Finding Peace in Pondering Prayer

Have you ever wondered, "Why me Lord?" Have you ever thought, "Why is this happening to me?" 

Sometimes it is so hard to stand in our suffering and confusion and see any rhyme or reason. In those moments, look to the one woman who suffered the most and yet responded with the purest faith and the most ultimate courage, and follow her lead—hold those moments in your heart (Luke 2:51).

When life confronts you with what appears to be obscure events, take them to your heart and ponder, "What does this mean in light of God's will for me?" That's what Our Lady did, even in her greatest suffering, and from it arose the greatest joy —being with Him forever in heaven!
