clyde, my perfidious son!--(LOL,(((Scott))) ;-D) Yes, 'tis I. And sheesh! A saint lets loose a hairstylist for the most holy day of her sacred canonization and you assume she's some sort of punk-rocker! No, my son...mere curling iron and hair pulled back into a formal "up-(and down) do", as it is known, I think, in the trade...
And my fine saints-in-training are a bit younger than your own son...
Bless you, my (((friend.))) :-)
Is that really you? You actually look like I thought you would!
Though I think that picture may be from the mid-to-late 80's, given the hair style (and that I think I remember that you have teenagers!)
Hey!!! You, you...Why of all the low down--I mean, Buggsy Beloved! I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul, my child!
Only Jesus' feet...
"...And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment..."
LOL! Greetings, Steven, my child! Sainte Adelphe Marie is bathed in the light and warmth of the Lord God. You, on the other hand, are indeed destined to be hot stuff... :-D. No, really, you are a very interesting (steven) guy. I have every trust you will watch your language on AD, my son, and thus I am polishing your halo now. ;-)
Brothers, "And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price." ;-D Thank you for stopping by to pay tribute to the goodly Sainte. She has lifted up her heart in prayer for you. Go in peace, my brethren...(And Cap'n--LOL!)
Adelphe,
"Ma'am" is simple prescriptive etiqutte where I live for addressing a lady one is not personally acquainted with.
I will reserve "Your Holiness" for the unlikely chance that I will meet either The Pope or the Dalai Lama.
Though we do not agree on theistic issues, I do appreciate your sense of humor, caustic though it may be as times.
lol OMG *breathe* lolol... Oui, "Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grace..." Elle est toujours representee dans ses voiles, non? Et ce, oui, est elle...palpitation de...coeur?
What is "rather like the Virgin Mary" supposed to mean, apparently as opposed to "bona fide saint"?
Anyway, yes, I can see something not entirely (or not only?) heavenly throbbing underneath those "holy veils".
