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!

Simple Woman's Daybook for July 28th, 2008

Don’t forget to stop by Peggy’s for all the links entered in this week’s Simple Woman’s Daybook.

Outside my window. . . my sister-in-law is outside on her back porch watering her plants

I am thinking. . .that I am ready for school to start but not for the activities that go with it.

I am thankful for. . .life!

From the kitchen (at some point today). . . a fresh pot of coffee, a pot of chicken noodle soup (dh seems to be catching a summer cold :( ), and a watermelon cake (HT from Danielle).

I am creating. . .a talk for next month.

I am going. . . to the store then to the Children's Museum or SPAR today.

I am wearing. . .a yellow top, blue jean capris, barefeet

I am reading. . . A Charlotte Mason Companion by Karen Andreola because, like Danielle, I pull it off the bookshelf at least once or twice and year and am always assured a rejuvenation of spirit.

I am hoping. . .my husband's blood tests come back negative for anything serious.

I am hearing. . .the house dog scratching to come inside.

I am praying for...test results expected today or tomorrow.

Around the house. . .Kayleigh and her friend are in the kitchen, eating breakfast, planning a cooking night for their friends, and talking about college plans...my neighbor's son just delivered five boxes of hsing books in my sitting room for me to surf through and bring to the upcoming hs conference...the girls' room is in desperate need of a good decluttering/clean-up.

One of my favorite things. . .Annie's new bob haircut, it fits her personality perfectly.

A few plans for the rest of the week. . . the calendar is blank...oh, happy day!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you. . .

Reflection_006(Meme and PawPaw had 4 sons, 15 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren...there are lots of personalities and quirks and hidden feelings represented in this family photo...and only half of the Gibson Gang is shown here! the only ones who were within shouting distance when the photo was taken on the spur of the moment...but it's family...it's our family...and we love being a part of "the gang")

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.
