Oh my...what a beautiful story, thank you for posting it..it just made me cry...In light of this story, I want to share something that happened to my mother very early this Christmas morning...my mother (who is a very devout Christian woman), is very ill with end stage heart failure. We know that she doesn’t have much time left with us here on earth. She told me that she was awakened about 4:00 a.m. on Sunday morning by a beautiful young woman standing by her bed. The woman was holding a baby boy about a year or so old. The woman smiled at mom and held the baby out for mom to take. Mom reached out to take the baby, and both the woman and the baby disappeared...I know that mom saw Our Lady and the Christ Child.
That is a very beautiful story too. We all know who the Mother and Child were...your mother is very blessed.
