Miraculous Ordinary Days

As we begin “Ordinary Time” in the Church year today, I’m reminded of a question one of the sixth grade students at Maumee, St. Joseph asked last week of four of us on a vocation panel: “Have you ever experienced any miracles?”  Each of us responded by talking about the miracle of each day of our lives – the care of our loving God, the amazing relationships we’ve witnessed in others, and most especially the Eucharist.

There are so many miracles surrounding us if we only open our eyes and hearts and take them in.  Considering the awesome and unbelievable love our God has  for us, I’m not sure it’s possible to actually have an “ordinary” day!  Our faith draws us into a world filled with daily miracles.

What miracle have you experienced in the last 24 hours?
