What’s it gonna take?

Father, as I sit here in the quiet, in the presence of Jesus, I wonder what’s it gonna take to bring us back to you? I am afraid we have gone so far from you that the road back will not be an easy or painless one. You are probably going to have to shake us up!

Thank you for leading me back to you. For waiting patiently for me and for giving parents who prayed for my return. I pray for all those in my family who have walked away from you for various reasons. Most to do with the world today and the definitions of happiness and freedom that are nothing but a flash in the pan. The world doesn’t want to work towards true happiness and freedom in you.

Help me know how to pray. I desire to be led by your Holy Spirit to know what and how I pray pleases you. I also desire for my prayers to be efficacious for your ends. Please lead me and guide me.

I prayed for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to be poured upon me, upon all your children, let me be part of setting the world on fire with faith in you. Please send those gifts, especially on your priests so they will ignite your people. Let your priests see the face of Christ in the Holy Eucharist they confect. Give them a burning faith and love!

Oh how good this world would be if we had the fruits of the Holy Spirit! What true happiness and freedom we would find! Lord, lead us to you! Send your Holy Spirit upon us! Set us ablaze!

Thank you for the day with Colette. Help it be our special time that we both remember with love. Please bless all of my babies, kids and grandkids, let your light shine on them and through them.

I offer my rosary today for Mike and Linda, for Randy and Judy, for Jeff, and for all others experiencing sickness or family problems. Give them strength, peace and patience to face each new day and each new trial. Give them some smiles in their lives!

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!

Bring them back dear Lord, bring them back!
