Our Lady of Vilnius -- one of the most moving Holiday card I received...she sees in to my soul
http://www.ausrosvartunyc.blogspot.com/
I have never met this amazing New York City Soul but she moves me with her compassion and her strength....her last blog entry is about prayers and faith...she refers to St. Brigids...
I am Jewish but I have a feeling for these beautiful churches that are such a resource to New Yorkers in many ways.
My maternal Grandfather born in a tenement house on Ludlow Street...his family made their way her from Lithuania.
I am praying for miracles of all sizes especially for New Yorkers and a Church that has such good souls as Our Lady of Vilnius.
I cannot erase the memory of parishioners crying and praying on the street after they were turned out. I watched them from the windows of my now ex-home of 20 years. The USPS sold the air rights over St. Ann's 12o East 12th Street to NYU so NYU could tear down St. Ann's from 1847 that had survived everything all these years but NYU's need and greed to build yet another dorm and the USPS lack of regard for the law -- the USPS was legally required to notify the State of NY and the USPS as usual felt they were above the law...
I read articles and watched the news...too many tears city wide of people being turned out of their churches and it hurt us all.
So I am praying 2010 makes greed and ruthlessness are forced to take a back seat and miracles of all kinds happen to help the people and what is left of the soul of New York.
Mike Bloomberg wants the city to be one soulless generic shopping mall.
There has got to be a better way....
I say save NYC's soul!!!!!!!
I am such a nerdy gal when I am not a wild artist. I treasure my NYPD pin with Lt. Petrisano's Badge No., a scarf I got from a very intelligent YouTubing muck racker. I focus on corruption in NYC and she takes on the major corporations and big government and I treasure this card on behalf of Our Lady of Vilnius....praying for miracles and your Church that provides so much continues on serving the community here in NYC.
