Refreshing

My husband and I had coffee this morning with a priest who is in from India for a few weeks. He is looking into my miracle for various reasons. It was just really nice to talk and meet with him and was a nice start to the week. He was very positive and a gentle spirit.

Thank you God for that and for all of our blessings.

All Saints Day

This is a perfect time, on All Saint's Day, to tell you about Blessed Chaminade. Some people close to me are not even aware of this but he is VERY special in my life.

In 2000, I was one of two young adults chosen by my church to go to Rome, Italy. We attended the Catholic beautification ceremony of Father William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the Marianist community (in 1816) of priests and brothers. It was performed by Pope John Paul II and is a step to becoming a saint. He was beautified after a South American woman prayed to him and was miraculously cured of her lung cancer.

Well, before that trip, during that trip and since that trip, my family, friends, church and I have prayed to Blessed Chaminade for healing for me. My medical case so far is unfounded in the realm of science and medicine and baffles any medical expert we have encountered. It is full of small and large miracles and I am so grateful to God, Blessed Chaminade and all the prayers of people around the world!

How awesome to see all my pain and suffering being used for so much good! How fulfilling!

So, Happy All Saints Day-it truly has special meaning for me and my family and friends!!

Today, I am so thankful for: God, Blessed Chaminade, the saints, angels, family, friends and prayers

Love,
Rachel
