My Story

  I hope you enjoy this website. My hopes in creating this website is to offer a sanctuary during these very difficult times. A place of calm and prayer. Many of us, for one reason or another, do not have anyone to pray with. Some of us are widowed, others divorced or single. There are many reasons. I would like this to be a place of solace and prayer.
  A little about me: I was born and raised Catholic. Unfortunately, it was during the time when the church was removing all the statues from the churches and the corpus from the crucifixes. I learned "religion" (i.e. the history of the Catholic church and its origin) but I never learned faith.
  From a very early age, I loved God. I had a terrible childhood. My mother suffered from a serious mental disorder. She was very abusive. I seemed instinctively to be drawn to the mass. I found it so peaceful.
  I married at 19 to a man who was abusive and became addicted to drugs and alcohol. I did neither of those things. Life was very difficult. I had four children. The second child died a day after she was born. My third child was born early. I was 29 weeks. She was very sick for a long time. She had over 30 brain surgeries, two lung surgeries and open heart surgery. But she survived. She is mentally delayed but not as serverely delayed as you might think for all she's been through. My husband couldn't take the pressure. We divorced and I was granted an annulment by the church.
  It's these struggles that made me yearn for God. I needed Him so desparately. I needed to know how to communicate with God. Where do I find him? What do I say? Where do I go? I began my search. Our Lady has helped me so much in finding her Son. I want this website to be a place where people can go to Jesus and Mary with others. A place where people can pray together for each other. God has promised that where two or three are gathered in His name He will be there in their midst and whatsoever you shall ask He will do.
  God has been the only constant in my life. I raised three children on my own. There were many times I had to choose between paying the light bill or buying groceries. I rarely got what I wished for but I always got what I needed. God is good. I want everyone to know the God who has been so good to me. I believe prayer obtains everything. I hope you join in our circle of prayer.
  I wish you peace and blessings. May God protect you and hold you close to His Heart. May Mary surround you with her mantle of peace and protection. Please pray for me and with me.
