Ladies,
The moderators here have prepared a gift for us just in time for Holy Week. It is called Our Mother's Garden of Sorrow. Each "flower" in the garden is the fruit of reflection on the sufferings that a mother's heart must endure. We have written words from the heart based on our experiences, hoping and praying that this Garden, lovingly cultivated and grown over the past many weeks, will touch many hearts and help in the journey towards healing. As time passes, our garden will grow with the addition of new "flowers." In the meantime, please feel free to walk and rest with us here.
There is a permanent link to the Garden at the top of the We Pray to the Lord main page. We hope that those who enter will enjoy their walk and find peace there.
love,

Many thanks. I felt as if I was walking with my sisters, arms linked together, sharing these depths of our hearts with each other. What a gift you all are.
