At Holy Angels Catholic church in Bainbridge, Ohio we are blessed to have Mercy Chapel. There is something quite sacred about this space. Over the last few months I have taken to
praying in front of our statue of Mary in our chapel. As a mother I find her my
life, my sweetness and my hope. I take
my motherly concerns to the pew in front of her and pray for her wisdom,
guidance and strength. I pour out my heart, my worries and my weaknesses. I
ponder her Fiat, her strength to say yes to God. I wonder how a young woman
could enter into this covenant of mystery. It could only be her faith. Her
fidelity to God and his promises gave her the courage to bear his son. I pray for a portion of that courage, I pray
for a restless heart, I pray for my
children at her feet.
