This icon was written/painted by one of our forum members, 70x7 (Ray) in honor of the nun/martyr of Paris and Ravensbruck Concentration Camp, Saint Maria +31 March, 1945. She along with four others were glorified by the Ecumenical Patriarchate in May 2004. Some background on her and the others can be found at this website. In IC XC, Father Anthony+ |

She is a great Saint. Get the book by Jim Forest for your kids or any kids you love in your life! Her story is deeply moving.

A beautiful icon, as is always the case with those which Ray paints. Saint Maria, pray for us.

How blessed we are to have yet another follower of Christ who did the "right thing" in loving God and loving one's neighbor. Too often we focus on the upper-level folks and the mucky-mucks. And here is a woman who just prayed and did what the Holy Spirit inspired her to do according to the Gospel. Would that the rest of us could have her graces.
Lord, be merciful to us.
