Mornings with Mary: Basilica & National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation

A friend from my parish allowed me to
use her photo of a church she visited
in Corey, Ohio.
It's the Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation.
I find this shrine breathtaking!
I admire Lisa for her talents;
she's an artist, singer, musician, teacher
and not least of all, a great Catholic wife and mother!
Thank you, Lisa, for allowing me to
share this exquisite shrine
with others.

  1. Our Lady of Consolation. I like that name very much and she is beautiful--and there she is, right in the heartland of America. Thank you for sharing her.

  2. Wow Nonnie. This is a breathtaking shrine. I enlarged it to see it better. I can imagine it is even more beautiful in person. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Mary with an empty lap...
    and the words,
    yes, no one understands sorrow
    more than She.
