The signs of the times, even a sacred place is not spared the wrath of mother nature.

Blessed Virgin Mary pray for us. Sadly this is happening when it is Your birthday. 🌹 ❤

It is a bit sad cause on her birthday people travel the most. As long as people were safe I'm sure she wouldn't mind. Have a blessed day to all who read this comment. Also, I'm surprised duckies didn't show up to mass yesterday. 😂

Abortionists from New Jersey USA punished me for not having an abortion.
