Father Litzner came over yesterday to drop off a statue of the Blessed Mother we are housing for a week. While he was here I requested he bless our garden since it was a Rogation day. The boys were great helpers. I am sure we will have a bountiful garden now. Anyone want to come help can in the fall???
The boys listened to Father and then they followed in his footsteps ALL the way around the garden.

Rogation day? I've gardened and been catholic all my life and this just isn't ringing a bell at all. Must be important though if means the garden gets a blessing...

This link gives a brief explanation of rogation days. There have been priests at my parents church that have come up to the fields and blessed them for us. We don't have any fields, but I figured a garden is just as good. It was a good opportunity to actually live the liturgical seasons for the boys.
Fr. Hathaway just blessed our fields actually.. well you probably already knew that Karen ;) since you know more about thats happening here than i, since i was in Fl :P
