Work took me to the Hartford area on Tuesday and my faith took me to Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Unionville. Now, if you’re familiar with Unionville, Connecticut, and I assume you are, you’re probably wondering why a church that’s nowhere near the sea, or even the Sound, is named Star of the Sea. And, per the church’s website, I can report that they’re not totally sure.
A funny thing happened on the way to Mass. I plugged the church’s address into my phone and was dutifully following the directions. As I neared the church, I came upon a car bearing a bumper sticker urging me to Pray the Rosary and I casually wondered if this vehicle was going to the same place I was.
When the SUV pulled into the left turn lane, I quickly assumed otherwise. But something forced me to look down at the map on my phone, where I discovered that a left turn was, in fact, called for, despite the usually nice lady inside it opting not to share that information with me.
So I jumped in the left lane and was led directly to the church, proving once again that if you truly want proper direction in your life, the Rosary is a much better option than modern technology.
