Mornings with Mary: Her Titles

Our Heavenly Mother is known
 by innumerable names, just as there are untold
images of Mary.
However one chooses to address her,
or however one imagines her appearance,
she listens.
I know that I think of my own mother
when I seek guidance or assurance.
How much more fitting
to appeal to the Virgin Mary
when seeking comfort, solace
or answers to questions.
She awaits each of us
to intercede for us
to her Blessed Son.

Our Lady of the Esplanade

Yes, I have used images of Mary
from previous posts,
but I felt that with this one,
I needed them
to illustrate my point.

Nonnie, how I love your litany of Mary's names. I remember chanting a litany like this on her feast day long ago. And who says we can't recycle our Marys? I'm glad you did.

I never consciously thought of all these names. Thanks for listing. Seems Mary takes on whatever name people want to give her at any given moment. And reposting is good. I don't get to visit every single blog every single day, so this way I can catch up on things I missed. xo

thanks for that- someone recently admonished me about a photo she thought I'd reused.

Thanks for not admonishing me about reposting. I received one recently because the reader thought I'd used a photo before. I too don't visit every blogger every day or I'd never get up from my computer.

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
