Catholic church flower lore, film reviews and more . . .
During the time between Good Friday and the Easter vigil, we think of Jesus' descent into the limbo of the patriarchs to free the just. Read more here.

We live in a time of vulgarity, irreverence -- and worse -- even in high places in church and state. We must not join in this. We need to frequently turn our minds to Our Lord, Our Lady, the angels and saints, and everything we know to be good, beautiful, and true.
We need to sanctify our homes in every way possible. We need statues, art, candles, music, books, and flowers that call our minds to higher things and refine us.
We need etiquette in our homes as well as in public places. We need to observe the proper order of things.
I hope that readers of this site will adapt information found here about church flowers to their "oratories" at home. I hope too that many will honor Our Lady with a Mary garden, whether it be outdoors or on a windowsill or table top. And I hope that our Queen will inspire us to remember that we are only as good as we are in private when we think no one is looking and forget that all of Heaven can see us.
