I began to pray the Rosary after a friend pointed out that Jesus performed his first miracle at the request of his mother. He began his public ministry at the Wedding Feast of Cana--because his mother asked him. She is a very powerful intercessor and an essential part of my faith.Right Said Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000769740954672341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-25267172343579425642008-12-08T21:26:00.000-05:002008-12-08T21:26:00.000-05:00AWOL, thanks for the great post.

As a convert, I'm only starting to scratch the surface of the beautiful relationship with Her. I love the naturalness of calling on a Mother as I go through a day.<BR/><BR/>And AWOL, good for you for hoofing it through the foggy cold to get a beeswax Jesus this morning to perfect your Advent wreath. We did coffee and donuts after Mass--almost as admirable. Thanks for reminding me to get the Advent wreath together. My kids got to the pink candle while I was unpacking other Christmas decor and it's gone missing sure enough. This Sunday's pink, right?Juris Materhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717212659724234395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-1337458494213891472008-12-08T16:34:00.000-05:002008-12-08T16:34:00.000-05:00I just love your thoughts in this post, AWOL!

Your words rang true in my head today while attending (surviving) Mass alone with all three boys. :)B-Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889509365971309400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-64138791337064141152008-12-08T09:23:00.000-05:002008-12-08T09:23:00.000-05:00Nice site and great effort.Nice site and great effort.Parsifalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580229615254941686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-2149403136788202562008-12-08T08:30:00.000-05:002008-12-08T08:30:00.000-05:00AWOL, great reflection on this Feast Day!

She carried Jesus in her womb and when she went to visit her cousin Elizabeth, "the infant lept in her womb" - the mere presence of Mary bearing Jesus brought forth great joy, and it is still thus today. This is why we honor Mary, because she points us towards Jesus!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361232588380298159noreply@blogger.com
