For years we asked God for a child. We attended Mass, joined prayer groups, and sometimes struggled to hope. Friends in the parish never stopped praying with us.
When our daughter was born, we brought her to Mater Misericordiae for Baptism with tears of joy. The community that waited with us celebrated with us.
Not every prayer is answered the way we imagine. Ours was. We share it so couples who wait know they are seen — by God and by this parish.
