An Addition to the Rosary

I got a call from an Anglo-catholic friend of mine who should, in my opinion, be a character in an Evelyn Waugh novel. He has recently taken up the Rosary for his devotions. While sipping a Bombay Sapphire martini he came up with a new addition: the Leisurely Mysteries. He called me today to get my thoughts for good Gospel stories to add to this new devotion. Of course, JP II already got the Wedding at Cana for the Luminous Mysteries. So we need some other nominees. So far we have:

1. The woman anointing our Lord's feet
2. Jesus dining with tax-collectors and harlots

If you have a bit of a warped sense of humor (Kyle, are you there?) what might you suggest? I thought of the Barbecue on the Beach (of course), but does that really belong in some way to the Glorious Mysteries?

I'm Back

Thanks to everyone who has prayed for us as we all attended to the death and burial of my father in the last few weeks. I hope to post soon, but for now I am tired.

This afternoon I grill tri-tip for 160. Tiring, but after the last few weeks, a needed diversion.
