One of the many blessings of our parish is the Rose Garden. With more than 50 bushes within the garden, there are always more than a few that keep the "beauty" flowing through the season - when some are losing their flowers, others blossom beautifully. Kind of like the Body of Christ, with it's times of full blossom and other times of rejuvination, when the beauty may not be as readily seen, but is there, nonetheless.
The rose that "wins" this week is truly salve for the sight! God be glorified in all the beauty He's created for us to enjoy!
