After discerning our vocations and praying to God for a future spouse, we knew THE ONE would be a person willing to journey by our side towards Jesus. We both have been praying for each other and felt called in a special way to ask for the intercession of Our Blessed Mother Mary. Simultaneously, we prayed a novena that ended on the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13th. With parishes closed, stay-at-home orders in place, and a friend who didn't give up on introducing us, God answered our prayers and two weeks later we had our first phone date. "And this is the confidence which we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us." 1 John 5:14
