“Prayer is powerful beyond limits when we turn to the Immaculata who is queen even of God’s heart.”

- Saint Maximilian Kolbe

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
- Psalm 23:1 (from today's Responsorial Psalm)

Today, August 22, the Feast of the Queenship of Mary (and the day that I renew my Marian Consecration), the Lord and Our Lady would like to give our family and all our prayer warriors such wonderful news: Baby Thomas Anthony can finally go home! ❤️😭

We praise and thank the Lord for His kindness and faithfulness, especially shown through ALL OF YOU, our prayer warriors! We thank God for those who visited us in the hospital, sent messages of encouragement and hope, offered up Masses and Holy Hours and other prayers for Tommy's healing, and even gave or have pledged to give Tommy "gifts" to help with our mounting hospital bills accumulated over the past two weeks. We are deeply humbled by the generosity of those who offered to help us even without us asking. At first, we were hesitant to accept help (we actually still are now) but as some of our friends would repeatedly tell us, "Don't refuse God's blessings. Allow others to be blessed by blessing your family." 😭❤️Thank you so so so much.

Indeed, we are truly blessed to have all of you in our "village." May the Lord repay you for all your goodness; may He be your Shepherd all the days of your lives. May Our Lady, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, intercede for you and your loved ones, and shower you with graces that come only from her Son.

On behalf of our family, many, many, many thanks again! Let's continue to pray for all who need healing in body, mind, and spirit. There are so many people in need of our prayers.

God bless us all!🙏🏻

Totus Tuus, Maria!
