In Maria’s Own Words…..Her Words of Inspiration

HOPE begins with thoughts…

In March of 2020- 14 months into her diagnosis Maria journaled:

“It’s okay to worry but most things we worry about won’t happen or are out of our control.

Real problem: worry takes us out of the moment; separating us from God. Make sure to be in the moment when receiving the Eucharist.”

~Maria E. Middleton

“I can never forget how I feel now.

I have had to put complete surrender and trust in God.”
