Today the intentions for the St Joseph Novena I am participating in are for those nearing their death from this world to have a happy death. Joseph is the patron saint of many things, among which is, a happy death. It is presumed he had among the happiest of deaths, in the arms and loveContinue reading “Day 19 ~ O, to have a Happy Death”

Greetings. Today is day 5 of the St Joseph novena I have been praying and the intention today is for everyone who is unemployed or underemployed.

Day 17 Perhaps
Sundays are the best! I love my time in the true presence of the Lord, raising my voice in song, and the family time which follows and include precious hugs, smiles, and memories. Today we celebrate my mom…perhaps the most influential human in my spirituality outside of Christ. Her influence has come in both subtleContinue reading “Day 17 Perhaps”
Day 16 Pray for your Enemies
Wow, today’s gospel is a tough one. Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies. In society today it seems more and more challenging to know who is a friend and who an enemy…so many seem to be cancelling or flat out rejecting those who don’t believe the same as they do. On some level,Continue reading “Day 16 Pray for your Enemies”
Day 15 Community
Good Morning World! As I woke this morning to a cold snowy day in Oklahoma, I am so very grateful for the safety and warmth of my home. I thought about the Ukrainian people outside in even colder conditions without the basics of warmth, supplies, electricity, or even a roof over their heads as theyContinue reading “Day 15 Community”
Day 14- St Joseph
The Feast day of St. Joseph is this month and today begins a novena to him. Joseph holds a special place in my heart, as the guardian and partner of our Blessed Mother, Mary, my namesake. He is a bridge between myself and Jesus. Valiant, and faithful he is an aid to the family andContinue reading “Day 14- St Joseph”
Day 13 -Despair and Hope
Life a journey, and sometimes a trip. It takes us down paths on which hearts can be ripped. It strengthens and weakens and brings ups and downs, and on many occasions it simply astounds. Struggles and answers, hope and despair, through all we can know, that Christ is right there. He stands beside us throughContinue reading “Day 13 -Despair and Hope”

I believe some of the most important focus words for this year in my life, are prayer, providence, blessing, and gratitude. I won’t get into details but in summary: When everyday challenges face us, the best reaction I have found, is prayer and hard work as able. The prayers vary from day to day asContinue reading “Day 12 – Prayer, Providence, Blessing, & Gratitude”
Day 11 – Providence
Today’s Responsorial fits with my striving: Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life. The verse which struck me deepest…Psalm 19:15 “Let the words of my mouth and the thought of my heart find favor before you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.” How providential and merciful of the Lord to give us a clearContinue reading “Day 11 – Providence”
Day 10 -Your will Lord
What a blessing life is…May I never forget this truth. The Lord gives and he takes away and in each He has purpose. Some we will understand right away, some we may never know fully. I believe if we trust, both will bring about good in our life, according to His will. I believe Lord,Continue reading “Day 10 -Your will Lord”
