The Parable of the Three Peas

the Pea Pod story is so poignant because it illustrates the three ways in which we can confront discomfort and growth. n a beautiful garden, there flourished a pea plant and in time this pea plant brought forth a pod containing three peas. One day, strong winds blew the pea pod from the plant to the ground. Upon hitting the ground, the pea pod spilled open, scattering the three peas onto the dirt.   The first pea looked around, saw the dark and damp earth and said to itself, “It is dirty and dark and damp out here. I feel so uncomfortable.” And so, it crept back into the pea pod and drew the two halves together to keep itself warm and dry.   The second pea looked around, saw the dark and damp earth and said to itself, “It is dirty and dark and damp out here. I feel so uncomfortable and I stick out like a sore thumb.” And so, it immediately burrowed itself into the dark, damp earth and covered itself with mud until no one could tell that the green pea was there any more.   The third pea looked around, saw the dark and damp earth and said to itself, “It is dirty and dark and damp out here…what this place needs is a lot more green!” So, the third pea put down its roots, germinated and grew into a tall pea plant above the dark, damp earth and in time produced a fine crop of fresh, green pea pods.   [Original author unknown- possibly Morris Venden]

MAY, THE MONTH OF MARY!

Lovely Lady Dressed In Blue Lovely Lady dressed in blue- Teach me how to pray! God was just your little boy, Tell me what to say! Did you lift Him up sometimes, Gently on your knee? Did you sing to Him the way Mother does to me? Did you hold His hand at night? Did you ever try Telling stories of the world? O! And did He cry? Do you really think He cares If I tell Him things- Little things that happen? And Do the Angel's wings Make a noise? And can He hear Me if I speak low? Does He understand me now? Tell me--for you know! Lovely Lady dressed in blue- Teach me how to pray! God was just your little boy And you know the way. Author Unknown   MARY, QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. Each time that we say the Hail Mary we are repeating the very same words with which St. Gabriel the Archangel saluted Mary on the day of the Annunciation, when she was made Mother of the Son of God. Many graces and joys filled the soul of Mary at that moment. Now when we say the Hail Mary we offer anew all these graces and joys to Our Lady and she accepts them with Immense delight. In return she gives us a share in these joys. HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE, THE LORD IS WITH THEE, BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN, AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB, JESUS. HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, PRAY FOR US SINNERS, NOW, AND IN THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH. AMEN.
