It is a good week to be a Mary and think about Marys, especially if you are a fan of Marys.<\/p>\n
First of all, and to be totally self-promting, if you are reading Journey Toward Home: Soul Travel From Advent to Lent, you will notice that my essay Mary\/Maryam is today’s reflection. You can order the book from Mustard Seed Associates<\/a>. It is full of wonderful essays and ideas for honoring the beginning of the year, whether with thoughtful reflections or shared meals (with recipes provided!!).<\/p>\n You can read the original version of my essay Mary\/Maryam<\/a>, which was posted here on maryology in the Spring.<\/p>\n Second, today is the 104th birthday of my sainted grandmother<\/a>, the first of three Marys in a row in my family and the inaugural member of maryology’s Hall of Marys. My grandmother is celebrating in the great hereafter with a multitude of other Marys, I am sure.<\/p>\n And third (this is the one that makes it a trifecta, if you are counting) at the end of this week we remember the Virgin of Guadelupe<\/a>, who is one of the most etherial Marys to every appear.<\/p>\n It also seems to be a great time to recycle lots of my previous posts. Enjoy all the Marys this week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is a good week to be a Mary and think about Marys, especially if you are a fan of Marys.
