Dear Diary,

Today, I thought deeply about the preciousness of life, even from the very beginning. Father LeRoy mentioned something during his homily that reminded me of the words of G.K. Chesterton—how each soul, even the smallest, is a unique reflection of God's love. Every moment of life, from conception onward, holds infinite value.

As I fed my brown hen and gathered the eggs for the Breakfast Club, I found myself in quiet reflection. Each egg, small and fragile, is filled with potential, just like us. The tiny lives around me remind me of the wonder God places in all His creations.

Mini was by my side again, watching with her gentle eyes, and it brought me peace to know that she, too, is a gift of God’s creation. In moments like these, I am filled with gratitude for the blessings of life, family, and faith. Sister Mary Claire braided my hair again this evening, and as she worked, she softly sang a hymn to Mary. It was so soothing that I felt the love and care she put into each braid—just like God’s love that wraps us all in His protection.

I pray that I will always remember the value of life, both in myself and in others, and dedicate each day to living "All for Jesus."

O Mary of Grace, Mother of God, watch over me and guide me as I walk the paths of righteousness.

Love, Kathy
