Flowers for the Immaculate Conception (out of focus edition)

When giving a flower to the Immaculate Conception, there is a possibility that the flower might well be in good focus for us, perhaps too much so, so that the emphasis is on the flower, not on the one to whom we are giving the flower, who falls out of focus. But, hey! That’s O.K.! Mary knows that all too well. She’s well able to encourage us. And that maternal care then comes into focus for us.
