June ninth is the start of the Vestalia. Vesta is my patron deity; I miss the time last year when I practiced flame-keeping, and I regret not being able to live a monastic life. As a side note, I am very dissatisfied with my knowledge of the theology related to Vesta. (What I mean is, something actually known, such that you could teach it on the spot, if someone were to ask you to do so versus mere familiarity.)

At mass today, there was a woman who was wheeled in by two attendants. She looked like she had been ill for a very long time. She couldn't speak. She could only make sounds.
I pray to the gods on behalf of all people who are ill, including those those with short-term illnesses, those with long-term illnesses, those who are terminally ill, those who have psychological illnesses, those who have cognitive differences, and those who have emotional difficulties. May they have healing, comfort, and peace.
