Mary
Clothed With the Sun
Today, the Catholic Church celebrated the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, so my parents and I went to church this afternoon. One of the scripture readings was from Revelation. The book is about a vision that the Apostle John experienced. It describes, “A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, […]
Fatima Rosary
When we saw the Fatima statue the other night, we received a little booklet that gave details about the apparitions and some prayers.

She does have a skin infection that her doctor noted and has started taking antibiotics for. We are a bit concerned as she had MRSA […]
