We visited the Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis for morning Mass. The Cathedral was just dark enough that no pictures were really turning out good enough to post. I found, on the back of a pillar, the Episcopal Motto of the former Archbishop of St. Louis. The words are Secundum Cor Tuum, and they mean ‘After Your Heart.’ I was able to get a good shot of the bear in front of the Archbishop’s coat of arms.
We spent a good portion of the day at the Missouri Botanic Gardens. It was really a lot of fun, and is way bigger than the Denver Botanic Gardens, judging by the way my feet felt! They have a cool display going on right now. We met one friend and her kids at the Gardens, and had lunch together in the parking lot. After that, we went back to the friends house, in Wentzville, MO, and spent the night. We went to Mass this morning at St. Gianna's Parish, which is currently in a storefront, but they're working on building a church building for themselves.
We’re back in St. Louis now, getting ready for Dad’s birthday dinner. It ought to be really good; steak, Brussels sprouts, salad, cake, rolls, ice cream, mmmm…
