Memorare

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Star Magnolia

Among the very first signs of spring is the beautiful star magnolia. The branches are stark and bare ...but from them blooms a magnificent flower ...pure white, like a star. I've always been so happy when I see the beginning of it's bloom. It's a promise of what is to come ...even when the branches are so bare, seemingly without hope, without life.
I hope that even in a small way, we can bloom again ....one day.

Eternal rest grant unto Phoebe and may perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen
