The Lady at Mass

I love Mary and I often search for her in the women that cross my path. My daughter, Carter who is three has been a high energy child for over two years now. It is quite a challenge to keep her quiet at mass and believe me we have tried most everything. A few weeks ago my family and I were at mass. As usual we were in the narthax with our spirited child. There was another family there that day with a daughter about a year younger than mine. Carter took to the little girl immediately and played with her throughout mass. When it was time for the consecration, the mother of the little girl knelt down and folded her hands in prayer. Carter saw this beautiful lady and copied her. Instead of being annoyed, this lady took Carter's hands in her's and taught her the correct way to fold her hands in prayer. What a beautiful thing to watch. I truly saw Mary our mother in this woman. May God bless her and her beautiful family.
