My Mother Loves Me

I recently heard Kimberly Hahn describe her response to finding a penny.  When she sees a random penny, she says to herself, "My Mother loves me!"  She refers both to her Mom and the Blessed Mother!  She used this practice to help her form more of a personal relationship with Mary.  She teaches her children to do this, too, and sometimes sneaks pennies into their pockets or lunch boxes. She said she's dumped entire rolls of pennies into kids' bags when they go off to school! 

Isn't that cool!  I love this!

I have been doing it ever since, and I am finding pennies everywhere!


My Mother loves me!!

OK, what am I missing here? How is a penny related to the Blessed Mother?

Lisa said...

Awwww! And you can tell Abigail, "All THREE of your mothers love you!" What a blessed little girl.

Maria-- I don't think there's any real connection to Mary here, but there's been a meaning/reminder attached to something that has no meaning.
