I CALL IT A MIRACLE

Posted by Daily Gospel Reflections at 09:05 PM on October 05, 2009

As some of you may know, I just came back a week ago from a pilgrimage to Portugal, Spain and France. Our European tour and pilgrimage was so great & fascinating. It was not just a sightseeing of many wonderful and exquisite places, but a faith-filled journey. We visited many shrines and holy places, including Fatima in Portugal and Lourdes in France. These were the highlights of our pilgrimage.

 

On this pilgrimage, there was something that happened that I could not forget- and which I call a miracle. We were traveling from Burgos,Spain going to Loyola, Spain. This was a four hour journey. Along the way, we stopped by a restaurant to take lunch. Now I was carrying a small bag which contained all my documents like passport, Socialsecurity, xerox copy of my passport, our travel itinerary, camera,camcorder, and all my cash money. When we took lunch at this restaurant, I put my bag at the back of my chair. After lunch, when we got up to leave, I simply forgot my bag on the chair. I only realized that I left my bag in the restaurant when we were already in Loyola,Spain. That was four hours drive away. Now just imagine the feeling that I had when I realized that all my documents, and money were gone? We could not go back because we were catching up with our schedule. In fact, we were a little behind in our schedule already. In that evening, were were heading to Fatima, Portugal. But when we were in Loyola,Spain, during the mass that we had at the house of St. Ignatius of Loyola, we prayed during the mass that somebody will find my bag and return it to me. Believe it or not, after the mass- our tour guide and manager, Ari, was able to call back the restaurant to inquire. And lo and behold, someone found my bag. And this person who found my bag sent it by mail to our hotel in Caen, France. I received my bag in France after five days with everything in it. Nothing inside the bag was lost or taken. I  had everything intact. Now, would you call this a coincidence? or a chance, maybe, or just mere luck? NO. I call this a miracle. I believe  in the power of prayer and the goodness of people. We prayed earnestly for it, and God readily answered. For this experience I thank God that there are still some  people in this world who are honest and good. And of course, if you pray earnestly, God will answer your prayers. Maybe not always according to your time and way. But He will answer you. No doubt about it.

Yes God is good. I recently had my brother visit from Ca. he was here for my nieces funeral. He told us of a story about a plant that was not producing any flower and it usually did. The Sun. he got the call to fly out. He went outside to digest the news and had glanced over and saw a tiny shoot from the plant had come up. So he felt it was my niece saying i am finally at peace. Then during the week I got a mass card fron St. Thresa of the little flower for her from a friend. The following Sat. I was invited to an Orchid show. At first I was not going. But something nagged at me to go. So I did. At the shows end they drew names and one man won a small orchid. Then mine was drawn next and I won the grand prize a Calaylia orchid. It was Beautiful. So my believe is that it had to come from my niece and most espically St. Theresa of the little flower. To show she is at peace and my prayers are answered. I never once stopped praying for her in the 35yrs as a dialysis and blind person. She had a lot of courge and we were blessed in our family with a beautiful person. God is Good and all the Saints as well. Peace of St. Francis to all.

Yes, I believe miracles do happen. In my existence, I experienced miracles not only once or twice but so many many times. When you pray earnestly and sincerely and request for favor you ask for wholeheartedly, God will certainly grant us the answer..... only in His own time

Daily Prayer during the Year for Priests

O Jesus, Eternal Priest;

keep all Your priests within the shelter of Your

Sacred Heart, where none may harm them.

Keep unstained their anointed hands

which daily touch Your Sacred Body.


Keep unsullied their lips purpled with Your Precious Blood.

Keep pure and unearthly their hearts sealed with the

sublime marks of Your glorious priesthood.

Let Your holy love surround them and shield them

from the world's contagion.


Bless their labors with abundant fruit,

and may the souls to whom they have ministered to

be their joy and consolation

and in Heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown.


O Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray for us;

obtain for us many holy priests.
