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!

A Nature Perfect Birthday

Sept_08_077Meet the snake eating a lizard outside my kitchen window.

Who says birthdays aren't exciting as you get older?

Actually, Corey and David (who were in the outside cabin watching a movie and eating birthday cake when they received a frantic call from Mom on the cell phone) said it was the most exciting birthday they've had since they turned 10!

Since it was my two outdoorsy guys' birthday, I'm delighted I was able to provide some late night entertainment.

Yes, as crazy homeschoolers, we all stood around watching (and taking photos of) the whole gory process.

I'm literally scared to go outside in the dark now, folks.

Gasp! That poor little lizard! And that HORRIBLE snake! I love lizards and hate to see ANY of them killed. They eat mosquitoes and are one of the most colorful and cutest of creatures...to watch them is so much fun. SNAKES are creatures I could readily do without. I hope that snake gets a stomachache over his dinner of that poor little lizard!

Oh my! What a show. It's even amazing to me that you have those types of animals outside your home! I'm used to those in a zoo, not my backyard - wow...
