Mondays with Mary: An Offering to Mary


An Offering to Mary

Here are my prayers, Mary
You do the rest
Where they are needed
You will know best
Don’t  bother saving
A merit or two
Use them all, Mary,
I give them to you.
It’s the only way, Mary,
That I can see.
For repaying my thanks
For the grace you gave me.
I give them to you,
Without any strings,
Pass them to Jesus
As your offerings,
So take my prayers, Mary,
And all that I do,
With my heart in the Center,
I give them to you.

O Mary Conceived Without Sin,
Pray for us Who have
Recourse to Thee.

Ladies, our town is lucky enough to have a small Catholic store. Its name is the Madonna Shop. That's where I bought this holy card. In fact, I bought several to share with the homebound to whom I send some kind of card each month.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

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
