Im still trying to sink in how all this came to be. Yesturday made it even more unrealistic yet surreal and assurance that I should share about it... So my mom kept bugging me about finding a retreat back in early July. In my town there was nothing going on for a while so I told myself I love driving so Im going to find anything here in California no matter the distance so shell stop bugging me. Was the summer and I wanted to get away anyway. I lost track of how many churches from L.A up to San Fransisco I called. Some retreats werent till the fall, others were for certain ages and people that I didnt fit my category. Then I end up with one in Vislia, 2.7 hours from me, 30 mins from Fresno. As I was getting the info about the retreat, I felt like asking the secretery out of nower about Fresno. She rite away mentioned a retreat that she had heard about in this old church in Fresno, Our Lady of Monte Carmelo. She strongly encouraged me to go, and it fit perfectly with what I was looking for so I did. Showed my mom a picture we had taken at the retreat. And she said, that place looks so familiar. TURNS OUT that out of the roughly 400 catholic churches in California, I ended up going to the only one,out of nearly 10 churches in Fresno, that my parents attended for years when they use to live in Fresno... I went went back to mass this Sunday there. As I was entering mass on Monday at my church just BLOCKS away from where I live and hours away from Monte Carmelo, the same priest in charge over at Monte Carmelo who gave mass on Sunday TURNS OUT to celebrate mass as a simple invite here...Unbelievable things like these I sometimes may wrongly view as only coincidences are what allows me and us to believe and keep being greatful that we are allowed to expierence. Thank you God and Fresno. No es casualidad es obra de Dios, Y todo Lo a hecho con amor. Luke 10:31, Jesus said, “And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side.” Yessica Palomera Justin Palomera Luis Alberto Silva Jose Cortez
