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!

A Little Sprinkle of Pumpkins Everywhere

PumpkinWhat happens when you wait until the middle of October to check out pumpkin books from the library?

No copies currently available shows up repeatedly on the computer log.

I suppose November is still a good time to check out pumpkin books.Latte

And tonight my husband is taking me to Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice Latte'.  Thanks to Dawn for the coffee tip.

If you can't leave home, not to worry.  Here's you a mock Pumpkin Spice Latte' recipe to heat up and enjoy with your hubby next to the fireplace.

I had some foresight and checked out some books on fall themes, but experienced the same results when I went back for more selections this week. Quite frustrating!

Jenn,
I just raided our home bookshelves and found several fall/pumpkin books which we read every year at this time. They are old friends the children love coming back to but we love to meet new friends too. :)

We're still planning a trip to the library today to see if we can find some crumbs on the shelves. :)

Table time is moving very slowly today...must be the weather...so we haven't finished up in record time like we usually do.

Cay, how did you like the latte? I tried one last week and it was *delicious* ... a subtle pumpkin flavor and excellent coffee. :)

Thanks for the link, btw!

Dawn,
I was yummy and, yes, subtle. I fully expected more of a pumpkin flavor with my first sip and was a little surprised how subtle it was. Still good though. ;)

Next trip I plan to get their maple macchiato. Haven't tried that one yet. :)
