Hi my friends! Can you share One Grace that’s happened to you today?! I’ll go first: I was reminded today how great God’s love is — God let me get a little extra rest and still made sure I didn’t miss Mass! Let’s hear them!

.. when life is somewhat in turmoil and even when it’s not, it is important to pray to Our Lady. In times when we need help, as our Mother, she is always willing to help us and provide for us and intercede for us. She will pray for us to the Father that our needs will be met. “Hail Holy Queen.. our life, our sweetness and our hope”

As I rest in silence, my heart becomes aware of the many blessings God has granted me since birth. He has rescued me time and time again, and He is still faithfully saving me today. I love you Jesus! I surrender myself to You!! - Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV): "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths". 

Okay…. You asked for it! Here’s the challenge! 🫶 We need to start counting our blessings. The world is full of bad news — but we have the greatest News… Jesus who comes to save us! But… we need to announce it when it comes. 💪So here’s the challenge: Every day - create a new post under the challenge category and share a blessing you received that day… You get an extra point if you share a Bible verse! (Possible — 2 points a day) This is going to be an advent challenge… so the last day is Christmas! 😇Winner will receive an advanced copy of my book on prayer — currently in the works! And the challenge starts…. NOW! 🥹🙏🔥 Here’s my blessing: all of you - sharing your faith - loving your faith - ready to commit to growth in virtue! I’m grateful for this community!
