Mornings with Mary: St. Mary Aglow

St. Mary aglow,

the sun accents her glory

with fall's comeliness

recently, a friend asked me,

"don't you think St. Mary (the edifice, 

not the parish members)  is cold?"

note: St. Mary's stone interior
 has very dark wood on the upper walls,

and its ceilings are HIGH,

up in the nose bleed height.

I pondered only for a short while

and replied that when I first

came to this parish, I did think of the church

in that way, especially compared

to my former parish of St. Lawrence.

St. Lawrence 

but as I grew to know and love 

the members, 

the church's stone and dark wood
took on warmth.
I would say that one will
feel warmth in any group
if one becomes involved.
