1068. an old lady in prayer

 

in your waning years
you sit and finger worn beads
… mary full of grace  🦊❤️
•••
in the quiet church
your whispered prayers echoing
i sit and listen 🦊❤️

Yesterday we walked into a beautiful Catholic church in Lambertville Pennsylvania. It was mid morning and the church was empty except for a cleaning woman and an old lady who was sitting in the front pew praying the Rosary. I noticed that the church used real candles in their votive candle sanctuary for visitors to light and say a prayer on. Most churches have resorted to using timed electronic candles. I stood silently, pulled out the requested $2.00 donation from my wallet, lit a votive candle and whispered a little prayer. 🦊❤️
