I often struggle in trying to keep my emotions in check. I can be very quick to react based on how I’m feeling. Then I usually regret it and have to apologize. Tonight I read a beautiful reflection from “The Word Among Us”, based on today’s gospel. It said in part, “Emotions are temporary, but God is eternal. He is always with you, even when you face life’s unexpected twists and turns. So try your best to stay close to him as well. Seek out his grace when the unexpected happens. You may not see blessings right away, and they may not all come to pass in your lifetime. But like Mary, you can always trust God knows the right path for you, and he will help you follow it.” Both my mom and I thought this reflection was just what we needed to hear.

I Found God today in a beautiful reflection.
