Immaculate Conception

Did you know when you were eight years old that the Feast of the Immaculate Conception was a feast of the Virgin Mary? I did not. My eldest does. So on this PILGRIMAGE to heaven that we are travelling together, she has learned a lesson in the spiritual life far beyond what I knew at her age. I am hoping that while we are on this most treacherous stretch of the journey in raising and educating saints that I am able to arrive at the destination I most long for, eventhough I may be tired, worn out and MESSY from the voyage.
