Last night I attended Mass at St. Ignatius Church in Chapel Point, MD. This holy place is full of memories and possibilities and graces. It is the place of my Baptism and First Communion and Reconciliation and Confirmation. It is the place where friends met and sang in the choir. It is the place where I first learned of Jesuit Spirituality from the priests who ministered there from its beginnings in 1641.
Here in this place family members are buried and the light shines and the waters of the Potomac flow. This is a place of life in Christ, a place were life does not end. It is a place of peace, of Jesus’ story, of authenticity, of community.
Talk with your family today about your comfort areas, about where you find Jesus and peace and comfort.
Happy Sunday! Happy Family Day!
(Vacation is calling me so I will not be posting for a couple of weeks. You will continue to be in my prayers during this time. Please pray for me. Lots of blessings and peace be with you!)
