Happy belated Feast of Corpus Christi

So I just saw this video and since I've always been fascinated by Eucharistic miracles, I loved it. But I hope everyone hasn't already seen it, since my husband seemed to think it was old news.

2000 years old news... =P

Happy Palm Sunday!

Honestly, the weaved cross impresses me. The rest are just ridiculous!

Full of Grace

God does not ask the impossible from any of us. What he asked of Mary on the day of the Annunciation, he asks of us every day as well. It is true that rather than asking me to become mother to His Son, God is simply asking me to make dinner for my baby right now. No situation, however is without purpose in God's eyes.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, disappointed or frustrated by what God is asking from us, but this is only because we are forgetting that He also offers His grace to assist us. Perhaps Mary did not even understand exactly what Gabriel's proposal meant, and even if she did, she responded as God would want us all to respond- YES, I trust you.

Just like Mary, God asks me to forget myself and accept His will. Not what I envision as His will, or what I believe should be His will, but truly what is presented to me at this moment. Once I accept this truth, I accept His graces, and from there my actions will serve a purpose in His providence.

Dear Mary, help us to follow in your example and be open to our loving God's purpose for us and accept His graces to guide us through our days.

Happy Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe


"Hear me and understand well, my son the least, that nothing should frighten or grieve you. Let not your heart be disturbed. Do not fear that sickness, nor any other sickness or anguish. Am I not here, who is your Mother? Are you not under my protection? Am I not your health? Are you not happily within my fold? What else do you wish? Do not grieve nor be disturbed by anything." — Our Lady to Juan Diego




Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, Pray for us!
