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!

What's a Book-Walk?

ReadingclipartThis week I hosted the first Virtual Book-Walk.  I really wasn't sure how it would go but it was FUN-tas-tical and was very well-received.  I'm so glad.  So glad you all enjoyed yourselves.  : )  So glad I finally got to "meet" so many of you who visit my little blog.

I loved all the nice emails that skipped into my email box like eager children skipping around the numbers on a Cake Walk, because that's the whole concept.

Remember those Cake Walks at your church festival?  That's where the idea of a Book-Walk comes from.  It's a chance to feel like a kid again...and win a free prize. 

But I cannot take credit for the idea.  A librarian on a children's writer forum I'm on was hosting a book-walk for the teenagers at the next PTA meeting at their school.  I thought it was a marvelously inventive idea and adopted it to fit a Virtual Book-Walk here on my blog.

A sweet idea, isn't it?  (Pun intended.)

The Book-Walk was so much fun that I've decided to keep hosting it. 

First I need a sweet little button.  Does anyone know of a button-site I can peruse?  One with cute graphics?

Next, if there are any writers out there wanting to donate a book for another Book-Walk, please email me.

Stay tuned.  There will be more Book-Walks coming up...just in time for Christmas.  : )

Hey Cay--Alice said she'll make you a cute button, just e-mail...she's been being crafty, not bloggy lately.

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.
