Monday

Father, I don’t know why you wanted me awake so much through the night, please help me accept it and keep a good attitude today!

Monday is my favorite day with you because I am generally alone with you and we can keep the lights down where the focus remains on you.

It reminds me to keep my focus on you and to try and live in your shadow so others see you in me.

Holy Spirit please fill me today and lead me in your ways.

Help me to be a better mother and grandmother so my children will want to share with me. They can break my heart so easily! Help me be strong.

Oh Jesus, I long to see your Holy Face!

A few tidbits today

Anger is just an emotion, it is what you do with that anger that makes it a sin.

Forgive and move on.

What is twisted cannot be straightened, and what is not there cannot be counted.

By itself, faith accomplishes nothing for even the devils believe and shudder. Saint Maximus the Confessor

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

Ignite our souls with faith and inflame our hearts with your love, so we can set this world on fire with faith in you and love for you!

Mystery

What a mystery you have given us to ponder and peel open!

I believe you are three distinct persons in One God. I believe where the Father is so there is the Son and the Holy Spirit. As well as where the Son in so too is the Father and the Holy Spirit.

I believe you, Jesus Christ, are present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist I gaze upon this morning, therefore, present also is the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for deeming me worthy to spend time with you. Please lead and guide me through this day so that all I do points to your glory!

Keep me

Lord, please keep me ever mindful of you and your love today. Help me remember, all that I am, all that I have, are all gifts you have given me. Thank you.

Watch over and hear the prayers of all I will be dealing with and interacting with, both in business and personal.

Bless and heal the broken families.

Here’s to lots of smiles and laughter today!

Big days, big decisions ahead

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, thank you for this new day, this new work week. Help me to accomplish and finish what needs to be done and what I say I will do. Lord, please grant success to the work of my hands.

As I ponder you, this morning, under the disguise of Bread, I know Jesus and I believe, you are truly present here, Body, Blood, Soul & Divinity. I also know and believe that where you are, so is the Father and the Holy Spirit! Oh, what a mystery you have given us to ponder!

Jesus, let me live in your shadow. Let your light shine on me and guide me in your ways. I would be honored to be in your shadow where others see you first, before they see me.

Please bless my family and bring them to you. Put prophets in their paths to lead them to your loving embrace.

Lead those who are unemployed or underemployed, to the work you desire them to do. To the work that will sustain their family.

Mary, my Queen and my Mother, as I pray your holy rosary, please take the intentions that you know best should be heard, to your Son and ask Him to hear and answer them.

Father, thank you for my Catholic faith! Please let it grow and flourish. I believe, help my unbelief!

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

The end of the journey

Father, I thank you for allowing my eyes to be open this morning to see you. Please open my heart to hear what you have to say to me. Please open my mind to the possibilities you have for me. Please grant me the fortitude and courage to follow through.

I ask that you watch over those 3 little girls while I am here with you. Let them rest in a peaceful sleep until their bodies are refreshed. Help me guide them today to be respectful young ladies who know how to have fun.

Thank you Lord for asking me to bring my family to you. What a marvelous experience it has been for me.

Someone asked me why I just didn’t pray for my entire family every day, and doing this is not to say I don’t. There is power in naming a specific person in prayer, not only that you hear that prayer, which I believe you hear and answer all our prayers, but that I think and ponder things about that person that perhaps hadn’t come to mind in years.

Like the day for Kathy. I hadn’t thought, until that day, that she has been gone longer than she was alive. And I didn’t realize I still had some things to work through with her too. That day gave me some tears but many more smiles as I remembered my big sister. Prayer truly is an awesome gift!

Father, thank you for the family you have blessed me with. So many times we forget that those you have put in our lives are a gift from you, help me treat them as the treasure they are to you and the gift they are to me.

Please bless this entire crew, and all their spouses, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all generations to come.

Lead us all and guide us in your ways, and on the paths you lay out for us. Father, please put people along those paths that will point to you. Help us to seek eternity with you, in your loving arms.

Mary, undoer of Knots, pray for us!

Saint Joseph, terror of demons, pray for us!
