Erin and John now have a daughter. Jonah now has a sister. Her name is Rosemary Grace.
On my “must do” list for the Holy Land was to find and bring back a gift for Rosie to give her for her birth and at her baptism.
Rose. Mary. Grace. Hmm.
Rose-ary. Good idea.
Mary, full of Grace. Good prayer.
It was easy to decide and to find.
The rosary is made of rose petals. Perfect for the “rose” and the “Mary” parts of Rosemary Grace!
Mary and Joseph, the baby and the donkey are made from olive wood. Perfect for the “Mary” and the “grace” parts of Rosemary Grace!
The rose-ary and the olive wood are from Bethlehem.
Rosemary Grace is from Miami Township.
It will all come together on Labor Day weekend, when we baptize Rosemary Grace as we pour the water, and when we pray a “Hail Mary, full of grace” as we hold her.
