+JMJ+ Happy Mother’s Day, y’all! It’s a strange day this year. Not only do I miss my mom but I haven’t seen any of my friends for weeks. True, I do stay home most of the time anyway. Chronic illness does that to a person. But I used to get out sometimes. Oy! At least I have a gazillion projects to work on and some new ones, too. 

One thing I’m looking forward to this coming week is a 3-day virtual retreat with the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. 

Join scholars Dr. John Bergsma, Curtis Mitch, and Rob Corzine for a free three-day event celebrating Our Lady beginning May 13, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima.

Each morning will feature one talk illuminating different aspects of Mary’s role in Scripture and the Church.

Celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima and the month of Mary with this free retreat!

Enter your email [on the St Paul Center page] to be notified when each talk is live. Following the event, watch all talks through May 17. When you register, we’ll send you a bonus Scott Hahn video on “The Rosary of St. Joseph”!

This sounds so good! I signed up for it this morning and tweeted it out but only just now getting around to writing about it here on the blog. I hope you’ll get to attend. Check out the many offerings there on the St. Paul Center site. You’re sure to find something useful there. Online Bible study lessons, books, DVDs in their shop—and the new Quarantine Hub. Now that’s useful as all get out right now!

That’s all for now. I hope you’re having a happy and blessed Mother’s Day. Come back soon, ya heah? :) May the Lord bless and keep you and yours, now and always. Amen. +JMJ+
