Pope John Paul II

In light of Mary, the Church sees in the face of women the reflection of a beauty which mirrors the loftiest sentiments of which the human heart is capable; the self-offering totality of love; the strength that is capable of bearing the great sorrows; limitless fidelity and tireless devotion to work; the ability to combine penetrating intuition with words of support and encouragement.

Long Two Weeks

The tulips are gone.  The daffodils have passed.  And for two weeks we've had nothing but thunderstorms, hail and rain.  Now is the time to get into the soil and do some rejuvenation!  Not just for the plants but for the soul as well.  Working in the glory of the sunshine,  thanking God for it since is has been so long away, that's what I will be doing today.   I'm also going to, inthis quiet, take stock of my eternal garden.  There are sure a lot of weeds there.  For tomorrow's forecast is for more clouds and rain.   I wish you all a glorious sunshine day.  Please soak up some of that natural Vitamin D and give your soul a hearty dose of the eternal sunshine by communing with the Triune God.
