May 10th - Our Lady Star of the Sea
Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church Solomons, Maryland Dear OLSS Parishioners, As Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ, is the Patroness of our parish, it seems particularly significant as we honor our own mother's this weekend. I thought I'd share this bit of motherly wisdom that was shared with me. Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong. She's failing Algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away. Meanwhile her mother is baking a cake and asks her if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake." "Here, have some cooking oil" Mom offers. "Yuck" says the daughter. "How about a couple of raw eggs?"..."Gross Mom"...Would you like some baking soda?"..."Mom, those are all Yucky!" "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves, but when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!" God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and they will all make something wonderful. THANKS MOMS FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND WISE ADVICE AND DIRECTIONS! REMINDERS: Mom’s Day Breakfast– This Sunday after 8 a.m. Mass.
