Our chapel here in Wilton Manors can be considered, in many eyes, small. But I would like to tell you of some of the miracles that have been happening to those who come to our Chapel. Four weeks ago Michael C. came to Mass for the first time (after having moved from California) and upon leaving said that he would no longer be smoking. He had tried before to stop but he had a feeling that this time it would work. The following Sunday he returned to the chapel and announced that he had not had a cigarette since his last visit to the chapel. And as of now he has been nicotine free. Miracle? Some People might call it one, especially those who have been trying to get off cigarettes for a long time.
And today, in this some times bleak looking economic world , Michael C. told us that he had landed a subsantial business account with a large national candy company. You see Michael came here too, never expecting to start a new business but rather to work for one that is still struggling to get off the ground. We all prayed yesterday at Mass for Michael C. and within the next few weeks Father Larry and myself will be offer a blessing at the official opening of the business.
Our chapel might be small but our outreach is indeed large. Our websitge is viewed all over the world and people come to the site and place their prayers in the "light a candle" section. I never hear back the results of their petitions but I am going to put a reminder in the website asking them to let us know the outcome of their prayers. My gut tells me there are little miracles happening as a result of the website.
Till the next time. May God watch over you and keep you and yours well.
Father John Joseph
