Mother Mary


In the last 48 hrs. Mary, the mother of Jesus has "popped up"in my life. The youngest little person is Anna Maria DiMaggio here having a chat with Mary as the two stand in her family's garden. I found this picture in my friend, Darleen's, blog. Then in two separate women's faithsharing groups, two individuals urgently requested with a sigh, that the group pray a "Hail Mary". We fervently did so. I have had a sense too that Mary's presence and assistance is surely needed right about now. Within the Church there is a lot of disgruntle if not despair about leadership. Like a child who goes to her mother in an effort to understand Dad's laying down the law, maybe we are seeking Mary's maternal guidance during these days of wondering? where is Our Lord now? How many days til Pentecost?
