Mornings with Mary ~ Week 2

Last week I was watching a movie about Blessed John Paul II and this image scrolled across the screen.  I had to pause the movie, grab my iPhone and snap a photo of it.  I was enthralled.  I had no idea who created this lovely image, or where I could find out more.  

This is the image panned out.  Finally it dawned on me to Google "Par Marie A Jesus", which means "Through Mary to Jesus".

I came across this website where you can see all of the other beautiful images of The Basilica of the Rosary.  

It really is a site to behold.  

Mother Mary and Her rosary call to me, even when I least expect it.

This image seems so peaceful and serene to me. 

 

Our Lady,  fill me with peace today as I go about my way trying to accomplish the various things required of me.  Some days, like today, life seems so very hectic.  Wrap me in your mantle, place your hands upon mine, and whisper in my ear....

Virgin A Day - Day 7

 

 

 

Prayer to the Mother of Goodness, Love and Mercy

O Mother, of Goodness, Love and Mercy,
I immensely love you and offer myself to you.
Through your goodness, love and mercy save me.
I want to be yours.
I love you endlessly and want you to keep me.
From my heart I beseech you, Mother of Goodness.
Give me your goodness that I may deserve heaven by it.
I ask you for your immense love to give me the grace that I may love everybody as you loved Jesus Christ.
And I ask you for the Grace that I may be gracious to you
I offer myself completely to you and want you to be with me at every step.
For you are full of grace.
Let me never lose God's grace:
And if I should,
Help me.
Amen

Virgin A Day - Day 6

Ave Maria Grotto

 

One year my sons and I were on our way from Memphis Tennessee to Destin Florida and managed to somehow end up in Culman Alabama where the Ave Maria Grotto is. We often took long cross country drives and would stop by in interesting places along the way. We have come across many gems doing so.  This was no exception.   Brother Joseph Zoettl created this amazing site during his many years serving as a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard Abbey.

 

The above grotto is one of my favorites, because it does depcit the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child.  There are so many other great creations you really should click the link above and visit their page, and see it in person if ever you are that way.  It's been six years since we were there, I would love to see it again someday. 

 

Today's post is linked up with recuerda mi corazon.  Please visit there also to see more images of the Blessed Virgin.  

 

 



 

 

Virgin A Day - Day 5

 

PRAYER TO MARY, QUEEN OF THE HOME

O Blessed Virgin Mary, you are the mother and queen of every Christian family.  When you conceived and gave birth to Jesus, human motherhood reached its greatest achievement.  From the time of the Annunciation you were the living chalice of the Son of God made man. You are the queen of the home.  As a woman of faith, you inspire all mothers to transmit faith to their children. Watch over our families.  Let children learn free and loving obedience inspired by your obedience to God. Let parents learn dedication and selflessness based on your unselfish attitude.  Let all families honor you and remain devoted to you so that they may be held together by your example and your intercession.

Amen.

 

Let us offer to Our Mother today:

The effort of doing our ordinary work well,

on time, with competence and finesse.
