I just had to share my Mass experience from this morning, but before I do, I think an update is in order. On Wednesday evening, I took Emma to her Little Flowers group, and a friend of mine who is a naturopath, sent her husband to bring me a supplement by Shaklee called Stress-Relief. I took one when we got home, and by bedtime, I felt so much calmer and more peaceful. Since then, I have had no more urges to smash anything, and have only teared up a couple times. No more outright sobbing, which has been nice. I've also been really wanting some way to be able to show and celebrate all 5 of our children, not just the 2 you can see, or normally just 1 that you can see. So, I made myself a bracelet. I'm calling it my Catholic Mother's bracelet. Everyone has their own birthstone and a saint medal. So, anyway, Mass this morning. It was one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had. Just after Mass started this morning, I felt the presence of all 3 of my saints so strongly, that I could almost see them in the pew next to me. It felt like they were all about the size of 4 or 5 year olds. They stayed beside me (and at one point, it felt like one of them was even on my lap) until the Consecration, when I felt them leave my side suddenly to be closer to Jesus in the Eucharist. Needless to say, I then went to an intense feeling of Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist. I always know that Jesus is truly present, but today I felt it in my soul. Of course, I had tears in my eyes, or rolling down my cheeks for most of Mass today, just because of the intensity, but it was so very beautiful, and I'm so very thankful to God for allowing me a visit from my saintly children.

Thanks! Yep, I converted almost 6 years ago. I can easily teach you to make one, or I can make 1 for you. The most expensive part is the medals. Audrey is a very rarely requested saint apparently, so that one alone was like $45. Lol
