This week has been a busy one, indeed. A painting job which entailed all cutting in, because each wall has a panel on it. No rollers! A giant pain, but well worth the pay. And, mowing 7 yards between rain drops. I'm just not that agile anymore. And some plumbing. Busy, indeed. That is why I haven't written earlier. But, now to the more important stuff.
Monday was the day celebrating the Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was the 1500th year after the Council of Ephesus, where Mary was called the "Mother of God". It is as simple as this, as in geometry:
1) Mary is the mother of Jesus
2) Jesus is God
3) Therefore, Mary is the Mother of God
It IS that simple.
Also, this week was the 93rd anniversary of the Great Miracle of Fatima. It was witnessed by 70,000 people, many of who were skeptics. Some of them converted, or reverted to the Faith which they had abandoned. Mary brought them back! I said "no" to the Catholic Church once, because I thought there was too much to know and learn. Hah! Mary brought me back also. She knew that I was just stubborn enough to learn and defend the Faith once I learned it. Hopefully, she was right. After all, my name means "soldier" in Latin! Now days I can't seem to know and learn enough. Go figure.
