Steve sent me this photo he took of the statue of Mary outside the Queen of All Saints chapel at Mary Immaculate Center in Northampton, PA. As he wrote in the comments a few days ago, he is on the Spirituality Year Program offered by St. Charles Seminary. He wrote that he'd sent this photo to RC hoping he would put it up before Dec. 8 but apparently RC doesn't love Mary as he ought! Tsk, tsk, RC !
Anyhow, Steve said he took the photo in the late afternoon when the sun was shining through a grate in the entrance of Mary Immaculate Center. The grate has the "M" associated with the Miraculous Medal devotion, a crown, and a fleur-de-lis in it. In this photo you can clearly see the shadow fo the fleur-de-lis and the M.
Steve also says pray for all seminarians, especially those most in need of God's mercy. I don't know what he meant by that but I am passing it along. It sounds like he's been reading about the visions of Hell from the children at Fatima - scary! So pray for seminarians, especially those most in need of God's mercy!
Well, that's probably true, but RC also has a cold, and would like sympathy, though it's so easy for misunderstandings to happen on the 'net.
Sorry, RC - I take it all back! You know I was just kidding with Sal, right?
It's all right: like St. Francis, I wouldn't rather seek so much "to be understood as to understand", etc., etc.
O:-)
