It’s April. Spring showers will give way to May flowers, Yet, there will be no pilgrims. I think the joke was phrased wrong. Oh well.
April is the month dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament. It is providential that Holy Thursday will fall in the month dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament.

Catholic Millennial. I hail from Philadelphia, PA. 4th-degree member of the Knights of Columbus. I enjoy writing, traveling, ballroom dancing, meeting new people, having deep conversations over a cold beer or wine (sometimes champagne), and petting adorable dogs that come right past me.
I hope to convey more messages from our culture with a twist of faith.
Some of my writings will range from pro-life (yes, men can have a say in the abortion issue, Karen), pop culture, history, and just some spontaneous reflections without warning
