Liveloud was truly an awe-inspiring event, and much of my awe had to do with how the Lord revealed His love to me through the family. Even though my own couldn’t be there, I still felt embraced with a fraternal love. I was affirmed evermore how we, the community, the church, and all of our own families, are one family in God and it was that truth that led to my joy overflowing at Liveloud.
It was incredible to see parents with their children, sisters from the Missionaries of Charity, brothers and sisters from the Archdiocese, Couples for Christ, Handmaids, Singles for Christ, CFC-Youth, and even Kids for Christ raising their hands and praising God, all 1,500 of them! I heard from a few individuals how they saw their parents raising their hands and singing. It was a bit weird for them but they were extremely happy seeing their parents praising God. How wonderful it is when families worship together. What a gift!
This event was truly a gift from God not just to our community, but to His entire church, and might I say, the entire world. This first Liveloud in BC, blessed by our shepherd, Archbishop Miller, was only the beginning and a taste of what the Lord has in store for all of us.
Now, for me, there were many highlights, but the greatest one was witnessing my fiancé honour our Blessed Mother by singing the Hail Mary prayer. My heart was utterly wrapped in the love of God in that moment and I couldn’t help but smile and feel affirmed of the Lord’s will in my life.
Here’s a clip of “Hail Mary” being sung by the whole band:

I look forward to what the Lord has in store for me and my future family, and His entire family! God is good!
Thank You, Jesus and Mama Mary. I’m just so grateful.
May we always be attuned to His still small voice in the silence of our hearts, so that we may be inspired by the Holy Spirit to love loudly for love of Him.
Ave Maris Stella! God be praised!
