Vivo con #valentiacreativa.

Durante la pandemia me di cuenta que  es muy fácil atender misa o rezar El Rosario en cualquier Parte del mundo, gracias a la Internet.  ¡Jesus está en todas partes y yo puedo estar con el!
Durante la pandemia hice un altar para estar más relajada y concentrarme en mis oraciones, devociones , participar en  misa, y rezar a Jesús y María. Esto me hizo sentir más cerca de Jesús.
Descubrí el radio del Vaticano en Español, me convertí en fanática, me encanta porque lo puedo escuchar camino al trabajo no solo aprendo, rezo sino que escucho las noticias del mundo entero con una perspectiva Cristiana y una actitud positiva

From Mali:
To pray at home, I created a space that helps me to calm down and encounter Jesus in a more intimate manner. It was very easy to attend mass or pray the rosary online - anywhere in the world! Jesus is everywhere - and I can go with him.
During the pandemic I made a special place in my living room where I was able to pray and virtually hear mass. A place that is quiet and helped me get away in order to concentrate  in my devotions,  and prayers to Mary and Jesús
I also became a fan of the Vatican radio station in Spanish. On my commute to work I have been listening to their programs. I pray, learn and know what is going on around the world with a catholic perspective . It has helped me to be less anxious and upset about problems because they radiate a positive Christian attitude.

We pray with #creativecourage -

Our faith has gotten stronger during Covid for an unusual reason.  I (Dave) was an airline pilot so Lynn and I spent a lot of time away from each other.  Although I live in St Louis, I was based in Dallas.  I was away from home 18 days a month.  While working I would attend mass at our parish in Dallas or wherever I was laying over while on a trip.  I prayed the Rosary in cruise enroute to my destination.  I retired early due to the pandemic, and now we can attend mass together every week and pray the Rosary when we walk Abby (the world’s best dog!)

The day our church closed because of COVID, I posted on Facebook that I wanted to start a group to walk and praying the rosary in Queeny Park, and so many women from the parish agreed that we began the very next day.  There were about 12 women all together and generally 5-6 met and prayed every day, out loud, while walking, socially distant, of course! We prayed novenas, prayer intentions, and the rosary and divine mercy chaplet.  Prayer, exercise, and social interaction helped face the isolation.

Over the past year, I traded TV, news, and social media last October for Catholic radio, reading spiritual books, New Mercies, Formed, EWTN, Catholic YouTube series, and started volunteering twice per week in the office at Covenant Network (Catholic radio) and have been to Confession a few times. Honestly I feel joyful and fearless, as if I have on the armor of God. I've learned so much, we are praying more as a family, and don't think my faith has ever been stronger.
