May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, Dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart. Blessed be His Most Precious Blood. Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed be Mary, the Most Holy Mother of God. Blessed be Her holy and immaculate Conception. Blessed be Her glorious Assumption. Blessed be the Name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be St. Joseph, Her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints.
I'll not be doing a post on January 2nd due to new year's. Have a blessed 2012!!
In my part of the world in mid-December the sun rises not too long before eight and sets a bit after four. If the weather is quite mild, that is, hanging around the freezing point, we're likely to have a cloudy day also. Information about when the sun rises and sets has to be taken on faith, one might say. We often don't actually see it. At this same time of the year the Advent texts read in church seem most appropriate: "Though darkness cover the earth and thick clouds the peoples, upon us the Lord shines" and "A people living in darkness has seen a great light; on those overshadowed by death a light has arisen." Christ is that light, the Son of God come in the flesh. If those around us are to sense that the Lord does offer illumination, brightness, warmth, that will certainly require faith on their part. But we ease it for them, we bolster the faith of others, if some of that light shines out in our behavior. If some hope, joy and confidence are apparent in what we do and say. The light of the Lord only becomes actual, meaningful for our world through the illumination, warmth and raising of spirits that Christians bring with them.
When u carry a Bible ........ the devil gets a headache. When u open it........ he collapses. When he sees u reading it....... he faint. When he see's u living it,.....................he flees.
When you receive Jesus in Communion,................................he vomits.
When you pray the Rosary,.........................the Devil chokes. And just when your about 2 re-post this, he will try & discourage u. I just defeated him. Like, Copy & paste if your in God's Army
"If all those people became so enthusiastic and were ready to acclaim you over a piece of bread, even though the multiplication was a very great miracle, shouldn’t we be doing much more for all the many gifts you have granted us, and especially for giving us your very self unreservedly in the Eucharist?" - The Forge, 304
May the souls of the Faithful Departed, especially those of OSU Women’s Basketball Coach Kurt Budke, Assistant Coach Miranda Serna and OSU alumni Olin and Paula Branstetter, through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace.
ACT OF ENTRUSTMENT TO THE MOST BLESSED VIRGIN MARY (FOR YOUNG PEOPLE).
Virgin of Fatima, my dearly beloved Mother, I entrust myself today, in a very special way, to your Immaculate Heart.
By this solemn act, I offer my whole life to you, my heart, my soul, my body and especially this time of my youth in which I am now living.
Guide me along the way that Jesus has traced out for us:
The way of love, of goodness and of sanctity.
Help me to flee from sin, from evil and from egoism and to resist temptations to violence, to impurity, and to drugs.
I promise you to go to confession often and to receive Jesus into my heart as my spiritual food of life, to observe the commandments of God and to walk along the road of love and purity.
I want to be a witness of unity by my great love for the Pope, for my bishop, and for my priests.
I love you, 0 sweetest Mother of mine, and I offer you my youth for the triumph of your Immaculate Heart in the world.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
