‘Mary who was assumed into Heaven and has a glorified body, still has hands that show she was just a working woman....She is all things to all of us because she is the mother of mankind. How can you not go to her? She has the secret of everything, now that she is where she is.
(Catherine Doherty)
Young couple who joined me for 3pm live-streamed Holy Rosary in our Church today remained until the very end. Chatting with them afterwards I learned that Alan and Erin are staying in our town for one night only and are part of a group planning to go on pilgrimage to Medugorje in October please God.
Pilgrimage Spiritual Director will be Fr. Bernardino, Franciscan Friar of the Renewal who resides in Moyross, Co. Limerick and he would be arriving here in our Church any minute now to join Alan and Erin. It is no secret how much I admire and appreciate the Franciscans of the Renewal and so when he walked in the door I could have danced for sheer joy. Gentle Fr. Bernardino imparted to me his beautiful priestly Blessing and ever since that precious moment in time my feet have not touched the ground.
As if that was not more than enough for one day, then gracious folk (whom I had never laid eyes on before today) asked if I would like to join them on pilgrimage to Medugorje next October God willing.😳 Thing is, last evening I felt deep in my heart that Mother Mary might well be inviting me to Medugorje and I even told Killian! (I’m glad now that I did!)
We never decide of our own volition to go on pilgrimage to Medugorje, this I know from past experience! Mother Mary invites us every time and somehow in her own sweet way, she brings it to fruition. Always and ever for the supreme Glory of God.
Today is the sublime Feast day of the Assumption of our Blessed Mother Mary to Heaven.
Dearest Mother Mary, be with us on our way. For all your ways are beautiful and all your paths are peace. Amen.
‘Everything I have learned about beauty in its simplicity and magnificence , I learned from the Blessed Virgin Mary’. (J.R.R. Tolkien)
(I know now that dear Mother Mary invited me to Medjurjie in October to receive strength necessary to bear the cross of my dear Katy’s passing in December. I know that now for sure.❤️🙏🏻
