"he added 'Mary' to his name..."

My comfort zone has been stretched and I have been in great fear of my inadequacies this morning already... at one point I said to Pat that I was saying "Hail Mary's" to assist us in a situation on the farm.  And at that point we had success, and I could return to my normal duties for a brief period of time.  As I walked to the house I picked up some stuff on the lawn after the construction of our shop... I had some moments to admire and thank Our Lady for always being with me as I face the difficulties and stretching of me.  I know she faced much worse situations back in olden times, and that she walks with those that are in much more dire straits!
In the morning light the cows on stalks and the round bales were a beautiful sight to calm my nerves. 
The words of St Anthony Mary Claret this morning from our shared prayers to start our day echoed in me..."She is my Mother, my Protector, my Teacher, my all, after Jesus."  in response to taking Mary as part of his name to indicate how much she assists him to come more fully to Jesus!
 trying to find some peace in the midst of the craziness today- I will clutch my beads and find Mary there with me!
 Trying to find the beauty on my travels today...
 The shop is finished and ready for the insulation this weekend. 
 My view - good thing it is warm today as I am out in the air without a cab...
"Hail Mary full of grace..."
Bless-bless, Barbara Luke
