CELEBRATIONS ... and Messages to Papa

Lots of love for tomorrow to our Maryjos, whose benaddiction seems to grow by the year. There's no cure, but a slice of cake and your favourite DVD (maybe one of the Papal masses?) should alleviate symptoms for the day (or conversely, make them worse, if possible).

Hey, Mary, congratulations! Have a great birthday! Rumor has it that Papa was planning a surprise visit and party for you but the Swiss Guards thought it was too high a security risk and wouldn't let him go. However, I am sure he is raising a glass of champagne to his most loyal fan as we speak. Enchoy!

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Mary. Happy birthday to you. And many more!!!

Hope you have a great day tomorrow and that the year to come is full of only nice things!

Thanks for the wonderful birthday wishes and the glittery message from Clare!!!!
So far Papa hasn't turned up at my house, but this part of dozy England is such a high security risk!!!!
I'm sure he's had a little drop of champagne to toast me!
I'm in the middle of watching the Mass from Stefansdom, Vienna - enchoying that wonderful Haydn Mariazellermesse!!!! Papa - you should know that I've ordered that mass on CD and can't wait to get it. Just a little birthday gift to myself!!!!!
Yes, I get worse all the time. Benaddition is incurable, but oh so pleasant!!!!!
Thanks again to all of you! And thank God for the friendships we have all made here!
Luff, Mary x

Dear MaryJos - I must apologize for coming to the thread late, as my 'routine' always gets thrown off whenever I have to make up for a considerable absence form the Forum.

Allow me to add my best wishes, prayers and love to that offered by the rest of the Forum, as you celebrate your birthday today. How auspicious that your birthday falls on the 19th of the month! You have something more in common with the Holy Father.

I hope the day is all you wish for, and that Hutch is helping you to celebrate.

RATZIBACI!!!

Ooooops, dearest Mary, please forgive me for being too late.
I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to you and many happy returns of the day.
Hopefully you had a nice birthday celebration and Hutch was able to share it with you.

I had never once thought about that! 19th April, 19th September. How I truly would love to tell Papa!
Thanks Teresa and Simone for adding to those good wishes. I am now one year and one day older.
My mother once told me I wasn't due until October 3rd, but, as always with me, I have to be in a hurry.........especially when a flight to Rome beckons me.
Luff, peez und choy to you all!

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Simone. Happy birthday to you. And many more!!! May the day be happy and the year filled with peace, love and joy!

Liebe Simone, Ich wuensche Dir alles Gute zum Geburtstag und im folgenden Jahr!!!!

Wie geht's? Schreib mir ein email wenn Du die Zeit hast.

Alle Liebe! Mary xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Hi, girls, thank you so much for all your dear birthday greetings!
Again a year is over and I got a few more grey hairs, but it doesn't matter.
There is nothing wrong on grey hairs, isn't it?
I'm doing fine so far, that's the main thing.

Carpe diem!

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Clare!!! Happy birthday to you! And many more!!! Hope the day and the year to come are filled with happiness and love.

FIRST, TO SIMONE:



whom I owe a thousand MEA CULPA's for failing to add my greetings here in a timely manner



AND TO CLARE ON HER BIG DAY TODAY:




LOVE, PRAYERS, AND TONS OF RATZIBACI!!!!!!

Thanks everyone!! I had a lovely day, and really appreciated all the kind wishes from people here. God bless!!

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.


I'm especially thankful this year for Papa, this forum, and the wonderful people I have met through it. Eat hearty and enjoy the day!

I believe it is also our second anniversary on the Forum,
so it's a good time to say a MEGA-




TO EVERYONE IN THE FORUM
FOR THE REWARDING COMPANIONSHIP OF BENADDICTION

TO OUR BELOVED BENEDICT WHO INSPIRES US ALL
AND CONFIRMS US DAILY IN OUR FAITH

AND TO THE LORD FOR ALL JOYS GREAT AND SMALL,
FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, HEALTH AND LIFE ITSELF.



P.S. Argent by the Tiber used this card on her blog today, and I want to save it -
Spent quite some time yesterday looking for just such a greeting online but all
I could find were turkeys and such - all secular - before I found the neutral GIFs above.

Wishing all American friends and lurkers a wonderful day full of friendship and joy!

“Heaven is not empty
Life is not
a simple product of laws
and the randomness of matter,
but within everything
and at the same time
above everything
there is a personal will
there is a Spirit
who in Jesus has revealed himself as Love”.

Benedetto XVI, Spe Salvi, n. 5.



AsiaNews wishes all its readers
a Holy Christmas and
