| On Friday evening in St. Peter's Square, the Vatican's Christmas Tree - a 30 metre pine tree from southwestern Ukraine - was lit for the first time. The ceremony was attended by representatives from the Catholic and Orthodox Churches of Ukraine. "The tree is a symbol of the coming of Christ, who illuminates the history of man," said Archbishop Giuseppe Bertelli, the president of the Governorate of Vatican City.

Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry! Below are two albums of pictures that I created: 1. Our grand daughter Adrianna. 2. Tears of Mary!
