If you want to go to heaven . . .



The caption reads that this 1 year old child, Anna Maria, often tiptoes around the garden and then will stop in front of the statue of Mary in full babble.

She knows instinctively what we all know intuitively but often learn the hard way:

The best man for the job is often a woman.

"And a little child shall lead them."

(But, wouldn't you really love to know what she was saying?)

  2. Perhaps she is reporting to the "Queen of Angels" on how she did with those last minute instructions. I hope she is also putting in a good word for all the women clergy who are under attack these days. God bless the tiny mystics who still remember how to talk to the saints and angels.
