God's Incredible Intervention

      I felt so excited to be writing another blog post! It had been almost 11 months since my last one. So much had happened. I was compelled to tell the previous years’ story, giving glory and praise to God!

Enkindle Our Upper Room

      Let us go to the upper room of our hearts and join with Mary and the apostles praying, while we wait with hope for a powerful coming of the Holy Spirit. May we be united in prayer as we recite this nine day novena*, in honor of the Solemnity of Pentecost.

Buoyed by Hope

     “Hope is the hand that the Lord gives us when the wind blows against us and obstacles impede the goal. Hope is the final resource the Creator puts at our disposition when we think all is lost. However, to nourish hope we are in need of trust and of living in the present moment.”                                            Pope Francis


     Hope is an invaluable asset given to us by God to assist us on our journey. It is like the light of Earendil, given by Galadriel to Frodo in the Lord of the Rings. “Our most beloved star: May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out.” Hope is not wishing on a star, but putting our trust in Someone, realizing that we are loved and known.
