I asked a man who I call Friend to come to 52F and bless Big Toot. Deacon Ramiro Rodriguez of St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church in Lewisville, brought his prayer book and a bottle of Holy Water.
Wearing his Deacon's collar he read a prayer asking God's blessing and care on the plane and its passengers. In some of the pictures you may see me holding the small bottle of water.
Deacon then prayed a blessing on me and proceeded to bless Big Toot all over with squirts of the Holy Water. You can see the water caught in flight in some of the images.
It was a very moving occassion and I am very grateful to Ramiro for answering my call for this blessing.
