One of my favourite feast days




NOVENA TO SAINT RITA

O glorious St. Rita, your pleadings before the divine crucifix have been known to grant favors that many would call the impossible. Lovely St. Rita, so humble, so pure, so devoted in your love for thy crucified Jesus, speak on my behalf for my petition which seems so impossible from my humbled position. (Here mention your request). Be propitious, O glorious St. Rita, to my petition, showing thy power with God on behalf of thy supplicant. Be lavish to me, as thou has been in so many wonderful cases for the greater glory of God. I promise, dear St. Rita, if my petition is granted, to glorify thee, by making known thy favor, to bless and sing thy praises forever. Relying then upon thy merits and power before the Sacred Heart of Jesus I pray. Amen.



I prayed for years to St. Rita and recently my prayers were answered. I now pray that it continues to happen and that she interceeds on my behalf to ensure this miracle continues.

Happy Mothers Day

Today we also celebrate Mothers Day in Canada.
I have sitting outside a bleeding heart, waiting to be planted and I'll say a prayer to Mary while doing so. I would plant roses for Mary but I have too much shade on my property for them to grow.

The kids are going to help me, the youngest is excited over it. How cute is that!!!!

I'll take a pic and post it later.

Our Lady of Fatima....May 13




O Most Holy Virgin Mary,
Queen of the most holy Rosary,
you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima
and reveal a glorious message.
We implore you,
inspire in our hearts a fervent love
for the recitation of the Rosary.
By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption
that are recalled therein
may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask,
through the merits of Jesus Christ,
our Lord and Redeemer.

Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament....May 13




Virgin Immaculate,
perfect lover of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament,
we ask you to obtain for us the graces we need
to become true adorers of our Eucharistic God.

Grant us, we beg of you,
to know Him better,
to love Him more,
and to center our lives around the Eucharist,
that is, to make our whole life a constant prayer
of adoration, thanksgiving, reparation, and petition
to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Amen.

V. Pray for us, 0 Virgin Immaculate,
Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

R. That the Eucharistic Kingdom of
Jesus Christ may come among us!

Job

Today is the memorial day of Job. I always loved the story of Job. All the troubles he had, all the problems he faced. I felt like he was a role model for me.

He is one of the patron saints for depression. Something else I always took an interest in.


So say a little prayer to Job today. And give thanks to God for sending us such a great role model.

It's been a long time

It's been a long time since I've posted anything here :O

This is the month of Mary. All month my kids and I are doing things in honour of her. They had the crowning ceremony at school last week and I want to plant a bleeding heart plant for Mary.

I've been teaching the kids some Mary prayers and I've been reading some stuff on her. I truly feel I am blessed because of Her presence in our everyday life.
