Powerful image!
Thank you, Emmy. May she accompany you!
Sr. Maresa, What a lovely portrait of Mary as a young girl–on the verge of saying “yes” to God’s “outrageous” request of her! I agree with every word you said about her. And I love every brush stroke you used to try to capture her! Thank you for your incredible artistic work! Sr. Melannie
Thank you, Sister Melannie. May she walk with your every step.
