Entreaty to Mary

Entreaty to Mary
oh, Mother Mary, show me the path
to holiness, the one you traveled, 
so long ago.  
your faith was fervent, 
you accepted as truth  the message 
from the angel Gabriel,
and kept straight your role
of Virgin Mother of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
be of assistance to me so I may become
more steadfast in my belief, 
to see my role of evangelizing
the Gospel to those in need,
be they family, friends or strangers.
lend your hand to me when I waver
so that I stay true to my God.
Amen

The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
