El Santuario de Chimayo

"Let nothing disturb you.
 Let nothing frighten you.
 All things pass.
 God does not change.
 Patience achieves everything.
 Whoever has God lacks nothing.
 God alone suffices."

 Saint Teresa of Avila

 This is a place of miracles.   

This is a place of prayer.  

I have been here at least three times and each time I get the same feeling.   It's overwhelming.   An abundant sense of peace and grace settles around you as delicate as gossamer webs.  

It's like God enters into you through an orifice you know nothing about.   And He makes himself at home in your heart.

You know this because, all of a sudden, your heart feels ten times larger.   You feel it swell inside you.  Like it will burst with a power...a spirit....too bold to keep inside.  And not understanding why, your tears fall, as if flushing out the evil, the baneful, the poison.   This must be the purpose for which you were drawn to Chimayo.

All feels right here.   In this sacred place.   

May all your blessings grow from prayer and glorify your life.
