Antonia's Life, God's Miracle


Las circunstancias del nacimiento de María Antonia fueron desagradables. Ella misma contaba que nació tan flaca y amoratada que parecía asada a una parrillas. Su madre decía que había venido al mundo para una cosa muy grande pues sin una particular providencia del Señor no hubiera nacido con vida. Da la impresión que ya desde los inicios, la vida de Ma Antonia está marcada por dificultades y, a la vez, por pequeñas señales de esperanza.
 
La vida de Maria Antonia fue un milagro de Dios. Nuestra vida es un milagro de Dios. Que experiencias hemos vivido que nos hacen ver nuestra vida como un regalo de Dios?  Colleen Fulmer en su cancion Just To Be describe que somos una bendicion.
 

The circumstances of this birth were unpleasant. She narrates that she was born so thin and bruised that her body looked like it was roasted on a grill. Her mother would always say that Maria Antonia had come to this world with an imprtant mission, because without a particular providence from the Lord, she would not have been born alive. It seems that from the very start, Maria Antonia's life was marked by difficulties and, at the same time, signs of hope.

Our life is a miracle from God. Take some time and reflect on those moments when you discover God's grace an love guiding you through life's difficulties.

Lyrics:
JUST TO BE IS A BLESSING,
JUST TO LIVE IS HOLY.
JUST TO BE,
JUST TO LIVE IS A BLESSING  IS HOLY.

1. Be still and know I am God,
In quiet and trust lies your healing.
When you look, you'll find me with you.
When you look, you'll find me with you.

2. So beautiful wild flowers grow,
They don't spin, toil, or weave,
Yet their smile delights our God.
Yet their smile delights our God.

3. See all the birds of the sky
They don't gather into barns.
Yet our God cares for them.
Yet our God cares for them.

4. Asleep on her mother's breast
The child is content and weaned.
O my soul, trust in our God.
O my soul, trust in our God.
