You belong to God – The Presentation of Mary.

November 21, 20201 Comment

The presentation; a child is dedicated to God. In our modern times, we may be quick to consider this in opposition to the freedom of a child, a taking away of their choice of faith as they grow. That a dedication of a child strips a child of the free will they have to choose … Continue reading You belong to God – The Presentation of Mary.

What is more important to you than fear?

October 22, 2020

Mary Salome in "The descent from the cross" by Rogier van der Weyden  Did you ever see the Princess Diaries? After watching the movie, I remember as an inspired younger version of myself, attentively writing on a pretty memory card and placing it in clear view on my notice board: “Courage is not the absence of … Continue reading What is more important to you than fear?

God’s Mysterious Ways – The Feast of St Margaret Mary Alacoque

October 16, 2020October 16, 20201 Comment

It would be fair to say that the young Mlle. Margaret Mary Alacoque was probably not the easiest person to live with.

Mary … Continue reading When the Ordinary Meets the Extraordinary. – The First Joyful Mystery.

Sorrowing With Our Mother: The Second Sorrow – The Flight into Egypt

October 23, 2019October 23, 20192 Comments

It happens to us all.  A harsh quip back to someone who has hurt us, an angry rant about a situation beyond our control, the storming out of a room to count to ten before resuming a heated conversation.  It happens to us all, and none more so than me. It’s what we redheads are … Continue reading Sorrowing With Our Mother: The Second Sorrow – The Flight into Egypt

The Freedom of a Fiat

March 25, 2019March 25, 20191 Comment

Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum - Lk 1:38 FIAT. Such a small word meaning ‘let it be done’. It almost sounds weak and submissive, where could it possible fit into our world of Power-House Women? Surely, this phrase of ‘let it be done’ is more of a last resort - ‘I give up. Whatever happens, … Continue reading The Freedom of a Fiat

Quotes to Muse

” You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
