Oración

Updated: Apr 14, 2022


You tell me, “si rezas, Dios te escucha,” but I only believe in you, Mamá, because weren’t you God to me?

Weren’t you God when, with each unsteady step and fall, you’d lift me until I learned to walk on my own?

Each broken vein a bruise. Each scratch, or scrap a scab, and then a scar—the scars that are my witnesses of your miracles, and your grace.
