I call my Miracle from Mary, the Virgin Mother, for those who do not believe in what I believe or do not like my religion you can skip this part. I was praying to Saint Joseph, because will he has done such good for me for he is in my mind protecting me like the Child Jesus and protecting me like he did to his spouse the Virgin Mother. After I finished praying I went to Mary and began to pray to her. I like to come early to mass because there are not that many people when I come and so I am able to speak a little louder, I find that if I speak my prayers out loud I think it helps my mind from going to another place while praying. Anyways, I was prayinger and I said: "Mary, I wish to be a good wife and mother, I want to give a husband and myself a love and respect that I have never really seen until lately of what a marriage is. I want to give children that I and my husband create into this world the love and a mother that I never had." I stopped and said, "I am sorry Mary, I did have a mother, You!" I looked up and this statue of Our Lady had a what I call a Mona Lisa Smile, but as I looked up I watched it widen, I cried and said, "Thank you mother, I am glad you like my sense of humor and my ablity to notice my mistake so quickly." I giggled and I just looked at her like a child does to a mother. Wheither you believe that this happen or not is not for you to decide, it is I who believes it had and do not care how much crap I will get for this, I know Our Lady, Mary had given me a gift to see her.

Alright I finished that section now I wish to speak about how I have become a child magnet at Saint Patrick's. As all of you know I am not new to the Parish I am just new in the idea of me being a Baby Catholic in the Church. Well, many of the children like the two kids who were baptized with me on the Easter Vigil stick to me like glue, especially Matthew. At 13 years old he bonded a friendship that I have never been able to understand, but treasure. He will let me hold his hand like I would a small child and let me treat him like a child, but will confess his thoughts and opinions to me like he would to one of his close guy friends. On Sunday I went to the Parish library and saw the two Cheyenne and Matthew and when I asked if they had went to Mass, Matthew says: "We have, but I will go again with you." I have never met a child who wants to go back into the chapel to pray, and listen to mass a second time. He and his sister are leaving in the beginning of June to Denver and then come back for two weeks to visit their grandparents. They pretty much adopted me into their family.

Another child, is Abby who is four going on five. She has been always wanting to come near me and hug me and talk to me. Her family has adopted me into their family as well. Abby, likes my hugs and likes to sit in the pew behind me and try to whisper to me. I love that child, she likes to pray with her mom a lot. She is also one of the ones who created the non-offical "We Love Father Peter OP" club. Which gets me to the group of children that have devoted themselves to being around me.

Marian who goes to RCIA just because she likes to learn about the sacraments and the her faith is a mother of five. Two of the five, Grace (her eldest) and Mary (her youngest) like to devote themselves around me. Grace who is I believe ten or eleven always comes up to me and says, "Nikita you need to baby-sit us." She will automatically take my hand even when I first met her and she will even tease her mother and say, "Mom I want Nikita to be my Mom too" biggrin It is silly and she likes to search for me and tag along everywhere I go. Then there is Mary, oh Mary that child is a riot....I want to re-account the event of Sunday. Mary, since the beginning of meeting me will choose me over a lot of people from picking her up; she even comes straight to me and lifts her arms to literally say with her body "Pick me up" she has even told her mother "I do not want you to hold me I want her to pick me up". Alright so what happen that makes me laugh so much is I had her in my arms while I had Grace tugging me and Matthew talking to me. Father Peter OP came up towards us and was talking to Marian and then he turned and noticed Grace, Matthew, and then me holding Mary and he says, "You are not allow to do that." And I retorted, "Are you jealous Father?" He said, "No" and then opened his arms to get Mary and Mary looked at him and then looked at me and then the most amazing funny thing happened, she tucked her head into my neck and tighten her hold on me. Father Peter looked like he was rejected and his face was priceless, with his mouth open and his eyes wide. I laughed and said, "Are you jealous now?" He did not answer but he take her coat and try to coax her then and that did not work either. It was funny as ever!!! Marian was laughing about this.

Yesterday (Sunday) I was at Saint Patrick's Church for a long time because we went to Divine Mercy hour with a group of Sister from Sister Faustina's Order. Grandma Bea (Matthew and Cheyenne's grandmother) brought me a bracelet rosary and so my rosary I got from Joel and the bracelet rosary became third-class relics because the Sister brought a first-class relic, which was a bone of Saint Faustina. I was so excited now with me today I have two sets of relics one, Pope John Paul II and the other Saint Faustina and then one bless item by Father LaCasse OP. YAY! Now I still need my crutifx for my neck...hopefully before Camille leaves I will have one and a medal of Saint Maria Goretti.

Alright I know this sounds funny but I need to make a list and I must put it up here cause I just think it will be great. But, before Matthew and Cheyenne leave Grandma Bea and Grandpa Dave are wanting to take them places and so I said I would help out list the places to go and be a tour guide and everything biggrin What fun this will be!!!

I will be having my first confession on Wednesday, a little nervous.
