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!

The Simple Woman's Daybook for September 15, 2008

Do stop by Peggy’s for all of this week's Simple Woman Daybook links.

Outside my window. . .Calm

I am thinking. . . that it's been awhile since I've been able to sit down and write a Simple Woman Daybook. A certain amount of peace and calm are needed in the contemplation of this weekly journal. My life has been anything but peaceful and calm.

I am thankful for. . . co-op and dance being canceled today.

Sept_08_022From the kitchen. . . my kitchen cabinets are totally bare and void. My countertops are top heavy with the inners of my cabinets. I am purging, ripping up shelf paper, throwing away the mix-match variety of coffee mugs, and boxing old dishes to give-away.

I am creating. . . normalcy

I am going. . . to finish organizing the cabinets after writing my daybook entry.

I am wearing. . . my nightgown...still.

I am reading. . . Galveston's Summer of the Storm by Julie Lake

I am hoping. . . there will be no more hurricanes.

I am hearing. . . the newer version of Sway (sorry, Dean-'ol boy). It plays on the dance studio's website and I had to check in this morning for class updates post-Ike. The beat is so upbeat, I just left the window open and playing.

Around the house. . . the cat is scratching on a box Mark received last week from Fed Ex and hasn't been home to open due to hurricane duty at work.

One of my favorite things. . .a house still standing after a hurricane. Really.

A few plans for the rest of the week. . . honestly, I haven't even looked in my planner. Don't care to. I want this week to be as lazy as the Gulf is at this moment. I think soccer games are (were) suppose to start this week. We'll see.

I am praying...for all those who have lost so much in these storms.

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

Oh, thank you for the Scripture banner. I needed that after today. Lol.

By the way, we read our first Crinkleroot today. LOVED it!

Cay dear, Marianna and I just returned to the boat yesterday. What a mess! Before we haul all the beloved things down the dock to the boat we are going to purge everything else. It has got to go and now is the perfect time while everything is in disarray, right?

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.
