GOD is full of surprises!

"But as for me, the nearness of God

is my good; I have made the Lord God my

refuge, that I may tell of all Your works."

- Psalm 73:28

If we but open our eyes in faith, we'll see that our Lord is full of small, yet meaningful surprises.  It's true.

Just yesterday - 9/11/2023 (a historic date  for the USA!) - while this author was at the noon Mass in the Honolulu Cathedral, I noticed a small stain on the floor - reminded me of a large drop of dried blood or coffee - at the spot where I regularly sit.  I never noticed it before and I avoided being near it, not knowing what it actually was ... but when I knelt with my head down during the Consecration, I took another look and noticed something remarkable about it.

After the Mass, I snapped this pic of the stain ...

'not saying it's really Jesus or that it's a miracle ... but, coincidentally, I am an enthusiastic follower and promoter of the Holy Face Devotion, as seen here ... and here.  And why on 9/11?

It goes without saying, that the image really impressed me.

Personally, rare occasions like these - "spiritual serendipity", as I like to call them .... or "God Moments", as I've heard some others say - have a way of uplifting the soul, as well as, reminding us that our loving Jesus is never far from us!
