VA2, Ep. 13, The Heart with a Crown of Thorns

On May 13th the feast of the Virgin of Fatima is celebrated. In her apparitions to three children who were shepherds in Portugal, she revealed secrets and prophecies about the state of the world. I honor her as I continue the stories of my Mother’s life, who despite the continuing challenges and complications, committed to jumping into the abyss of Marriage and followed her heart, which already was adorned with a growing crown of thorns. The sweet and the sour elements of human existence unite us; voicing stories is a powerful tool to dissolve the many ways we devise to create divisions among us.
