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!

Louisiana Governor's Spiritual Journey

I realized when I went to link this article that I didn't have a category for Politics.

Not strange at all. I pretty much avoid political discussions with everyone but my dear husband. Outside of the moral issues, politics makes my eyes glaze over.  With age and since 9-11, I am trying to be more informed and better versed in what is happening in our country.

This year my oldest daughter gets to vote and she does ask questions and is eager to cast her vote.  So we talk.

But the reason I added a new category entitled "Politics" is because I want to share this article concerning the spiritual journey of Louisana's new Governor Bobby Jindal: Rebel with a Cause

Though this blog will never become a political forum, we are, here in Louisiana, keeping our eyes on Governor Jindal and I might, in the future, share more political observations about him.

Cay,

Gov. Jindal was at our state conference and spoke passionately about his faith and the need that all politicians have for prayer from their constituents. It was awesome. He truly is a wonderful man. He pushed his next appointment back almost 30 minutes so that he could greet and take pictures with anyone that wanted them.

He rocks.

Kimberly,
I got to hear him speak last year at New LIfe Counseling's annual banquet.

Very pro-life, very knowledgeable, well-spoken, very family-oriented, and very passionate.

Louisiana is blessed to have him.

Btw, I hated missing the state conference. I need to get the tapes. I know Brandie has some. Do you have extras? Or where can I get them?

Cay,
You can email me and I'll forward the request to the people in charge of CDs. They'll let you know what to do from there.

Thank you for the link to the article, Cay. I'm praying that Senator McCain will choose Governor Jindal as his running mate. I believe he truly is a good man.
