Beautiful Auriesville New York
Sunday we packed up ourselves and the car drove off into the fog to visit the Shrine of the North American Martyrs in Auriesville, New York. The fog was an eerie addition to the day. Mary-Kate commented that it mad picture taking difficult. I kind of enjoyed the effect.Here is a picture of Theresa’s rosary. They have fixed the alignment of the stones, replaced missing stones, and painted them.
Each of us entered into the spirit of the place and seemed to overcome by the atmosphere. Was it the fog contributing to the ambience? I don’t know. Here is the patriarch saying his rosary.
Matthew was unusually silent as well and spent the morning contemplating the statues and deep in thought.
Mary-Kate heads off into the ravine. The fog held on there long after it had burnt off everywhere else.
Beautiful job of repainting this statue of Our Lady. Many prayers were said for our soldiers and our own in particular. Each spent much time in quiet contemplation of blessings received and favors desired.
Sacred Heart of Jesus keep us all in your loving and capable hands.
