Today, 4th Sunday of Advent, my 86th Birthday, I attended Catholic Mass on line, that is On TV sponsored by Heart of the Nation.org. Today's mass reminded me that a momentous event in US history has occurred. This event is the election Of Joe Biden the second Roman Catholic ever elected in the US. In case you have forgotten, the first one was John Kennedy.
For the last year couple of years,
Macrine (RIP) and I had been attending Catholic Mass on TV. Two reasons:
Macrine's poor health since 2016 and the Covid-19 Lockdown in March
2020. Heart of the Nation broadcast on Television is my favorite
Channel. Here's today's mass.

Last week homily during mass discussed that year 2020 is called Annus Horribilis ( Horrible Year) and the coming year 2021 will be hopefully Annus Gratia ( Year of Favor( Grace).
I really identified with the above homily, so it inspired me to search for major events in 2020 that I considered horrible as follows:
1. The mishandling of covid-19 Pandemic by Trump
2. The Impeachment Hearings of Trump
3. Black Lives Matter Protest
4. The Beirut Explosion
5. Trump Tests Positive for Covid-19
For the Good news:
1. Joe Biden became the 46th president of the United States on Nov. 7, defeating President Trump( with over 7 million popular votes) and with a critical assist from his birth state, Pennsylvania, which delivered the votes to propel him to victory and end one of the most contentious elections in recent memory.
2. Biden
announced Aug. 11 that he selected the California senator as his
running mate, making her the first black woman and the first Asian woman
on a major party’s presidential ticket. Harris became VP elect on Nov 7, 2020.
