Handmaids IV

One soul.  The power of one soul.
We are praying for a miracle ...the miracle is in our midst.  One soul.  Sophie's passion is for one soul ...at a time.
Her one soul, convicted by God's truth, is moving mountains.
One soul, one lost, lonely, proud, greedy, selfish (you name the sin) is why Christ died on the Cross.
To save one soul.  He died for just me ...just you ...just your enemy ...just one soul.  He died for all of us, but just each of us too!
Sophie is one soul ...but a soul driven by her passion to love and serve God and bring every other soul closer to or returned to God.
And that is the passion of one soul, the power of one soul.

Imagine a bunch of teenage girls, different groups, bumping into each other at a local Panera, miles away from the town Sophie lives, spreading the word there is Mass tomorrow for Sophie before school.  "I'll be there, I'll let everyone know!"
Imagine people who've never held a set of beads, pray the rosary for the first time, unafraid of not knowing how to.
Imagine people, away from God, witnessing men, women and children praising God, sad but joyful, knowing Sophie is a witness to Him
Imagine an ardent atheist, joining hands and pleading to our Heavenly Father for Sophie.
Imagine people, unaware, woken for the first time to learn of Our Lady of Guadalupe and her protection of the unborn.
Imagine someone, cynical about large Catholic families, witness nine children leading and praying the rosary, all of them like any other kid from any other family ...except for faith.
Imagine a home filled with shoes and backpacks, sporting equipment ...and a priest in a corner hearing confessions
Imagine ...what one soul ...has done!
Here is the miracle.  No matter what happens ...the miracle has happened.  One soul has grown faith beyond measure.
One soul has set an example for each one of us.  One soul ...that's all it takes to move mountains, to bring others back to God!

On this great feast of the silent Saint Joseph,  may we pray for his intercession.

Please pray!
