‘Draw yourself nearer and come to Him’.

Ash Wednesday. I awaken just before my 6AM alarm, the words: ‘Draw yourself nearer and come to Him’, on my heart and lips. Hour of prayer more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. Little birds awake too, singing outside my window, adoring and thanking God

Thankyou beautiful Mother Mary, You called me gently to your Son Jesus, on my first Lenten morning: ‘Draw yourself nearer, and come to Jesus’.

Hail Mary, full of a Grace, The Lord is with thee. 

Blessed are thou among 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.
