    I'm also happy to be here (signed on August 31).

    I'm new to Catholicism, so if I seem a bit clueless...it's because at this point, I am! :X3:

    But hopefully my contributions will be of benefit.

    This is the Chihuahuan Desert, and yes it is pretty. And awfully hot this summer!

    I've never been to NH.

    Shalom welcome, if there's one thing I envy you for is the desert stars.

    Also looking at the Church with new eyes.

    You know Jesus must haveooked at the stars as you do. He was born right under a big one.

    Yes, the skies here are usually clear; excellent for stargazing. Very few mosquitos too!

    In Spanish star is Estrella

    In French Etoille.

    This very beautiful French Hymn is called, Crown of Star

    I didn't know the French word for star.

    The hymn is beautiful. :) I'll tag it.

    One day shortly we will hear the Angels Trumpets and the Stars form a Thrown for Mary at the Coming of her Son.

    Look to the heavens watch the Stars Read the Apocalypse.

    Just as Mary prepared a bed for His first coming.

    She prepares a bed for His Second Coming.

    Thank you Padraig, Sam, AED, Jo, Gracia - for the additional warm welcomes, comments, images, video. :)

    Yes, this area is beautiful. We'll be easing into Autumn by month's end. Our seasons here are "gentle" (aside from mid-summer).

    A warm welcome to you DS!
    I’m a cradle catholic, but I learn from the great faith of the more learned minds here of this blessed form.

    Bless!
