And because I just love the quote she shared today, I have to share it here too. (Hope you don't mind, Amanda!). It is a real gem, from none other than J.R.R. Tolkien.
"Out of the darkness of my life,
so much frustrated,
I place before you
the one great thing to love on earth:
The Blessed Sacrament...
There you will find romance, glory, honor, fidelity
and the true way of all your loves upon earth,
and more than that: Death:
by the divine paradox, that which ends life,
and demands the complete surrender of all,
and yet by the taste of which alone
can what you seek
in your earthly relationships be maintained,
or take on the complexity of reality,
or eternal endurance,
which every man's heart desires."
~ Tolkien in a letter to his son

Thank you so much Claire! You know that picture you have to go along with the quote, is the same exact one that I almost used on my blog! I finally decided on the other one.
I love that quote. I found it (in part) on a newsletter that we get from the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, AL. After alot of searching, I found the rest of it. Tolkien was a very devout Catholic, by the way. One of his son's was a priest! (How neat!)
Thank's again!
God Bless!
hey Claire, you need to update your side bar...Love,Veronica
