lead us safely home.

    ah, if such magic were only true. and if only a safe home existed. instead, we have our real lives — were we struggle with ourselves and others to learn safety. Fun image of that human made effort

    The beauty of salvation comes in many forms. It’s the belief not so much the form. Truly said MMT!

    With hands folded, the virgin prays for our safety as we do likewise. We will arrive at our refuge in spirit and safety…

    I so love the dark skinned Virgin of Guadalupes…no wonder she is the special saint for the people of Latin America. Wonderful haiku, as well!

    Thank you for the nudge about the word verification – I was blissfully unaware and have figured out how to turn it off

    I once heard it said that Mary (or Guad) is the approachable face of God — the sister and dear friend who holds our heart gently and sheds her tears for our pain.
