The Power of Humble Prayer

"Mindful then of our condition, that we are essentially limited and absolutely dependent on the Supreme Being, before everything else let us have recourse to prayer. We know through faith how great is the power of humble, trustful, persevering prayer." Pope Pius XI

Stir our hearts Lord and teach us how to pray!

Please pray for the healing of Denise, Lisa and Clair who are all suffering from physical illnesses.

Thank you prayer warriors!

Update on Tripp

Here is the latest update on Tripp:

 

"I know everyone is waiting for an update but I honestly don't know what to say. Last night was all beeps an alarms and people coming in and out. So I finally talked to his ICU dr for just a moment and he just said that Tripp is extremely sick, the infection is very serious and it is life threating. I panicked and couldn't ask anything else. I told him Bill and my family would be here soon and they would ask lots of questions. Only one parent can stay in the room so bill is in the sleep room. Honestly I can not focus this morning or even stay awake. Everything seems to be catching up with me, lack of sleep, stress, the sheer reality of it all... The ICU staff probably think I am a terrible mom but I can't seem to function this morning. Tripp is still heavily sedated so at least he is finally getting some sleep. They just did X-rays and now waiting on getting an echo done. They know something is wrong with his heart and they can't get him warm. I am sure bill will get a more official update but these are just some if the things they have told me this morning. Just breaks my heart. I can't lose my baby. So please pray."

 

O most Adorable Face of Jesus, cast Your look of mercy upon Tripp and bring him to perfect health.

Giving Up Ourselves for Lent

"But there is another interior way of praying without ceasing, and that is the way of desire. Whatever else you are doing, if you long for that Sabbath, you are not ceasing to pray.  If you do not want to cease praying, do not cease longing. Your unceasing desire is your unceasing voice." ~ St. Augustine

This Lent, walk close to Jesus through prayer.  Ask Him to stay with you and to walk with you.  Ask Him to speak to your heart. Ask Him to teach you how to make loving sacrifices a part of your life...for the rest of your life. Do not cease longing for Jesus and He will become your closest friend.

How about "giving up thinking about ourselves" for Lent?  Whenever we find ourselves thinking about our everyday trials, instead think of God and offer a small prayer that He come more fully into your heart.

May you have a Blessed and Holy Lenten Season,

If Jesus Entered Your Boat

Isaiah, Paul and Peter all found themselves in the Divine Presence of Jesus.  Most likely they asked themselves, why me Lord, could You not have found someone else who is more worthy? But the truth of the matter is this...Jesus called them and had a mission for them. 

So Isaiah, Paul and Peter were most grateful that our Lord chose them, although they felt they were not worthy, and they made great efforts to answer God's call to the best of their abilities.

How would we behave if we suddently found ourselves in the Divine Presence of Jesus?  We can answer that question because He is physically present in the Eucharist. Are we truly pious when we receive Him? Do we show our respect as we pass the Holy Tabernacle?

If you were graced to be in the Divine Presence of Jesus and He asked you 'whom shall I send?', what would be your response?

Would it be..."Here I am; send me!"

If you are reading this, then I feel God is calling you to pray for those who are in need.

Please pray for the family of six year old Eva who passed away on Monday. Also, please pray for little two year old Peyton who has a brain tumor and is having daily radiation treatments at Roswell. Mickey is having an MRI today (Thursday); please say a prayer all goes well for him.

If Jesus enters your boat and asks something of you, then He will give you the grace to accomplish it. Unworthy as we all are, God's grace will shine through us!

I pray your response would be, 'here I am Lord!'.

Thank you for your prayers. God be with you always.

Prayers for Elizabeth

Praised be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation. He comforts us in all our afflictions and thus enables us to comfort those who are in trouble, with the same consolation we have received from him. 2 Cor.1:3-4

Please pray for a young girl named Elizabeth, for a special intention as requested by her family.

God be with you,

The Greatest Gift

In today's second reading, the Corinthians were debating as to which gift from God was the greatest. Was it faith? Was it prophecy? Could it be the gift of speaking in tongues? St. Paul makes it very clear to us...the greatest gift of God is LOVE.

Love is from God and it will never end. The way in which we love one another today, we will also manifest in Heaven.

To love is to pray for those in need:
...
Please pray for Karen who has severe neck pain. She is taking care of her husband who had two strokes and also is the caretaker for aging family members. She also has an autistic child. The pain she is experiencing is interfering with her ministering to those in need of her help. Please storm Heaven with prayers for her!

Thank you prayer warriors! Have a very blessed Sunday!

In Christ,
Kathy
