Divine Mercy Sunday

What a beautiful day Divine Mercy Sunday is! The second Sunday of Easter is Divine Mercy Sunday -- a day to reflect on God's infinite mercy and love. Yesterday was extra special, because Pope John Paul II was beatified and is now Blessed Pope John Paul II! It was also our 18th wedding anniversary.

In other news, Osama bin Laden was killed. We need to pray for his soul. I found a great Catholic response to his death here: The Catholic Response to the Death of a Murderer

Here is a picture my son took of hubby and I after Mass yesterday:

Pope John Paul II Rose

We are planningour garden adventures already. We've got seeds for our "Bunny Garden" and we searched for a few plants at the garden center yesterday. We were excited to see that Jackson and Perkins has a new Hybrid Tea Rose named after Pope John Paull II.

A percentage of the purchase price goes to benefit a cuase close to John Paul II's heart. The link below will bring you to a picture of the rose. It was cheaper at the garden center than it is to purchase on-line.

John Paul II Rose Every Catholic family needs this in their garden! The J&P site says that this rose is growing in the Vatican's private garden.

Another favorite of mine is Our Lady of Guadalupe-- the purchase of this rose alos raises money for a cause. I had one at my last house and loved the pink roses so much that we planted one here. You can also see OLOG rose on their website.
