Before today's feast ends, remember this beautiful story...
A childless couple prayed for years for children. God seemed silent.
Instead of becoming bitter, they entrusted everything they had to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Their home became the site of the miraculous August snowfall that led to the building of St. Mary Major, the oldest Marian basilica in the West. Centuries later, the Holy Crib of the Infant Jesus was placed there.
God's answer wasn't "no."
It was something so much greater than they could have imagined.
Sometimes we think God has forgotten us because He hasn't answered our prayers the way we expected. But He may be preparing blessings beyond our ability to comprehend.
"What God has prepared for those who love Him has not entered into the heart of man."
What prayer have you been waiting on God to answer?
Let's encourage one another in the comments, and ask Our Lady of the Snows to help us trust God's providence, even when we cannot yet see His plan.
🙏 Ave Maria. #OurLadyOfTheSnows #CatholicFaith #TrustGod

CBS apparently had a major Epstein story in the works detailing major corruption at the top of Wall Street banks and involving the Virgin Islands government
Never made it to air under the new Bari Weiss/Ellison leadership
My favorite part about the potential first socialist governor is that she’s a moderate on property taxes for some reason but won’t budge on any Peak 2020 cultural issue
Honour the Holy Face on Tuesday with a visit to the Blessed Sacrament:
Our Lady to Blessed Maria Pierina
"A visit to the Blessed Sacrament every Tuesday in reparation for the outrages that the Holy Face of my Son Jesus received during His Passion and is still receiving in the Holy Eucharist every day”
Have you ever wondered if your hidden sacrifices really matter to God?
Sister Lucia once struggled with the feeling that she had left her greatest talents behind. But what Our Lord revealed to her after Holy Communion changed everything.

In the Finding of Jesus in the Temple in Luke 2:44, Saint Ambrose has an interesting point.
He says:
“He was not lost because of negligence on the part of His parents, but because He wished to teach that He is not always found among kindred according to the flesh, but must be sought in the things of His Father.”
In short that our highest allegiance is to the Will of the Father, not earthly relationships.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored us thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
It really is astounding that the most reliable way to know whether Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington is that John Fetterman puts on a suit to show respect to his leader, but not for anyone else, including American leaders.
