Sacred Heart of Jesus novena and roses for Mary

I missed Mass this weekend due to MS issues and that always makes me sad.  This is such a frustrating disease but I started praying a novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Last year, I had different MS issues and said this novena and my symptoms receded. 

Here's a link to an article I wrote about the Sacred Heart of Jesus novena.

This morning, my husband, who is on this journey with me, clipped some of our roses and ran them up to the Mary statue at our church.  (We live about three seconds from the church, three minutes on foot.)  There was something so sweet and gentle about him doing that.  I've got a good man!  I thank God for him, every single day.
