Today is Mama Mary's birthday. I think attending the book launch of a Marian anthology is a fitting tribute to one of my favorite intercessors. I was invited by my boyfriend A to this event. He was a Reuter Baby and he badly wanted to be in this book launch, but he has work. So I gladly took the invite and represented him in this esteemed event. I purchased a couple of copies for us both. They were signed by the authors, who were also Reuter Babies like him. There was a snack buffet and awesome coffee from Commune, which is one of my favorite third wave cafes. The launch renewed my faith in God and in Mama Mary's intercession. The book features testimonies from the faithful, and they were done with Fr. Reuter in mind. It is truly amazing how the late Fr. Reuter can still inspire his followers even beyond his death. It is also noteworthy to add that this is already the fifth book in his collection. It is also a meaningful way to promote Marian devotion especially to those who were not able to meet Fr. Reuter when he was still alive.
I feel fortunate to have attended this event and it has indeed reinforced my faith which was recently challenged by factors beyond my control. I look forward to reading this book and to even submit my testimony to the authors someday!
