Creation of Our Lady Magazine

"Several years ago, I was at a store, and I felt like I was getting blasted with worldly things, such as at the checkout counter.  For example, many have become numb and desensitized to the common topics and pictures splayed the magazines….”This is our world I thought, this is normal, this is the way of the world, and this is not the way of God”. I prayed to the Lord, and in my sincere desire in seeking out to see the world as God would want it, I saw what the ideal for a magazine and for anything in this world as it should be and that we should live by. I wanted to represent that in a magazine cover. To live the faith these days is to be countercultural, and we need to be firmly anchored in Christ so that we do not get swept away in the ever-changing ways of the world."
