(another image, once again, taken at the cemetery at Magdalena, NM)
Yes, the cemetery in Madelena, New Mexico is incredible. Well kept (with love, I might add) and has been there for quite some time. I'm guessing, but, at least 200 years? If you ever take a trip out that way (the Very Large Array could be the main destination with this stop as a stop along the way). Anyway, an incredible amount of Virgins can be found in that cemetery. All beautiful.
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.

First of all, your day 11 Guadalupe is beautiful. More inspiration for a project I have in my mind, (planning stages can last years in my world, but at least I'm thinking about it). I'm calling this style of art kitsch decorating and I love it, the colors and intricacy of all the busyness (not a spelling error). I love it.
Your prayers have been beautiful throughout. You are asking Mother Mary to help, and that is her purpose. I love that too.
Peace.
A prayer which soothes the soul.. thanks..
well, do visit to see the new haikus ..one of which is inspired by this theme here..
i have enjoyed these days more than i can say.
the beauty, peace, compassion. the closeness we have all shared.
i am so grateful that you have been a strong and loving part of each day.
So simple, so beautiful, made with such love. I love that the angel is with Our Lady. You've made me long to return to NM.
Me too Fran! I was there in the early 80's and I almost want to say this beauty full Mary in a cemetary has made me homesick!!!I LOVE NM and HOPE to get back there some day!
I have seen some of these cemetary shrines. They are incredibly beautiful and this is no exception. I love this image and your prayer is soulful and heart-opening. Thank you.

To Fran and Turquoise Cro:

There is no shortage of things to do here, let alone see...
