Shrove Tuesday evening, shooting the breeze with the neighbors, I noticed that one of my neighbor’s trees is just now exploding with Lenten color, just in time. I know that flowers are not very Lenten, you know, in Church. But these are outside editions because, how can you not give flowers to the Immaculate Conception.
On that note, a package arrived with hand-made Rosaries to bless and give out on my rounds.
I’m grateful. The Lord’s Little Flock thanks you.
And… and… today, Ash Wednesday, with Masses all over the back ridges of these Appalachian Blue and Smoky Mountains, there’s time for extra Rosaries. Hey! A Lenten resolution: extra Rosaries.
I mean, did you notice? The world and the church and all of us need prayer. And… Go to Confession!
ARISE! LET US BE GOING! 
Have a good Lent, Father. You are in our prayers. God bless and keep you. p.s. What a sweet person he or she is to make those rosaries! I will offer mine for that person today (and you and the Church and the world!)
I love Flowers for the Immaculate conception. I love the prayers and meditations of the Rosary. Deo gratias. Thank you Father.
Thinking on the Rosary, it will soon be the Feast of the Annunciation (and Incarnation) when God took to Himself a human heart, His Sacred Heart taking flesh from the Immaculate Heart of His Mother. And so comes to mind Father’s Two Hearts Rosary Meditations and hoping he might have a Lenten edition for us in the works. (Yes?)
