Kathryn... God has the answer before you've asked the question. This is what I learned throughout the course of my vocation story towards, and now with, Guillermo. Long before I met Guillermo, so busy asking my "where is my husband?!" question, God was preparing us for one another. In the end, I didn't meet him because of my own efforts, but because God simply placed us in each other's paths. It was a Sunday morning. I drove to a parish I rarely attend, because a dear friend was celebrating his Mass of Thanksgiving. In short, I was simply living my daily life - attending Church and babysitting my nephew so that his parents could sing for the Mass. I noticed the handsome man sitting behind me, and made sure to be intentional when I turned around to offer him the sign of Peace. :) Following Mass, he began a conversation with me, during which I quickly learned we had many of the same shared areas of study and interest. The next week he took me on our first date. Over the course of those eight hours, I came to know that I would likely marry this man. Thank God, I am! Guillermo... I discerned religious life with the Jesuits, the CFRs, and the Little Brothers of the Lamb. After years of service and formation, I discerned that my path to heaven would be by way of the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. I prayed to the Lord that my heart would be captivated only by the beauty of holy virtue. On the morning of June 8th, 2025, I received in prayer that I would meet my wife at Mass on this day. What was one to make of such an interior motion? Was this voice my own, or was it the Lord's? I was captivated by Kathryn's subtle regal presence, and the tender motherly qualities expressed in the care of her nephew Theo. I introduced myself to Kathryn after Mass and soon realized she was the woman several people were trying to set me up with since moving to Phoenix three weeks prior. I kept hearing "You just have to meet Kathryn!" But I refused to be set up or to meet her. Funny how things work out. I saw her on that Pentecost Sunday and was so drawn to her. And after speaking with her, I was utterly captivated by the mystery of her. Over the next several months we got to know each other, I experienced healing, growth in holiness, and was inspired to grow into the full stature of man (who is Christ Himself). I felt unworthy of such a gift as her, not unlike every other gift and grace that comes from God. All that I had to offer was my poverty, and my whole self. But she looked upon me kindly and called me good, reflecting the loving, merciful gaze of our heavenly Father. And now my love of God and love of Kathryn have become one. I look forward to loving God through my faithful and devoted love of her for all my days.
