| lady's slipper |
The lady's slipper flower symbolizes the walk our Lady took to visit St. Elizabeth. This journey has always impressed me. Mary took this trip right after she found our she was pregnant with our savior. Instead of worrying about herself being an unmarried pregnant teenager, she went to her cousin, Elizabeth's house to help. Elizabeth herself was pregnant with John the Baptist. How wonderful this must have been for Elizabeth to have her young cousin there for comfort.
Mary has always been a comfort to me. I run to her like a child often because I know she is my heavenly mother and her prayers calm me. As I walk through my everyday life, I see so many women that remind me of Mary with their simple acts or loving smiles. I see Mary everywhere and truthfully I am always searching for her. She is all around guiding us to her Son, all we have to do is pay attention.
