God's Cathedral

I've been thinking about evangelizing. I've heard the best evangelizing is through stories and personal witness/testimony. This blog was created with the intention of creating in me more awareness of God in my life and I've been using this for a while now. It's good to have reminders of God's constancy and love.

I awoke at 4:00 as usual. It's a clear, 58 degree morning. As I leave the house at 4:30, the eastern horizon light is soft blue melting into a sliver of gold like the beginning notes of a symphony heralding the coming of the sun. I meet Laurie and we walk our two turns around Nepessing street and I drop her off at Fit Body Boot Camp. I have about 40 minutes free time before I go to church at 6:00 for time with the Lord and receiving him in the Eucharist at 6:30. Since Mother Angelica and her sisters pray the rosary on EWTN at 5:30, I decide to walk and pray the rosary in Mt. Hope cemetery. I turn to EWTN on my phone and there is beautiful singing by the sisters at the monastery leading up to the rosary just as I am entering a cathedral of pines. Breathtakingly, achingly beautiful experience. Thank you Father God. I felt the communion of all those in the cemetery who have led so many different lives and have passed on and now, hopefully, live in full communion with God in heaven and then, in church, I was in communion with the three people, Rosemary, Tom and George. The readings were messages straight to my heart, God had used the walk to open my ears to his Word. I must say the first reading put fear of the Lord in my heart for our country of stiff-necked citizens who have turned to pagan Gods. May God have mercy on us. Jesus I trust in you. I know Love is always the answer.
