Embracing the spiritual blessings in unfamiliar places with faithful souls that might worship differently than us is powerful. Today, Let's be open to be cleansed of anything standing in our way of loving our neighbor and being more like Jesus!
Sometimes there are miracles in the mess. The Mother of God was called to do the impossible. She gave her Father her "yes" without conditions. She pondered many things in her heart and remained patient and obedient. We are called to feel inspired by her walk when our lives are messy, cluttered and confusing. Our lives are unpredictable, but having a relationship with God as Mary did---offers the inner peace that she had. She lived to see the miracles of her Son's works--she trusted and we should do more of that too.
