Woah!!! You wouldn’t believe what just happened! I am freaking out here in Phoenix!
I just checked my gmail account and saw this email with the address of “Va.” When I opened it up, it was an email from Pope Francis himself telling me how much he enjoys my blog series – “Mondays with Mary.” He said he has been reading the posts for the past 4 months. He said that he loves my passion for the Blessed Mother and that I should think about writing a book with the blog posts. He said my most creative blog post on Mary was the Immaculate Conception – Explained since it was in the style of St. Thomas Aquinas.
He said if people are not following my blog, they are missing out! Pretty sweet, huh?!
This made my whole day which happens to be April 1. This was an April Fools Joke – a tradition here in the USA on April 1.
