Feast of the Immaculate Conception 2011

I have been trying for MONTHS now to mamage to get a FEAST DAY actually celebrated in my house. Advent has been ok...we are trying...

I did manage to orgainze and plan for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception...just a few things we did.
During our monring prayer, we prayed/sang 3 extra Hail Marys, and the "Ave Maria". We also ate blueberry scones and blueberry smoothies for breakfast in honor of Mary. We have so much fun!!!

Hope your feast day was Blessed, and as lovely as ours was!!!

My Patron Saint

Clare was a beautiful Italian noblewoman who became the Foundress of an order of nuns now called "Poor Clares." When she heard St. Francis of Assisi preach, her heart burned with a great desire to imitate Francis and to live a poor humble life for Jesus. So one evening, she ran away from home, and in a little chapel outside Assisi, gave herself to God. St. Francis cut off her hair and gave her a rough brown habit to wear, tied with a plain cord around her waist. Her parents tried in every way to make her return home, but Clare would not. St. Clare was sick and suffered great pains for many years, but she said that no pain could trouble her. So great was her joy in serving the Lord that she once exclaimed: "They say that we are too poor, but can a heart which possesses the infinite God be truly called poor?" We should remember this miracle of the Blessed Sacrament when in Church. Then we will pray with great Faith to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist: "Save me, O Lord, from every evil - of soul and body." Her feast day is August 11.

Dei gratia - By the grace of God
