#116 -- Happy Ending

That's the prompt this week: Happy Ending. Maybe you can write a short fable with a happy ending, or you can reimagine a scenario you know of to give it a happy ending you wish it had had. Or, you can just write about "endings." What "endings" are there in life, besides the obvious one? (You can write about that too.)

And for fun, here's a link to some preposterous (and very imaginative) prompts that you will never find here. Bonus points if you do any of them!

#115 - Guide

Take this in any way you like! A guide could be a person, place, or thing. It could be a set of instructions for life, for you, for those living with you, or it could be a person who showed you the way somehow. It could be a map, a list, a character, a feeling, an angel, a book, or anything you like!

#114 - My Nights

What do you do at night? At different times in your life, how have you spent your nights? Is there any one night in your memory that stands out for any reason, as the most memorable night of your life?

Write about your nights!

Nine years on

Nine years ago, on the feast of the Queenship of Mary, the Transalpine Redemptorists took possession of Papa Stronsay. Each year, in her honour, we have a procession around the entire Island, begging her to protect us , her children, and this her island from the attacks of men and of the devil. For this reason also, three years ago, Papa Stronsay and everything on it was consecrated to the same Holy Virgin, and this consecration has been renewed each year on the feast of her Queenship. This year God blessed us with beautiful weather, and we proudly bore the images of our Mother and Queen around her island.

(If you 'left click' on any image it will increase its size)

The procession nears the 'minor light' of Papa Stronsay.

The final stretch of the procession took us along the beach. The Orkney Ferry can be seen leaving Stronsay in the background.

Finaly, the image of Our Mother of Perpetual Succour was borne to the chapel, where it was enthroned on the altar, and the consecration of Papa Stronsay to Our Lady was renewed.

Most Holy Mother, continue to guide and bless your poor children who cry out to thee for succour!
