MWM: For Whom The Bells Toll

 Monday Mornings With Mary





Mary at Notre Dame
overlooks the Paris garden
awaiting the vespers




When we were in Paris last September, my body quit a block before Notre Dame. I stayed in one spot on rock ledge while Brian took photos. He was in the garden but didn't take this photo. I recalled knowing there had to be a Mary with Notre Dame but just could walk no longer. Am sure this would be even more impressive if I had seen her.

  4. This statue is a very favorite of mine. I have never seen it in person
    and probably never will, but it she looks so like a Queen. I am always awe-struck by her.
    Grace, I didn't realize we lived so near each other.
    I am in Palmyra.

    1. Holy cow, Priti, I'll be there tomorrow nite. I go there for my acupuncture. Hubby born and raised there and all his family there. Yes, we are a stone's throw away, as "they" say. The Hershey Pantry is my favorite restaurant. Maybe we could meet one day over tea and dessert or whatever.

  6. I have been to Notre Dame in Paris twice and every time I discover something I have not seen - the internet is an amazing network! I saw your comment about the numbers of the day - it is also the feast day of Mary Magdalene and a Super Moon, the third one this year and an incredible planetary alignment which forms the Star of David in the sky!!
