I am in Lourdes.
Do symbolic actions mean anything?
I wrote your names on rose petals, one by one, saying your prayer, I dropped them into the river by the grotto. They moved quickly, swirling and rushing with the current.
Letting go and letting be.
Holy Water

I’m sitting in my Silent Garden (my garden for prayers) reading The Song of Bernadette. My prayers are with you, with Shelley and with the son of your friends today dear Corey.
And also with all of you who commented here yesterday. -
This is beautiful.
Letting go and letting be . . . . . .reminded me to “Let Go and Let God”
He does hear our prayers. -
Sometimes it is difficult to let go and leave things in God’s hands, we hold onto things with tight fists thinking that we are able to cope by ourselves. Thank you for the reminder that we have to let it be and prayers will be answered.

I am often moved to tears when I come here, for the beauty of your words, your kindness & thoughtfulness of others, for touching the soul with your glimpses of places and things that are only found in dreams.
Bless you Corey and all those whose names are written on rose petals by you today. -
rose petals, wishes, holy water and grottos – how can the message not be received when done with such care? May blessings shower you today…

Corey,
Wow….you are a special person indeed! As I go into surgery on Friday morning I will repeat your words “Letting Go and Letting Be” I will turn it all over to God and it will turn out fine.
Thanks for such a kind act you did for so many of us!
May God Bless You! -

I can’t believe I missed this and the last post, Corey! How wonderful for you, that you were able to visit this holy place. I have been to Knock twice, where the Blessed Mother appeared… and I was overwhelemd with the love there. I made a decsion then to try and visit every site of Mary’s apparitions- Lourdes is to be my next visit.
God bless you, Corey, for all you do for us.

Rose petals soft and gentle just like whispers caressing our lady’s tender heart, the thorns of grief and sorrow removed and just the softest prayers. Merci cher Corey.

Yes, I really believe they do mean something. The intention is holy, and the Lord feels that intention, I believe…
🙂 -
What a moving thing to have done, Corey. I include myself, after the fact, in this wonderful act of loving kindness.
Love, (another) Shelley -
Symbolic actions can be just as powerful as any others, I think – what a wonderful, beautiful gesture.
-
WOW! That is so beautiful and moving! I can’t get the image out of my head…
Thank you so much!
Paix, Wendy -
Thank you! You’re such a romantic.
-
Corey, I’m sorry I missed the post prior to this one.
Please know that symbolic actions mean EVERYTHING. You’re an amazing woman. x -
You are too kind to do that Corey….muchly appreciated!
loving this blogging community… -
Wow.
Guess I need to find one of those gorgeous Opuntias in bloom now, and write your name (ow!) on a petal.
🙂
(Did you know the Opuntia — most know it as Prickly Pear or Nopal — is botanically related to the rose? Wishing you more roses with fewer thorns…)
