 Pieta @ www.abcsoffaith.com

Pieta


"Pieta" by Michelangelo. This Pieta, unlike the original, is done in color. It recalls the moment when our Lord, having died on the Cross, is placed in the arms of His Sorrowful Mother. Truly, both Jesus and Mary understand the sorrows of our life! We have great recourse to them in prayer, when ever we feel the stresses. strains and the crosses of our own life.
From Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Church in Houston,Texas.

St.Joseph


In an age when workers often feel they need a friend, when fathers, and many of the faithful also long for a hero - call on
St. Joseph! Patron of the Universal Church, a model father, and also known as 'the worker' - this humble carpenter spent years of his life caring for Jesus and Mary. Imagine living in a home with Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Being in such hallowed company, it is easy to imagine how sainty Joseph was - and is!
From St Joseph's Catholic Church in Baytown,Texas.


 Ave Maria @ www.abcsoffaith.com

Ave Maria


Ave Maria! We can't possible honor Mary as much as God has already! The Ark that held the Covenant was made of pure gold. The Ark was flanked by angels. Inside with the tablets of the Covenant was the priestly rod of Moses, manna and the Word.
God the Father placed the Word made flesh into the Virgin Mary's womb. She had this announced by an angel - she would be the mother of Jesus - "Yahweh Saves!" He is our new Manna in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. He is our eternal High Priest! All this is possible because of Mary's yes to God. In anticipation of her great office, God preserved her from sin - making her pure 'gold' in spiritual terms! Just as the Ark was held on poles - not to be touched by man - so the new Ark of the Covenant, Mary, would be ever-virgin - never to be "touched" by man. Hail holy Queen! Mother of our Savior!
From Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Church in Houston,Texas
