And in this corner....
Years ago a church group passed a framed picture of the Virgin Mary from house to house. According to the legend surrounding the picture, this same picture had been passed from house to house since 1938 and was passed through the 2nd world war, in secret for fear of confiscation, discovery, and retaliation from the enemy. To add to the mystery of the picture it was passed on by only one person. You gave it to that person and requested it be passed on to...and you would name the person. This was the way it was handled through the years, the idea being to protect the people receiving the picture. No one here lives in fear of being seriously persecuted for doing this now, and yet… Let us pray for strength and conviction and in thanksgiving for the gift of faith given and lived by those who came before us. 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.
