The friendship of mothers is best realize as we pray for each other in the vocation we share. We are daughters of the New Eve. It is Mary who waits for us, journeys with us, cries with us, laughs with us, teaches us, and prays with us. As we retire in the evenings, may we find joy in knowing that, we may be someone's mother by day, but by night, we sleep in peace as her daughters, first.

Love's Degree

In the cool of Shadowed Presence,
Love is The Incarnation.

In the swaddling warmth of Promise,
Love is The Manifestation.


In the embers of ashen Wednesday,
Love is The Destination.

In the breeze of palm-ed Sunday,
Love is The Expectation.

In the piercing chill of betrayal Thursday,
Love is The Satisfaction.

In the balmy tears of Peter's denial,
Love is The Revelation.

In the shiver of abandoned Passion,
Love is The Contemplation.

In the blazon trail of Mary's tears,
Love is The Consolation.

In the earth-shaken storm of Crucifixion,
Love is The Consummation.

In the frigid barricade of stone,
Love is The Resurrection.

In the fire of Transforming Mercy,
Love waits in Hidden Presence.

    Sharon,

    It never ceases to amaze me how the Holy Spirit is always inspiring you in such beautiful ways. You are a gift to me which I will be forever grateful to our Father for. Love, Cece

    Cece,
    You have affected my journey and inspired my thoughts because of your great faith. I believe that if you were alive during the Via de La Rosa, the way of the cross, you would have been there at the
    8th station! Your love for the Lord and your family can't even be measured.
    Love, me
