I have been working several years on this special portion of the garden.  As you can see Mary is the focus of this grotto with azaleas underneath and a white Lady Banks rose above.  We will be crowning Mary this May in her special place of honor in our garden.  The Godfreys.

I read the article on your website about the sexual abuse in the church.  Seriously, these priests need to go to jail.  Do you really think praying about it is going to help?  You'd do better to call 911 after services on Sunday just in case.             ...Jim

Not only do we think praying is going to help.  We believe that prayer is the first and most important response.  As an institution of man, the Church is flawed.  As an institution of God, the Church is the spotless Bride of Christ.  We cannot save ourselves without Christ and we cannot fix any problem in the Church without intercession and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  All Catholics are responsible to both support the leadership of the Church as we work to implement better guidelines and to do what we are individually called to do to directly address issues in our Church.  For most of us, that means that we pray and pray and pray and make acts of reparation for sins which so offend the heart of Christ.   Jesus promised He would never leave us and times of crisis are not exception.  As for calling 911, please remember that with a few egregious exceptions, our priests are holy, dedicated servants of God without whom we could not receive the Sacraments of the Church, most importantly the Body of Christ in the most Holy Eucharist.  So we will continue to pray and encourage all God's children to do so as well.

Thank you all you are responsable for Abyss of Mercy.That's what I am always looking for, a closer walk with our Lord, but sometimes is hard to keep on track, to me this is a good incentive. I go to daily Mass, I go to Adoration and I pray, but sometimes I do not know why, but it is a strugle, I make all kinds of excuses not to pray or go to daily Mass. thank you again and God bless you all         ...Fernanda Medeiros

 

Thank you for the encouraging words Fernanda.  I think we all go through periods when its hard to pray, when it feels dry and unproductive.  Or when all the daily stuff in this world -- bills, grocery shopping, the kids, etc. seem to take up your day and by the time you have time to pray all you want to do is sit in front of the TV or go to sleep!  I like to remember that when we go to Mass, pray, and especially spend time in Eucharistic Adoration that we comfort and delight the heart of God.  I like that idea, being a good friend to the Creator of the universe.  Kinda cool.
