Our Marian Artist Trading Cards - 2014





I mailed out 30 trading cards on Saturday, all decorated in honor of Our Lady for the month of May and to take part in this ATC swap.  In a couple weeks, we'll get a special delivery of new cards from children the same age as mine who participated in the same swap from all around the US.  We had a great time doing this swap in 2011 and the kids were so happy with all the new cards they received!  We *had* to take part in it again!!

Three years later, we added another artist and all the other kids have grown in their art talents as well....

Pookey - age 4
(did all the coloring - momma drew the picture of the "Immaculate Heart" for him)

Max - age 6

Ariel - age 8

Melody - age 9


Mario - age 11


Fone - age 12



Hail Mary, full of grace!
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, 
now and at the hour of our death.  
Amen.

Marian Consecration Day

http://33daystomorningglory.com/

Tonight was the celebration and Mass for our Marian consecration, on the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.  I have been preparing myself the last 6 weeks using the 33 Days to Morning Glory study, digging into the wisdom of some amazing Marian spiritual giants...  St Loius de Montford, St Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Mother Teresa, and Blessed John Paul II.  What a wonderful study and journey it has been!!  I have prayed to Mary and taken her into my heart and our little domestic church quite some time ago, but it was really nice to make my devotion to her and consecration "official".  I couldn't ask for a better person to bring me closer to Jesus - His own mother!! 

Three prayers I took to heart and will keep with me forever....

what is the arrow on my white board pointing to, you may ask?  a beautiful picture of Mary, of course....


How blessed I was to celebrate and consecrate myself to Mary with all of these wonderful people....


And a sweet, talented momma made these cakes - an Immaculate Heart of Mary cake and a Sacred Heart of Jesus cake.  Aren't they beautiful????


 (Thanks, Stephanie, for making these for us!  Super special!!  How sweet of you!)


++O Mary, conceived without sin, 
pray for us who have recourse to thee.++
