Hail Mary

Friday, June 25, 2021

Last night I went to my bible study and ran out of time and energy to blog.

Yesterday was a big day.

My sweet great aunt Mary, my grandpa Lee's only sister, passed away.

I spent yesterday afternoon with my mom and my great uncle Jim who is my great aunt's husband.

Death is never easy.

But with death there comes life.

Eternal life!

Life that we all want to live for!

"Our most important work is turning to God a hundred times a day, This is true devotion and perfects everything we do." St. Francis de Sales

My great aunt Mary loved the rosary.

I can imagine the Blessed Mother welcoming her into Paradise!

And yesterday was St. John the Baptist's birthday!

John's parents were Zechariah and Elizabeth.

The Lord used all three of them to prepare the way.

He wants us to prepare our hearts.

He wants us to proclaim the good news!

There is life after death!

Let us rejoice and be glad!

Prepare our hearts for life eternal, Lord!

Holy Mother of God, pray for us!

Hail Mary

Hail, Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
