The immaculate image of Our Lady of Fatima has been in our home since October. The image has been moving around from one house to another for the Family Rosary Crusade. The last home it visited was of the Aguila’s and it has been in my home since October.
The family seldom prays the rosary but when Mama Mary came we have been praying it everyday. Even if we are away for out of town trips we always make sure that we pray the rosary wherever we are and think about Mama Mary at home. The rosary pledge is part of the commitment that each family must make before accepting the image at home. My children were initially complaining about the daily rosary routine. Specially Jeter who always ask questions why do we have to do it everyday???. Jeanne and Jay jay have been the most understanding. So far it has been a wonderful experience, there is nothing compared to a family praying together and hear out each others personal prayers and intentions. Jayjay always pray for the polar bears, Jeter for his grades, Jeanne for world peace, Myrna for the families at home and Me … thanksgiving for all the blessing that we have receive. I am so grateful to have the Virigin Mary staying with us. It has not only help my children to pray the rosary but it has taught me the value of praying together as a family everyday.
When the time comes for Mother Mary to move on to another home I will surely missed the children singing Ave.. Ave… Ave.. Maria.
