He'd said it before, but it really struck me this time. I was visiting Gus, taking him communion. And we prayed the confession and I absolved him. His "amen" to the absolution was to look me in the eye and say: "Thank you." It made me smile. It still makes me smile. A dear saint of the Lord who loves and values the absolution and sees it for what it is. Made my day.
I was just thinking about him the other day.
