"So you are the one that wanted me and loved me and prayed for me with mom at night before bed. I love you, dad, thank you for LIFE!"
Getting familiar with this new little one!
Jude sharing our first meal/celebration of his filling our arms with new life and JOY of a healthy miracle baby! So many prayers for years of yearning for the Lord to answer their prayers for a spouse and family... so quickly and beautifully answered! The gift of new life is beyond any other answer to prayer! LOVE!

Wow!!! ST JPII, my total hero, speaking the Words of Truth - open to LIFE and raising the lives we are given as LIGHTS for this world! The Culture of LIFE!
The Gospel from Mark today is Jesus reminding us of how we are to love and serve God with our ALL/totally..
The Lord our God is Lord alone!
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul,
with all your mind,
and with all your strength.
The second is this:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no other commandment greater than these."
Mark 12
So much LOVE! Studying his new home with mom and dad, as their domestic Church/family begins!
When I consider the call to love others as much as I love myself... the only place I can feel this is accomplished is with my children. I fall short on my husband, and others around me... I know I should and could do better. I do see that marriage is a way of working away at the selfishness that erupts from me when I am hurt or annoyed by him. The motto of the Community of the Lamb is good for me to be reminded..."Wounded, I will not cease to love." Look to the perfect Lamb slain for me!
Joining us for supper and sharing our happiness that he is safely here and how we marvel at the work of the Lord in this perfect masterpiece!
Grandma seeing the prayers answered in my arms!
Jude's is newborn and the other two are 0-3 mo!
The wine is from their wedding in June! Now used to celebrate the arrival of their son! So much to celebrate that our hearts are full and our heads are spinning, and we feel LOVE grow with each new arrival!
First day home and looking happy and content!
It was so special to hold him and share our wonder and awe at how the Lord listens and answers our prayers according to His Perfect Plan!
Lord, we adore you and long to love you with our mind, soul, heart and strength! We need you and are filled with so much joy at your beautiful plan for our lives. It is hard to trust and wait, but how we rejoice to feel your touch of LOVE/LIFE/LIGHT on our lives. Seeing new life in our arms is beyond a gift and miracle! Thank you, Lord! Jesus, we trust in you. Amen
Remembering my first one... the nest was where I loved to be! Now with all 4 now enjoying their nest years, and Hallel here in the U.S. sharing with our family, too! The Best! Bless-bless, Barb and all!
Nancy with George at his Baptism... the only family able to go was Hallel! Now that is a miracle and so special!
Our glorious Church helps us on the journey... from the beginning!


Reminds me of the 19 going to France!
22 with 2 brothers and a sister-in-law for Hallel's final vows! August 2018! The mountain moved to France!

Listen and consider this call to humility! St Teresa of Calcutta and her sisters prayed it weekly! So hard, but we are called to die to self and follow His example. Lent is good for this practice and prayer. Jesus, we trust in you. Make me humble. Bless-bless
Please end the horror of taking life in the womb! May the culture of death come to an end!
