Mornings with Mary: Basilica & National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation

A friend from my parish allowed me to
use her photo of a church she visited
in Corey, Ohio.
It's the Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation.
I find this shrine breathtaking!
I admire Lisa for her talents;
she's an artist, singer, musician, teacher
and not least of all, a great Catholic wife and mother!
Thank you, Lisa, for allowing me to
share this exquisite shrine
with others.

Our Lady of Consolation. I like that name very much and she is beautiful--and there she is, right in the heartland of America. Thank you for sharing her.

Wow Nonnie. This is a breathtaking shrine. I enlarged it to see it better. I can imagine it is even more beautiful in person. Thanks for sharing.

more than She.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . 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

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
