Mary, wipe the tears away from my eyes
By Jean Smith
May is upon us and it is the month of honoring the Blessed Mother Mary. She is the Mother of all of us.

She quells my heartbreak and helps sustains me in my motherhood.

Busy About Many Things
By David Torkington
My mother's death happened so quickly and was so unexpected that I had difficulty coming to terms with it at the time. Everything seemed so unreal. I just didn't feel anything. Jobs had to be done and I had to do them. Someone had died and I had to make all the practical arrangements.

Behold Our Mother, Behold the Queen. .
Behold Our Mother, Behold the Queen. .
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
Full of Grace, those words chosen by God to address Mary, yes chosen by God and not by the angel himself, since an angel is a messenger of God, and as a messenger, he does not transmit his message, but the message of his Lord, the Master and Lord of the angel is God, and the message the angel proclaimed, was and is the message of God.

I'm past arguing if God exists. We need our Creator!

Noisy Children at Mass
