A couple of days after my mom was admitted to the rehab center, I brought in a statue of Mary – Our Lady of Lourdes – and a small bottle of holy water. Usually before my dad and I leave for the night from visiting, we bless ourselves and say a prayer together. There are a couple different women who come to clean my mom’s room on a daily basis. One of them is oriental and speaks just enough English to get by. Today my mom said the woman was in to clean her room and asked about the religious items. My mom told her about the statue of Mary – Our Lady of Lourdes. And she told her that the water was blessed – holy water. The woman then opened the bottle and blessed herself with the water.

I Found God today in my mom the evangelist.
