“Just thread the needle, it is God who does everything.” — Blessed Mary of Jesus
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I had the privilege of witnessing the marriage of Theresa and Ricky two weeks ago. For their honeymoon they traveled to Rome. After the Wednesday Audience they patiently waited in their spot but thought they were too far back to be able to greet the Pope. To their delight, he saw them and stretched out his hand to congratulate them.
Jesus will reward your patience too.
God bless you!
