Day 19 of Lent 2023 🕊️ St. Joseph

Day 19 of Lent 2023 🕊️ St. Joseph

Joseph is usually depicted as an older man, toiling away at his workbench as a carpenter, or he is shown holding the Christ Child, along with a lily, representing the trinity. We have both of these images on our hand-painted saint medals, pictured above. Joseph is obviously a patron of palliative care, a relatively recent development in medicine. The fresh idea surrounding palliative care is that all of those who die, and that would be all of us, should finish their final life moments without pain and with humble dignity. Dying can be a very easy death if we allow it to be so.

Day 9 of Lent 2023 🦁 Saint Adrian of Nicomedia

Day 9 of Lent 2023 🦁 Saint Adrian of Nicomedia

 Adrian was not a Christian, however. He had not even been baptized. Still, he wanted to stand up for what he felt was important, being able to stand up for your own convictions, even when those around you disagreed. So, he fought the good fight and went shoulder to shoulder with comrades, the Christians’, who deserved to live their lives as they chose.

Day 6 of Lent 2023 🍀 The Celtic Cross

The best message we can find about the Celtic Cross comes from the Bible. Its circularity shows no beginning and no end, signifying that God does not change. God is the same always, as in the past, present and the future.

Day 5 of Lent 2023 🐑 Saint Bernadette

Day 5 of Lent 2023 🐑 Saint Bernadette

A more interesting event occurred, in my opinion, when we were traveling the French countryside by car and arrived in Nevers, France. The guidebooks said Saint Bernadette was there so we went to the church to take a look. It was locked up and closed, so we visited the replica of the Lourdes Grotto and were about to travel to another town. As we were doing that a side of the wall of the church opened up and people walked out! I was with my friends Mary, Michele, and Rick and one of them or I went over to see if we could get through this now unlocked open door. We were not able to talk to the people leaving but we could say “Bonjour” and smile.

It's Ash Wednesday ⛪ And So Begins The 40 Days of Lent

It's Ash Wednesday ⛪ And So Begins The 40 Days of Lent

There's hope Venerable Matt Talbot will be canonized soon. So many alcoholics, their families, friends and neighbors would reap great reward if the Pope would just recognize that curing someone in the throes of the disease, Alcoholism, is just as significant as another person attaining canonization for their disease being cured by intercession.
