Wow…. I will save this post. I love this post….one of those moments in my life where I read something that brings me just to the brink of understanding GOD.
So I’ll save it and read it again and again because I’m tired of being at the brink, I want to get past the self imposed hurdle ….. thank you

Thank you for the history lesson Mary, very informative. Your reflection is a triumph.
In the words of another well known scholar the crucifixion was an achievement.
Love and joy………….

Good morning, Mary!
Every Monday morning the first thing I say, “I can’t wait to read what Mary has written to us!” You did not disappoint! You are gifted with such patience and knowledge and then you share all of that with us. Thank you. You always give me a great deal to ponder as well as providing a clearer picture of the readings.
May all who take time at CM to help us on a daily basis to better understand and live the Word be blessed, you are so appreciated.
