THE SEVENTH YEAR...

THE SEVENTH YEAR OF PRAYER at Mama Mary’s Table was fully streamed, increasing daily participation to 250-300. Prayers for healing and personal needs were brought to the Black Madonna’s Table in comments, hard copy, and shares. A full, online, nine days of 9 p.m. meditation, the same time Poland’s Bright Mountain Shrine broadcasts daily “Roll Calls” at Mama Mary’s ebony Altar/Table, focused on the symbolic elements of the miraculous icon. Each evening meditation opened the “why” and “how” of ancient, supernatural, mysteries characteristic of our God-bearing Mama. Among them were “Green Overshadowing,” “Spiritual Sign Language, “Earthtone Skin,” “Scarred Countenance,” “Earth and Heaven Robes,” “Star Crown.” Interwoven with intercessions, and select English adaptations of Black Madonna Hymns, participants related finding joy, inspiration, deeply felt comfort, and a sense that there is someone greater than their most pressing life challenges, who really cares.
