“Listen and let it penetrate your heart…do not be troubled or weighed down with grief.
Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain.
Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection?
Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle?
In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?”
-Mother Mary-
The Elements
Amazing Antique French Marian - note the incredible details on both sides! The inscription on the front is "Processio Solemnis Gand XX MAII MDCCCLV" ("Mass procession of Ghent, 20 MAY 1855 ') and on the reverse is "Conceptio Immaculata BMV VIII DEC MDCCCLIV" (The Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary 8 DEC 1854)...a truly special piece of religious history! (Please note any "greenish" tones in photos 3 and 4 are reflections of the forest outside my windows- the medal is a beautiful rich gold!)
