My Memorare

My dear friend Elaine cross-stitched a beautiful Memorare for me and gave it to me for my recent birthday. I was floored, awed, and overwhelmed that she devoted so much of her free-time and talent for months to me. As she stitched, she prayed the Memorare over and over again for my intentions.

I have now found a home for this treasure in our dining room, on either side of the china hutch: a Marian theme!

To the right is this fabric rendition (I don't know the kind of stitching) of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, which we received as a wedding gift.

To the left is my precious Memorare!
