My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

Rosary

My youngest grandchild is six today.
Meanwhile stormtroopers are ripping rosaries
from the hands of small children.
When I was a child, my mother
lulled us to sleep with "Hail Mary's"
on AM radio.
I am a bad Catholic.
When in pain and doubt
that happens more often
as I grow old
I still murmur aves
to that holy woman.
I pray that her healing mantle
covers all the little ones.
I will say
a cosmic rosary.

Tarot of the Saints--XVIII--Mother Mary--Grace, love, forgiveness
