This morning in church, before the Mass started the choir started singing “Ave Verum Corpus” – “Hail, True Body”. My mom said she loved the song and started singing along. She was very quiet, but I could hear her. Although her voice is not what it used to be, she still hit the the high notes and it sounded beautiful to me. When it was over, she said it was one of her favorite songs and it felt so good to sing it. There were tears in her eyes as there were in mine when I was listening to her. The opening song was “America the Beautiful”. This song also moves my mom, so she started Mass with full and grateful heart.

I Found God today hearing my mom’s voice and seeing her reaction as she sang a beautiful hymn.
