Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Marian devotion | Memorare | family prayer
I’m a convert, so my journey with the Blessed Mother started late in life. At the beginning of that journey, I read everything about the faith I could find. I was overwhelmed for the most part but determined. When our boys were little, I learned to pray the Rosary when they took their naps. Most of the time I fell asleep during the prayer, but I did learn it. The arrival of our daughter brought fear into my prayers. My mother and I didn't get along. My fears of being the mother that she was to my own daughter began to overtake me. I reached out to the Blessed Mother. This began my practice of Hail Mary-ing my way through everything. If I was afraid, I would immediately start the prayer; if I was overwhelmed, angry, happy, or sad—whatever was happening in my life—I would whisper a Hail Mary.

My friends and I got together a few weeks ago for a long overdue Girls Night Out. The conversation jumped around to different topics, but one part of the conversation stands out in my memory of that evening.
