There is a hidden place within us where every action begins—not in our hands, not even in our words, but in the quiet chamber of intention. The saints remind us that purity of intention is what frees us to forget ourselves, to seek first the glory of God, and to trust that whatever we surrender in love becomes, mysteriously, our blessing.

I’ve been sitting with Rumi’s words that attracted me a few months ago:

The most nourishing things in our lives are almost always the most organic—the moments that rise up unmanufactured, unoptimized, uncurated. They meet us where our souls are actually hungry.

Through this journey of life, I am learning that my emotions are not interruptions but my body’s way of responding to life. They are signals that give rise to draw me toward what I care about and the people I need.

I couldn’t let the day go by without honoring the Immaculate Heart of The Blessed Virgin Mary so you shall have two reflections today! In this remembrance, we honor a woman who had a visceral relationship with Jesus, through birth, miracles, death and resurrection. She kept all these things in her heart and let them be.
