May 22, 1955


Dear Diary,

This morning, Sister Mary Claire and I cut through the cornfield to go to church. It's amazing how fast the corn grows with all the moisture and good weather we've been having. The fields look so green and vibrant, a testament to the blessings we have here.

Father LeRoy gave a beautiful homily about the gift of knowledge. He explained that through this gift, the Holy Spirit imparts to us a supernatural light, helping us see the absolute nothingness and harmful effects of what the world loves and admires. As I looked around at our surroundings, I felt grateful for the simple and beautiful life we live here. The fields, the sky, and the church all remind me of the goodness of God and the blessings we receive daily.

I am thankful for this little spot of earth where Sister Mary Claire and I have been planted. It's a place where we can grow in faith and love, giving our hearts fully to Jesus. In the evening, we gathered in the Inner Court prayer wagon to end our day in prayer and reflection.

Evening Prayer

Dear Jesus, thank You for this beautiful place where we live. Thank You for the growing cornfields, the fresh air, and the peaceful surroundings. I am grateful for Sister Mary Claire and all the wonderful people in our neighborhood. Help us to always give our hearts fully to You and to live in a way that glorifies Your name. Amen.

This day has been filled with reminders of God's love and the beauty of His creation. I am truly blessed to be here.
