Marys are in our midst, even in our own backyards so to speak. Yesterday I went to a reader's theater production at Mary and Joseph Retreat Center in Rancho Palos Verdes and stopped to snap this beautiful Mary in their garden. I could see her out of the corner of my eye throughout the Thomas Merton/Dorothy Day presentation.
Only a few miles from where I live, I highly recommend visiting this retreat center anytime you are in the area. I used to go there so often in the "olden days," and being there again yesterday was like being home.
Visit Rebecca at Recuerda mi Corazon to see other folks Marys for today.
