We have good days and we have bad days. Our journey probably looks like most of yours. And it feels really good to be here, in this place. Timos and I laugh and say that we created a Catholic Monster, because Garen rarely lets us get away with things, like missing Holy Mass, or not going to Confession.
I love seeing my husband openly embracing his love for God. I love watching him guide and encourage Timos in his Catholic Faith. I love listening to the prayers Garen sends up for the salvation of all of our children.
There is such a peace and unity in our home now. The discord and the pain of the lost is now replaced by that surety of being found. We are grounded in the ultimate Truth of Almighty God.
Garen and I have remembered why we loved each other from the beginning. Laughter is a constant in our lives now. As is prayer. And Faith.
Not that we don’t have struggles. We even give in to them more often than we want to admit. But we always remember, eventually, that we have tools at our disposal for living a Grace Filled Life. We kneel at the foot of the Cross. We ask for the prayers of the Saints. We pray the Rosary. We seek out Reconciliation. What overflowing Blessing!
I have a deep knowing that we can face whatever comes our way now. I know that the pain and suffering that will come our way will be laid down and surrendered to Jesus. I know that we will forever ask the Holy Spirit to come and be our Guide. At times we will hurt, we will falter, but we will never again be lost. Our suffering will never compare to the suffering of the Crucifixion. And one day our suffering will come to an end. For all these things we will rejoice.
Oh Sacrament most holy,
Oh Sacrament Divine,
All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine…
