This is about Mary, the Mother of God and mother of us all. For those who aren't Catholic, Catholics don't worship Mary, we honor her and pray for her intercession, just as people ask other people to pray for them. Mary brings us to Jesus.

I recorded this to sound like something the early Beatles would have done. There are about ten Beatle songs referenced in it. My children (now all adults) were singing on this and I like the end where they can be heard laughing.

This is about striving to follow God but continually falling. I have to remind myself that God is concerned more that we try and is not looking for perfection in the way that we often see it.

This as written about the way of the world - often so opposite from the way of God, and that we are so far off center today that wrong is seen as right and right seen as wrong.

Eat, bathe then sleep, it warms to think of that way…
