The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to this virus and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world. Some signs and symptoms of The Advent Virus: ♦ An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment. ♦ A loss of interest in judging other people. ♦ A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others. ♦ A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.) ♦ Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation. ♦ Frequent attacks of smiling. ♦ An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. ♦ An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it. This virus can affect and has affected many systems. Some systems have been completely cleaned out because of it. 50th International Eucharistic Congress takes place from June 10-17th, 2012 www.iec2012.ie volunteer@iec2012.ie Cathedral Remembered in Masses this Week: Sat:6.30 Margaret Pierce, Co Wicklow & Clonroad. 1st Anniv Sun 28th: 9am Gemma Curtin & Biddy Quinn.
