Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

Mother of Divine Grace, Pray for us

.

I'm off today, traveling to visit with my grandma. She's 93 years old this year and she's looking forward to visiting with Peach. Peach is looking forward to visiting with her, too, which does my heart good. We'll have four generations of our family together -- my grandma, my mother, me and Peach. I hope that you also have a beautiful day.

"Mary has truly become the Mother of all believers. Men and women of every time and place have recourse to her motherly kindness and her virginal purity and grace, in all their needs and aspirations, their joys and sorrows, their moments of loneliness and their common endeavors. … Mary, Virgin and Mother, shows us what love is and whence it draws its origin and its constantly renewed power." Pope Benedict XVI

  3. That sounds like a lovely day!
    I too am going to visit family today. My third-youngest cousin is making her first communion so we are all going to Pittsburgh to celebrate. I can't wait to see everyone, especially my godson! He's growing so fast!

  4. It was wonderful, Margaret. I failed, however, to take a real picture. I only have a mental one.

    Thanks, Sarah.
