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!

He asked...

So tonight my husband asks me how my Adoration hour was. 

"Good," I answered, continuing to fold two basket loads of clean clothes.

Silence.

Husband: "Something wrong?"

Me:  "No.  I just have a lot on my mind."

Husband: "What could you possibly have on your mind?"

Those are fightin' word, my boy.

"Honey!...

  • "I have projects that are due...past due even."
  • "I need to remember to go this week and register the children for CCD."
  • "I need to check into ordering Kayleigh's cap and gown pictures."
  • "Did you forget I had a dental appointment this morning and had half my face bubbled up?"
  • "Don't forget I had to meet Kayleigh afterwards at the vet for that dumb dog."
  • "And I need to remember that Teal (son's dog) needs to go back in two weeks. Gotta make an appointment."
  • "And Corey decided he wants to go to college by taking night and online classes so I've been looking information up for him and trying to help him out."
  • "I have two talks I need to prepare."
  • "I need to call Kristi about the LEAP prep tutoring for Garrett."
  • "I'm in the middle of planning the 2007-2008 school years: books, curriculum, activities, etc."
  • Etc. Etc. Etc.

I think he was sorry he asked.

Just before I came to your blog, I made a vet and dentist appt., e-mailed about our little conference, and looked at past art studies to begin preparing...and dh walked in said "What are we having for lunch?" UMMMM....Anyway, if you want to smile, I blogged about our meeting yesterday--take a look!

I think my dh can have lots on his mind too sometimes, but they are completely different than the things on my mind. Mine are just like yours, with the exception of the pet related items.

Maybe he just forgot to add the 'not.' "Knowing how busy you are, Darling, what could you possibly NOT have on your mind." Husbands are adorable, even if they ask crazy questions sometimes!

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.
