Just returned from pilgrimage

[alban]

I've just returned from 5 wonderful days at the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. It has left me with a whole bunch of questions and thoughts i'd like to share with you, but if any of you yanks ever happen to be in the UK then Walsingham (in my opinion) should be right at the top of your travel list.

O Mary, recall the solemn moment when Jesus, your divine Son, dying on the Cross, confided us to your maternal care. You are our Mother, we desire ever to remain your devout children. let us therefore feel the effects of your powerful intercession with Jesus Christ. make your Name again glorious in the shrine once renowned throughout England by your visits, favours, and many miracles.

Pray, O holy Mother of God, for the conversion of England, restoration of the sick, consolation for the afflicted, repentance of sinners, peace to the departed.

O blessed Mary, Mother of God, our Lady of Walsingham, intercede for us. Amen.

I think Jesus-- "our only mediator and advocate" --does just fine, although visiting Walsingham would be nice since it's an historical curiosity.

Any chance we can get you involved with the bible study, Albion? I think you'd bring an interesting perspective to it. :)

And I think Mary, our most powerful intercessor -- who constantly intercedes for us to our mediator and advocate, Jesus -- does a pretty good job too. :amen:
