“Strength and beauty are her clothing, and she shall laugh in the latter day” (Book of Proverbs).
The 26th of this month, on the feast of Saint Isaac Jogues and Companions, preceded by this glorious Ember week in the Church calendar, I will be leaving my Grandparents to stay with my Mom, before God-willing, entering into the Carmelite Anchorite vocation. The day before I leave them, they will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary; on September 5th, none other than Father Maximilian Mary renewed their vows in the Latin Rite and enrolled them in Our Lady’s Scapular of Mount Carmel. This video has some of the footage from the ceremony along with a few experiences that I believe Our Lady wants me to share, from my own process of waiting, that took place under the roof of my “Papa and Grammie”. There are no words to express how much I owe them; how much I love them.
