I could not let this day pass without acknowledging the feast of St. Louis de Montfort and St. Gianna Molla, always a beautiful harbinger of Our Lady's month of May.
St. Louis de Montfort, apostle of Mary, pray for us!
St. Gianna Molla, wife and mother, pray for us!
Here is what our family was celebrating this time last year.
Dear Alice, I just read back over your post about Marie's first communion and discovered my first comment to you on your weblog. What a wonderful year it has been getting to know you. May God bless you and your lovely family on this day and for the special month to come.

It was the feast day of one of the friars here - Brother Louis. We gave him chocolate in memory of St Louis de Montfort. :-)
