A narrow path made of tiny pebbles leads into the wooded side of my yard.  Her grotto consists of her stone figure with a string of beads around her neck.  I was not always a Catholic, but the Virgin 
Mary was one of the first reasons I wanted to become one.
I learned that by the power of the holy spirit, she became pregnant with Jesus.  It was God’s plan that He would come to earth for our 
Salvation.  
I know I can never be holy like Mary, but she loved Jesus like I do.  She knows my needs and tells God.  She lives with Him.
Do you have a heavenly person that you talk to?  Or another spirit creature who gives you peace?
