For Adam

Posted on by justafatsassygrandma

Father, thank you for this new day. Thank you for being present to us in our time. Help us to remember that you meet us in chronos time, the only time we can understand, but your time is kairos time, which we cannot understand but only need to trust. Teach us to not put you in a box of our understanding but to let you be God, our God, the almighty! For we know, nothing is impossible for you!

Today Lord, is for Adam. My first born that gave me the title of mother. Oh what a gift with all the ups and downs and all the lessons learned and earned! Thank you, I wouldn’t trade a moment for anything!

Keep Adam on this path of manhood and fatherhood he has traveled so well in the last several years. Give him strength, courage, fortitude, and faith to continue on this path.

Bless Adam and Vickie, strengthen their marriage and hold them close to you in your protective arms. Bless their children and let them feel your love.

Let Adam look to Saint Joseph as a role model. He is a perfect example of fidelity to your will, holiness in marriage and the sanctity of human work. Give success to the work of his hands.

Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, today I offer my rosary for Adam and his intentions. Please take these prayers to your Son and ask Him to hear and answer them.

Please watch over all who will be traveling – allow safe journeys and successful ventures.

Ignite our souls with the grace of faith and inflame our hearts with your Love!

Saint Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for all who will die today, especially those who have no one to pray for them.

Jesus, Mary & Joseph, I love you! Save souls!

Saint Teresa has this to say about St. Joseph: “
“I took for my advocate and lord the glorious Saint Joseph and commended myself earnestly to him; and I found that this my father and lord delivered me both from this trouble and also from other and greater troubles concerning my honor and the loss of my soul, and that he gave me greater blessings than I could ask of him. I do not remember even now that I have ever asked anything of him which he has failed to grant. I am astonished at the great favors which God has bestowed on me through this blessed saint, and at the perils from which He has freed me, both in body and in soul. To other saints the Lord seems to have given grace to succor us in some of our necessities but of this glorious saint my experience is that he succors us in them all and that the Lord wishes to teach us that as He was Himself subject to him on earth (for, being His guardian and being called His father, he could command Him) just so in Heaven He still does all that he asks. This has also been the experience of other persons whom I have advised to commend themselves to him; and even to-day there are many who have great devotion to him through having newly experienced this truth.” “I wish I could persuade everyone to be devoted to this glorious saint, for I have great experience of the blessings which he can obtain from God. I have never known anyone to be truly devoted to him and render him particular services who did not notably advance in virtue, for he gives very real help to souls who commend themselves to him. For some years now, I think, I have made some request of him every year on his festival and I have always had it granted. If my petition is in any way ill directed, he directs it aright for my greater good.”

“I only beg, for the love of God, that anyone who does not believe me will put what I say to the test, and he will see by experience what great advantages come from his commending himself to this glorious patriarch and having devotion to him. Those who practice prayer should have a special affection for him always. I do not know how anyone can think of the Queen of the Angels, during the time that she suffered so much with the Child Jesus, without giving thanks to Saint Joseph for the way he helped them. If anyone cannot find a master to teach him how to pray, let him take this glorious saint as his master and he will not go astray.” (Autobiography Chapter 6).

Grandma is the greatest name I have ever been given! And the fat and sassy is obvious to anyone who knows me. I am a cradle Catholic and I believe in His Church and all He has left us. And He is the only Person I will ever follow blindly!
