"...I have calmed and quieted my soul..." (Psalm 131)

Tucked away in the forest not too far from the U.S. border is a small Marian shrine.  Perched on the edge of a mountain range, this refuge of peace and prayer offers a great view of Lake Superior. 

The path to the shrine. 
The Stations of the Cross are posted along the way.

The Fifteenth Station (The Resurrection)

Approaching the shrine...

The Statue of the Madonna and Child
