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!

3 Good Reasons to Order "A Picture Perfect Childhood" This Week

Cupcakes_2If you have postponed ordering A Picture Perfect Childhood I would like to encourage you to do so now.  And I have three very good reasons why you should.

The first reason is because this is the last week it will be offered at the introductory price of $13.95.  The price will go up on February 1st.

The second reason is because of the Book Walk Bonanza we'll be throwing this week for everyone who has purchased A Picture Perfect Childhood through the month of January.  That's right! Everyone who ordered a copy of A Picture Perfect Childhood this month will have their name put into the Book Walk Cake Bowl for four drawings of picture books donated by Flashlight Press.

And the third reason, but by far not the least, is that every year a percentage of sales will go towards purchasing new illustrated books which will be donated to St. Jude Children's Hospital.  You can help change the atmosephere and imagery that a child experiences from that hospital bed.

Watch my blog tomorrow for more details.  Happy Reading!

A Book Walk just for those of us who've ordered A Picture Perfect Childhood -- how fun. I'm excited about that, but am even more excited to know that, since I ordered in early January with some Christmas gift money, my copy of A Picture Perfect Childhood should be arriving here any day now. I can't wait to read it!

I am so grateful to Maureen Wittmann for steering her readers over here. I came a few weeks ago and got really excited about your book, but when I tried to order it I received a "sold out" message. So I'm thrilled that I was able to successfully order it today, and I can't wait until it arrives!

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.
