Collecting Moments: May this new home be welcoming

Emily Clark shared a reflection on the Diocese of Bridgeport website about her daughter Abigail's move into a first apartment in New York City. After graduating last spring and commuting long hours to her job, Abigail secured a third floor walk-up to live with a roommate.

Clark described the challenges of the apartment search, noting that many available units were taken quickly by other renters. During the process, Clark prayed to St. Joseph for the new home to be welcoming, safe, peaceful, and clean, while also asking for the intercession of Mary. She included a passage from Proverbs to illustrate the wisdom and understanding required to build and establish a home.
