October is the Month of Mary and the Rosary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

It has been too long between posts on this blog. I want to pick up where I left off a year ago.

   I am about to head out for Confession and Mass but I will write more either later today or maybe tomorrow. Should \anyone drift onto this page I will be praying for you at Mass today and asking that you be blessed abundantly.

Fat Tuesday is upon us and we need to remember that this day of indulgence precedes forty days of sacrifice. It would seem that we have choices to make. Do we choose to refrain from something we love or do we see this as a time for going out of our way for others? Why must we choose? How about combining both of these and make this our most fruitful Lent ever.

Happy New Year Mother

Mother Mary,
Thank you so much for all you went through when you were alive in order for us to have salvation. Thank you for being my mother and for always interceding for me. Please help me to become the daughter that you can be proud of. I give you myself and all my children and beg you to keep us safe, open our eyes to the love that your son has for us, and greet us at the hour of our death so that you can escort us to heaven. I love my children so much. I love you Mama.
Happy New Year

Welcoming 2012

There are now less than four hours left in the year 2011. It has been a wonderful year in so many ways and I thank you for every minute of it. You have blessed me with wonderful children, a few good friends, many wonderful and fun acquaintances. a nice home, a satisfying job, a good running car and enough financial help to be comfortable. I am spoiled by you and I love it. Please bless my entire family and especially my children and draw them ever closer to your Sacred Heart. Please help me to lose weight, become organized, start going to church regularly. Help me to be kind to everyone, to treat people with respect, to be honest in all my dealings, to be consistent in my praying and my writing. Let me know Papa what your plans are for my life. What is it that I should be doing to bring glory and honor to you. I love you so much.
Happy New Year Papa.
