Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus.
Sancta Maria mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

“I love your new wallpaper, Mom!”

and then follows it with

“I wonder how Mama Mary keeps her veil on.”

Muaha. Yah. Me too. When were hair pins invented?

Oh, and while you’re here, say a prayer for her please. She’s getting ready for consecration on the Feast of the Assumption (March 25) — the day after her 17th birthday. Already there are people and events and all kinds of things distracting her from this goal. But she wants to get there, and I know every bit of prayer will help.
