Hail Mary Full of Grace

The Lord is with Thee
Blessed art Thou Among Women
and Blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus
Holy Mary Mother of God
Pray for us Sinners Now and at the Hour of our Death

Amen

The Basillica of the Immaculate Conception, Washington DC

In October of 2008, My husband and I took a trip for our Anniversary to Washington DC.  My husband had developed an interest in President Abraham Lincoln.  He's been reading books and watching documentary's and I surprised him with this trip. We had a wonderful time. We went to each memorial and I will eventually blog about these but the absolute best thing we did was visit the Basicilica on November 1, 2008, our 28th wedding Anniversary.

This Visit began a relationship with the Queen of Heaven, Mary the Mother of Jesus.  Now, I know.  Catholic all my life. Love my faith, Love the Church but never really "got" the relationship with Mary.

Until Now.

What a visionary Mary was.  To be so obedient to her calling.

I began saying Rosary fervently and regularly.  If you need some real comfort PRAY THE ROSARY.
