Marian Flowers, Marian Week

 I feel that this was a Marian week. I was trying to emulate and soak in all that I received from Immaculée's retreat and about Our Lady and the Rosary. I asked Our Lady Monday morning, to be with me at work, to feel her presence. I felt my prayer was answered when a teacher announced on email that there were some flowers up for grabs in the breakroom/teacher lounge. I was interested to look and see these flowers.

I was happy no one else was there, as I could take my time to look through which ones to take, daffodils, lily, tulips, hydrangea. I felt like Our Lady was inviting me, with me in my day, as I had just two days ago consecrated myself to her. I had put a fuchsia pink rose with baby's breath in a vase near her statue at the church while Immaculee was praying. These flowers I took from work also felt like a reminder of life, of spring, of beautiful things. 

Two days last week, I put a rosary in my pocket. So, throughout the day, in the classes I'm in I could be reminded of Mary, as I touched the rosary. 

My dear sister opened up an Etsy shop with created jewelry pieces inspired by Our Lady. I was so happy and proud of her, her creativity, her love for Our Lady and inspiration to personally create these beautiful pieces. I ordered 2 of them. Our Lady is always close to us, never far away.
