myopia because I had laser surgery. I thank our Blessed Mother for guiding the hands of the physicians and surgeons.
