thoughts of new blessings

shared by VJ Rabuy, her sister

I’m not sure when we started doing it, but when Cindy and I would get a new shirt, or dress, pair of pants, or other article of clothing as a gift, we would wear it to church first, before any other time we would wear it out.

In a way, it was as if we were blessing our new clothing item, being able to dab a little bit of holy water on it when signing the cross. It may have been something we had picked up from our dad.

Either way, it was a nice little ritual that I occasionally continue to practice; and it always reminds me of Cindy.
