Our Lady of Mercy

This morning I had some Lay Dominican business to attend to in East Greenwich, RI.  I was meeting with the newly elected Treasurer and President to turn over my account books.  The time was 9:30 AM.  I was nervous because I hate to drive.  I hate to drive to unfamiliar places.  I hate to drive in traffic.  I hate highways.

Needless to say, I prayed my rosary as I drove.  Another worry is that I don't trust GPS. One time when I was going over the Jamestown Bridge, the GPS told me to turn right, here.  Another time I came to a dead-end street facing woods.  The GPS told me that I had arrived at my destination.

But I arrived safe and sound with time to spare.  However, my destination was across the street.  So I took a side street to turn around in.  As soon as I turned, I saw a beautiful church, Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church.  

Guess what the name of my Lay Dominican fraternity.  Our Lady of Mercy.

Of course, I had to go in to thank Our Lady of Mercy.  I also asked Jesus to bless our meeting and he did.

I love it when God does this.
