Stories show us how to live, and in her writing, Nora Gallagher does just that. Here's a link to a book that is proof that "the road to the sacred is paved with the ordinary"--precisely what I try to point to in all my writing.

Things Seen and Unseen: A Year Lived in Faith Nora Gallagher

So, I recommend this little tale of faith about which Booklist says, "Gallagher's account is more than that of a woman rediscovering faith in God. It is also a glimpse into a sort of practical mysticism."

On this Palm Sunday, I invite you to open wide the gate of your heart and welcome the Mystery, Who comes in such ordinary ways that others are quite likely to miss or dismiss Him.
