It has been a few months since I last posted a blog.  I have a few ideas that I haven't worked out but I am working.  I don't know if whatever I finally work out will express what I want to convery as well as this 20 minute video that Jim Caviezel's Tribute to the Virgin Mary.  It is a wonderful video and is well worth spending a few minutes watching.

If one prays the Rosary then what Mr. Caviezel says about feeling that Mary intercedes with God and that God will answer ones prays, sometimes in a round about way, is understood.  As I watched the video and heard him share the feeling he felt I thought of an old Mario Lanzo song that I feel a connection with, "I Walk with God".  I often find myself hearing a few lines that I fancy and find comfort with;

"I walk with God.  He takes my Hand.
 I talk with God.  He'll Understand."

Solemnity Of The Annunciation Of The Lord

On March 25^th Catholics in The United States celebrate The Solemnity of The Annunciation of Our Lord. Most refer to this feast simply as The Annunciation and frequently reflect while praying the first decade of the Joyful Mysteries while saying their Rosary.

This special feast is referenced in The Holy Gospel of Luke;

Luke 1 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,

27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.

30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.

31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.

33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end.

34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?

35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:

37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.

38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
