A Motherless Child

This January, the old spiritual Sometimes I feel Like a Motherless Child came to mind. The timing was not coincidental. My mother passed away in January of last year. I missed her then, but this year felt different. I felt like a motherless child, which felt like a wound. Then, two weeks later, something unexpected happened. The Virgin Mary spoke to me. If you don’t mind me talking about Our Mother Mary, here’s what happened.
