Our Little Saint, Catherine Grace, Ora Pro Nobis!

I have to admit, I was excited to attend the Vigil Mass tonight. Why? Because this time, we have our own little Saint in Heaven, and it just made All Saints Day (vigil) and praying the Litany of the Saints that much more special.

Miscarriage is horrible. Losing our first child, ridiculously horrible. Knowing she is in heaven in the presence of Our Lord forever, super comforting. Actually, it is ridiculously comforting, now. Today, I thought about what it will be like teaching our son about his older sister, the saint. How we will pray for her intercession all the time. How the pain of losing her has turned into something else. It is still pain, just transformed. Something else...transformed.

With little Catherine Grace in my heart and on my mind, everyday, and especially All Saints Day, I thank God for the peace that I feel today. The peace that can only come from the heavens above. The peace I have praying for - for a long time. I pray that I can continue to feel this way for the next days to come.

All You Holy Men and Women, Angels and Saints, Pray For Us!
Our Little Saint, Catherine Grace, Pray For Us!
