Something to Leave Behind

Something to Leave Behind

My father died with a Miraculous Medal in his hand. I had put it there. I have thought about that moment almost every day since.

The Drawer and the Giving

The Drawer and the Giving

I have kept a small supply of Miraculous Medals in my kitchen drawer for years. I give them away when it seems right. It seems right more often than I expected.

In Silence, the Medal Speaks

In Silence, the Medal Speaks

I have prayed with words for most of my life. In the years since my son died, I have prayed mostly without them. The medal has been my prayer.

What This Small Thing Carries

What This Small Thing Carries

I have tried to explain the medal to people who do not wear one. I have not always succeeded. But I keep trying, because the explanation matters.

Mary kept all these things in her heart

- Luke 2:51
