Something exceedingly beautiful dawned on me recently.
Do you remember this blog from last summer, where I excitedly learned that the Universal Living Rosary Association had asked me to pray on a daily basis the 5th Glorious Mystery, where I would meditate on the Coronation of Our Lady and the virtue of eternal happiness?
If you recall, I was thrilled to be assigned that meditation (for it was precisely what I had hoped for), and this caused me to immediately burst into joyful tears while I sat there in the empty church, having just opened up the envelope.
Then I burst into tears again when I later discovered that my assigned date of entry into the apostolate (which was July 16th) was the Feast Day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and of her Brown Scapular, my favorite sacramental.
Well now, my dear reader, I have burst into tears again!
While I didn't realize it at the time (for I had not even met Michael in person yet), on that blessed day, I was looking at my future wedding date on that card!! July 16th, which our priest suggested to us as an available date for our wedding, was something that again I did not realize the significance of until Father reminded us of the feast day.
Incredible, God. You absolutely astound me! Thank you for these gifts of signal graces, and may I never forget them.
