In this month of the Holy Rosary
“Therefore, the Rosary, with its constant rhythm of 10, 50, 100 and 200 Hail Marys, is the prayer which best expresses this union with Mary, which better than every other places one in direct communion with Her in the contemplation of the Incarnation (joyful mysteries), of Revelation (luminous mysteries), of Redemption (sorrowful mysteries), of Glorification (glorious mysteries). This direct communion with Her, aligned with the rhythms of the Hail Mary, exactly constitutes that precious work of assimilation to Her, as St. Maximilian also teaches when he says: Converse often with Her and you will be transformed into Her (SK 1367).”

Awwwwwwww…..for your mama's picture!!
Are you feeling hormonal today, posting pictures of your mama? I've been crying about every hour for no reason. I think I need sleep.
I am not a Catholic, and therefore had absolutely no idea that this was the month of the Holy Rosary. However, if you want to check out my blog, I have had some amazing things happen in the past few days regarding the Rosary and the Catholic faith. Thank you for posting that, because it was another sign for me of something God is wanting me to take notice of.
Hi Margaret, your mom's picture is so sweet. What a happy lady!
Oh Margaret, what a beautiful picture. My mom is soon to be 95 and my dad,87. She has Alzheimer's and is slowly fading away from us. Your picture reminded me of her, how she used to be. Thank you for sharing them. You are so blessed.
