Mornings with Mary

This lovely statue was my mother's.

It was a gift from her sister-in-law,

it's a Hummel figurine.  Sometime or another

Mary's hand was broken off, probably by a cat

because my parents always had one

after they bought their home.

I, in turn, gave it to my daughter because

she cherishes the fact that it belonged to her grandmother. 

Quotography: Mother Teresa Quote

 “Be faithful in small things 

because it is in them that your strength lies.”

~Mother Teresa~

In some people's lives,
baptism seems to be such
a minor event that it is
deemed not necessary.
But in the minds of believers,
it sets one on the right path to eternity.

Farewell

This weekend, our parish bids farewell

to two people who have been

an integral part of our  spiritual lives,

Deacon Gary and his wife Carol.

Moving to help one of their 

precious daughters, we in turn,

wish them sad good-bys

and best wishes for this 

new chapter in their lives.

We will miss you.

a small gift of our
appreciation and love
we have for these two 

Praying for Boston Tragedy

Praying for all the injured
of the Boston Marathon
and their families
that the light of Christ
and the consoling of His Mother
bring comfort to them.
 

Quotography: Flowers

"Consider the lilies, how they grow:
they neither toil nor spin;
but I tell you,
not even Solomon in all his glory
clothed himself like one of these."
~Luke 12:27~

Prayer for Pope Francis

When I received the May
issue of Magnificat,
I was pleasantly surprised
to see a prayer card
with Pope Francis
on the front and a prayer
on the back side was
included.

May God the Father,
God the Son,
and God the Holy Spirit
assist Pope Francis
in his guidance of the Church.

ABC Wednesday: Miniature

These are regular-sized daffodils. 
Below are the mini-size daffodils.
Both bring a shot of cheer to my spirit!

Miniature gems
bring renewal to my faith,
belief in rebirth.
