Field Trips

At the Divine Mercy meeting yesterday we discussed our upcoming plans to take a day trip to the National Padre Pio Center in PA next month and in mid-May a trip to Blessed Kateri Takewitha's shrine in New York, with a stop over at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA. Fortunately, after speaking with my husband about these trips, he's said as long as I don't lose my mind with all the packing and junk coming up that I can go. Yippee! I was hoping I could see these place before moving to Hawaii.

Another interesting thing is that on April 19th I will be installed as a Divine Mercy Apostle. Pretty cool! At our Divine Mercy celebration, I will share my healing story through the hands of a Divine Mercy priest at the MCCW Wordwide conference last October. Well, that's the plan, but I am hoping that God will make it clear to me whether I should share this at our parish in such a widespread manner. I am not certain. Would you?

So, my question to you all is: if you were healed of something crippling, would you tell a group of folks? Leave your answer in the comments, if you could kindly do so.

My story is briefly told in an October (7th) 2008 post. I keep hearing "a profit is without honor in his home town" . . . but on a blog there is a little anonymity, you know? I was healed of anxiety. Let's just say that it would keep me from going out. I would turn into Jell-O and get the trots (the shitskees) when I had to go somewhere - even if it were for fun (like going to the library to get a book I'd ordered in or a family holiday). I'm telling you in all seriousness, I would just get physically ill. I asked Father Ron to ask Jesus to heal me of anxiety at the healing Mass - and I thank God that He granted me this.

But, anyway, at least I'll have some fun photos' and stories to tell in the next two months. I mean, in addition to the other junk I throw your way.

Have a blessed night!
