Month: January 2019

Father, thank you for your goodness and mercy towards me. Thank you for a roof over my head and a furnace that works. Please bless and warm all those who walk the streets without shelter. Put your disciples in their paths to help them.

I also need to thank you for the gift of Colette on this, her 6th birthday. I cannot imagine a greater gift than that of being grandma!

Today I bring Liane in my prayers. I pray for her, lead her in your light and let her put her trust in you. I pray for Bob, let your light shine in him. Strengthen their marriage as they enter a new chapter of their life. Make it an example to others.

I pray for their children and grandchildren and for all generations to come, may they continue to love, trust and hope in you.

Please bless her students and give success to the work of her hands.

Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, today I offer my rosary for Liane and her 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 Michael, pray for us!

Father, how many in today’s world stop to enjoy complete silence? How can they hear you through all the noises of this life? Thank you for this quiet time with you this morning. Please bless my ears to hear you and my heart to take it in.

This morning I bring you my brother David. Thank you for the time he gives to Mom, he is a good son. Please give him abundant blessings on all these efforts.

I ask that you keep Dave in your loving embrace and let your light shine in him for others. Please bless his children and shine your light on them.

Bless his friend, Dianne, along with all his friends and colleagues. Let their relationships give glory to you.

Please give success to the work of his hands.

Mary, Mother of God, our Queen and Mother, please take these prayers to your Son and ask that He grant them. I offer my Rosary this morning especially for Dave and his intentions. Mary, you know best what he needs – please intercede for those needs.

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.

Father, these students from Covington Catholic have been weighing on my mind. They are just children, your children.

The way so many jumped to conclusions without weighing, or even seeing all of the evidence. People who were not there anointed themselves prosecutor, jury and judge and condemned these students without a trial, and with a condemnation that will follow them through their entire lives.

Father, please send your holy angels to surround and protect them. Please let them feel the force of your love in their lives.

Mary, please surround them with your mantel and protect them from all harm.

Father, I also pray for those who condemned these children without a trial, open their hearts and minds to wait and see all evidence before they judge.

I also pray for the others involved in this, that they strive to be truthful in all they say and do. And that they don’t falsify an incident for 15 minutes of fame or for a means to justify an end.

And I need to bring the media and place them at your feet. They seem to only want to stir hate and division in this country, in this world. And there seem to be none of them who follow you and your Word.

Again, please protect these students and keep them from all harm. Grant them courage and strength to face the days ahead knowing that you hold them in the palm of your hand.

I offer my rosary today for all involved and I earnestly pray that no one ends up with blood on their hands.

All of this I plead through our Lord, Jesus Christ and with the Holy Spirit, for you are one God forever and ever.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you, save souls.

Saint Michael the archangel defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou, o Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

Lord, I do love spending time with you, one on one, oh but, how I wish these pews were filled! How I wish Catholics really believed and understood you are here, Body, Blood, Soul & Divinity, you are here truly in the Flesh just waiting for us to come share part of the day with you. Jesus, please bless and hear the prayers of everyone who comes to talk with you today.

This morning I bring you my sister Mary. What a gift she has been and is in the lives of so many! What an example she is for others to see that loving a person unconditionally does not mean that we blithely accept their sin. We love them despite their sin and in the hope that one day they will leave it aside. She surely wants to love them to eternity with you.

I ask you to bless Mary today and all days. Give success to the work of her hands and fruitfulness to her teaching and prayers. She evangelizes with her life and example, keep your flame of love, hope and faith burning bright in her.

I also ask you to bless Mary’s children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and all generations to come. Let your love surround them, let them feel your presence in their lives.

Please also accept prayers for the reposed soul of Fred, may he find eternal rest in you. If he doesn’t need the prayers, you know who does.

Mary, Mother of God, our Queen and Mother, please take these prayers to your Son and ask that He grant them. I offer my Rosary this morning especially for Mary and her intentions. Mary, you know best what she needs – please intercede for those needs.

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, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love you. I beg your pardon on all those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love you. Especially those in my family. Bring them back Lord, please bring them back.

Father, this morning I humbly bring you my entire family, one candle for Mom & Dad and each sibling and their family.

Give their families your light to shine and spread to others. Help us all be beacons is these dark times.

I also bring you families who are torn apart by worldly desires, please help them see their role in any division and let them all humble themselves enough to start walking to healing!

Father, please help me love you more!

Jesus, please help me love you more!

Holy Spirit, please help me love you more!

I believe, help my unbelief!

Mary, Mother of God, no one knows a son better than his mother, please lead me and show me how to love your Son more!

Bless and keep all whom I cross paths with today – let your light shine on them and keep them in your loving embrace.

Lord, thank you for this time together. I need you in my life and the life of my family. It is easy to let activities overwhelm me so that I lose track of you. You fade into the distance, and sometimes sin grows closer. But I know you are always there for me with your unconditional love. Thank you. I love you and long to put you first in my life.

So today I bring you me. That seems weird to me, but I think it is exactly what you want – for me to lay it all, including myself, at the foot of your Cross. So here I am Lord, please do with me as you will.

A clean heart create for me Lord! I know that only saints get into Heaven, please lead me and help me on that road. I do want to spend eternity with you.

Please bless Skip, lead him where You want him.

Bless Adam & Vickie, strengthen their marriage, and help them find you. Bless Derick, Taylor & Kayla, let your light shine on them, in them and through them.

Bless Rebecca & Harold, strengthen their marriage and keep them true to you. Bless Colette, Izzy and Felix, let your light shine on them, in them and through them.

Oh and Glenn, my golden boy. Lord, please bring him back! He used to love you so much I know he feels a hole in his heart. Please bless him and keep him safe on his journey back.

Please bless and hear the prayers of all who stop to visit with you today. Bless all my clients and colleagues, lead them to you. Allow them to see miracles in their lives.

Heal families torn apart by greed, mistrust, misunderstanding, hurt feelings, and other things. Strengthen all our families to be able to stand up to the enemy.

And finally Jesus, I want to be free, but I need your help. Without you, I can do nothing. Help me to trust you and to turn to you. Don’t let me go off on my own as if I could keep fighting without you. Free me to love you. Free me to love others.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you, save souls!

Ignite my soul with the fire of faith and inflame my heart with your love!

Lord, thank you for this time we will spend together. I wish to step away from the world and all its activities to be alone with you now. You are my beginning and my end: you created me, and you are leading me home to you in heaven. Thank you for your love. I know I deserve nothing from you and that my sins compound my unworthiness, yet you would still enfold me in your unfathomable love.

This morning I bring Mom to you and offer all my day as a prayer for her intentions.

Wow God, look what we all got because Mom said yes. First she said yes to Dad, then she said yes to you in your Church, and then they said yes to being open to life in their marriage and we have this wonderful, diverse, gigantic, talented, loving group called family. All because of one little word – yes!

Father, please bless Mom today and everyday, send her strength and patience to face the pains she has and give her relief when it is your will.

As I pray for Mom today, I also pray for Dad, eternal rest grant unto him, what a pair they were! They are! Mom and Dad were the model for saying yes to love everyday even though love did not mean mushy, romantic, goosebump feeling to be true love. Their example showed us love meant working through dirty diapers, financial struggles, broken toys, sibling fights, loads and loads and loads of laundry, hours of cooking and dishes, cleaning house and cleaning house again, and cleaning house again, and all those other mundane chores, all because it was for the good of the other. It was the covenant made with the yes. Thank you Lord for the example you gifted us with in Mom and Dad.

I pray for all their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and for all their future generations, which could be as numerous as the stars in the sky.

I pray for Mom’s parents and siblings and all of her ancestors, give them rest and peace.

Thank you for the gift of Mom in our lives and the gift of her yes.

Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, today I offer my rosary for Mom and her 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.

Please bless and keep Mom in your loving arms and let your light shine on her and through her to others.

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.

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!

“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).

Good morning Father! Good morning Jesus! Good morning Holy Spirit! I know where one is, there are all three and I truly believe Jesus, that you are here, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity just waiting for us to come adore you, speak with you, listen to you and love you.

This day is for Vickie, thank you for the gift of her life and the treasure you have added to our family in her.

Bless Vickie, give her strength and courage with the knowledge that you are with her, no matter what, no matter where, so there is always Hope, there is always Love and there is always acceptance.

As I pray for Vickie I also bring her family to you. Bless Adam and keep their marriage strong so they can weather the attacks the enemy makes on marriages and families.

Bless their children and let your light shine on them and in them. I also ask you to bless all future generations with your love.

Please also bless and keep Jackie and the rest of Vickie’s family. I pray for the reposed soul of Marie, may she rest in your loving arms. Also I pray for all of her family, past, present and future.

Mary, Mother of God, our Queen and Mother, please take these prayers to your Son and ask that He grant them. I offer my Rosary this morning especially for Vickie and her intentions. Mary, you know best what she needs – please intercede for those needs.

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!

Please accept this day as a prayer for my family and friends!

Father, as I lay down to sleep, into your hands I commend my spirit. Please let rest come and dreams be sweet.

Thank you.
