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!

Us too... we had a "garden" last year but the Coastal Bermuda took over rather quickly. We had the best luck just putting lots of grape tomatoes around the house...

We miss having a garden, but after years of the deer eating plants before fruit even set, we gave up. Our new location has even more deer. Hubby jokes that they are the 'pets' as we often have 5 to a dozen in the yard most days. Good luck growing lots of yummy vegetables.

Also, I've given you an award on my blog:

Now I'm off for some warm tea as Maryland is NOT as mild as Louisiana. The boys love the snow, but I'm missing Mardi Gras parades and king cake right now (grew up in Slidell.)

Beautiful garden, Cay! I love our little backyard garden and we've been eating fresh lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, and parsley out of it for several weeks now.

You can do it! Especially with all the awesome help you will get from the kiddos. You can plan potatoes and peas and onions right now... just to name a few. :-)

Alice,
We've planted potatoes and bush beans and onions and carrots so far.
