“Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you.” More beautiful words have never been spoken! I thank the Lord that hundreds of times I have been blessed to proclaim them to people. Each time I do, emotion wells up from the depths and often my eyes fill with tears: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you.”

Return to the Church | Why pray?

Recently, I was gazing out the window and noticed a walker pushing a child in a stroller. I imagined the person navigating was a grandparent. It was a cold day, and my first thought was: that youngster should have a hat! Now, in fairness, maybe the child did have a hat but preferred not to wear it. All parents and grandparents have had the: “I won’t wear this!” battle of wills. How much to insist is part of the wisdom of the moment.
