Praying for Matthew Karol

Prayer During Hurricane Season

  • Prayer for Hurricane Season
    O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; you are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control. The Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen. Originally dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Audrey in 1957. - Fr. Al Volpe, Cameron Parish, LA

Prayer to End Abortion

  • Prayer to End Abortion
    Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself Never to be silent, Never to be passive, Never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, And never to stop defending life Until all my brothers and sisters are protected, And our nation once again becomes A nation with liberty and justice Not just for some, but for all, Through Christ our Lord. Amen!

Book Meme

My Book Meme...

Thanks to two special friends, I've been tagged twice by Denise at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Exchange and Alice at Cottage Blessings .

Pitifully honest, I will admit to never being able to just read one book at a time.  I really tried to think of only one for each category but I have poor self-control when it comes to books.  :)

1)  THE BOOK THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE:   All The Way Home by Mary Pride & Seasons of a Mother's Heart by Sally Clarkson

2)  ONE BOOK YOU'VE READ MORE THAN ONCE:   Padre Pio: The True Story by Bernard Ruffin and The Read Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease

3)  ONE BOOK YOU'D WANT ON A DESERT ISLAND:  A Right to Be Merry by Mother Mary Francis

4)  ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU LAUGH:  Please Don't Drink the Holy Water by Susie Lloyd

5)  ONE BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY:  A Grief Unveiled by Gregory Floyd (I've also read this book several times and turn into a bowl full of sobbing mush every single time)  Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls needs to go here too

6)  ONE BOOK THAT YOU WISH HAD BEEN WRITTEN:  A book by my friend Alice

7)  ONE BOOK THAT YOU WISH HAD NEVER BEEN WRITTEN:  The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Fowler  (I'm sorry but it doesn't even deserve a link---am I a meanie, or what!)

8)  ONE BOOK YOU'RE CURRENTLY READING: Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

9)  ONE BOOK YOU'VE BEEN MEANING TO READ:  To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (I did finally read it this past Easter vacation---excellent!)

10) TAG FIVE OTHER BOOKLOVERS:

House Prayer

  • (Adapted from Our Lady of the Oaks Retreat House Prayer)
    God our Father, Open our hearts to your Presence. Open our minds to your Guidance. Open our lives to your Love, Through the intercession of Our Lady Bless us, bless our family and our home. Make us an instrument of your peace And a sign of your presence. Unite us to your Son, Jesus, in such a way That all who see and know us may see and know Jesus. By our unity to Him on Earth, Unite us to Him Forever in Heaven. With faith and confidence We ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord. Amen.
