Accidental Grace

Definition of grace

  1.  a :  unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification
     b :  love and mercy coming from God
     c :  a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine assistance
    d :   the amazing small business owner of www.SacredHeartGiftsandApparel.com


    Yesterday it happened that I accidentally misplaced my rosary.   Cindy mentioned a Catholic gift shop that she passes by on a new route to work (yes, she is still working even though it is mid July)  and off we went hoping for a replacement.  

    We received so much more.  Grace Pietrosanti, the owner of Sacred Heart Gifts and Apparel in Mahopac, NY is an exuberant, vibrant woman of faith who not only helped me locate a possible replacement rosary but sent us to a local gem - a prayer garden- located across the street from St. John the Evangelist RCC in Mahopac.  What a winner (both Grace and the prayer garden).  We plan to return to both locales many times.  

    Best of all, after leaving Grace and arriving to the garden, Cindy located my rosary which had fallen between the seats.  

    A grace filled day on so many levels.
