Celebrating Immaculate Conception...

...awakening a "renewed desire for holiness".
====================================================================
by PAM

This is a special edition of "Saturday photo" just because today is Sunday rather than Saturday.  But I'd like to feature a photo of love, care, gentle nurturing of the soul and the inspiring beauty of hope:


Our Lady, our Hope, our Rose... our Mother, pray for us.

She who was conceived without sin... our Mother who loves us.  She who 'opens' a window of hope to God's kingdom when all dims from our sins.  We join our Holy Father in praying that our Lady makes "present all the Gospel's beauty" in our lives.  Amen.
