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!

Cajun Cottage Candlemas Daybook

For Today I'm Following my own Cajun Cottage version of the Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window. . . calm, gray, cleansed

I am thinking. . . about taxes and the economy. Dreary, yes?

I am thankful for. . . grandparents who come to the rescue.

From the schoolroom. . .

  • the girls and I are saddling up and getting back on the colonial/pioneer wagon this week with our lapbook that got left in the dust during the Christmas holidays
  • make a money lapbook
  • read Warm as Wool and create a lapbook
  • continue math with Teaching Textbooks

From the kitchen. . .  a line-up of cough and cold medicines, cough drops, homeopathic remedies, chicken noodle soup, and frozen strawberries in glasses of Sprite

I am wearing. . . blue jeans, blue t-shirt with a garden scene on front, barefeet (goodness! same thing I was wearing for my last daybook entry!)

I am creating. . . lists! to-do lists! shopping lists! project lists! reading lists! prayer lists! the lists go on...

I am going. . . no where. I have a sick child and am staying home.

I am reading. . .I'm obsessed with my Sonlight catalog at the moment.

I am (still) hoping. . .to get some serious writing projects done this year. Please pray for these and me.

I am hearing. . .you don't want to know. 

I am praying...that this cold bug acts like a responsible American citizen and takes a bailout plan real soon.

Observing the Liturgical Calendar: Candlemas Day: a day for purification and presentation and procession and blessings and candles.

Around the house. . . sick cold germs here...be glad you can visit through a buffer-zone

One of my favorite things. . . a pretty little cousin showing up at our door and extending an equally pretty invitation for us to attend her Valentine Day birthday party!  I cannot say how this brightened my day because I do love February. I always think of red hearts, candy, sparkles, Dove chocolate, cotton-candy snow, and roses!  Despite our sicknesses, if there is a Valentine party and birthday party on the horizon it makes the whole month beautiful!

A few plans for the rest of the week. . . Still avoiding looking at my planner for the week. Sometimes taking it day by day is a good thing.

Here is picture thought I am sharing. . .Chelsea rocking her sister's godchild.Rockingari

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.
