A list of signs

I really do consider myself special...God really is watching out for me.

1. When I got my brown scapular I put it on my neck. Less than 5 seconds later I got in an accident. My car was so close to a very large tree you couldn't put a peice of paper between it and the car. No damage to car or to me.
2. The miracelous medal...I wore it the whole time I was pregnant with my ds. He was conceived on Accutane and is perfectly healthy. He should have had neurological problems but didn't.
3. I have smelled roses twice for no reason at all.
4. I prayed to God one day at Mass after it was about the sancitamony of marriage (yes I am an awful speller) about what to do with dh. God showed me the path that night. It was a very clear sign.
5. When I left the lawyers two days later I saw my Priest walking down the street.
6. When I saw the Priest yesterday while dropping ds off for crafts at the Parish Hall he knew something was wrong, he was loving and comforting.
7. I have known when people have died at work before anyone told me. I could feel and sense it. One time I thought I saw the other aide going down the hall. I saw someone going down it. It was late at night. The doors were locked so it had to be a worker. The aide I thought it was came down a few minutes later all in a panic that someone had died. I said I already knew...I saw him, he came to say goodbye to me. OK so everyone was freaked but I wasn't. I knew...
8. I am positive my youngest will someday be a saint.
9. I once was praying the Rosary with a palliative person and they died. The other nurses were so freaked out. I wasn't. I knew it was a good thing. I hope when my time comes I am saying a prayer that is so dear to me.
10. My car has been acting up. It's leaking antifreeze. I took the picture of Jesus out of it and it started doing this. I'm putting that picture back in. I know it will help...I just do know it.

Intentions...

1. For the Pope as he travels to Turkey.
2. For all those who serve the church, especially local priests named in our weekly bulletin.
3. For anyone considering the religious life.
4. For the holy souls in purgatory.
5. For the sancity of life in all forms.
6. For the poor.
7. For the sick, especially for mental illness.
8. For the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
9. For personal intentions for myself.

My prayer book

Is now full...I posted pics of it before, unfortunately I don't have the pic anymore.

It is a journal book. I unwound the wire coil at the side. Covered the front and back with pretty paper, added nice decorations and put the wire back. Then I tied ribbons to the side of it. I want another, larger one.

And I want it organized better. LOL. I have stickies on the side for prayers I always say etc. but I'd like it organized alot better.

I guess before I do that I better get all the prayers I will ever want. I keep finding new ones that I want to add to it, like today I found some really good ones for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.

I printed them off...I'm actually going to give them to a patient at work so she can pray them tonight. I'm sure she'll love that.

Explaining All Soul's Day

OK, I cannot share alot of dk stories anymore but this one is OK I think.

This morning my oldest asks me if I know what day it is. I said All Soul's Day. Both her and her brother looked at me as if I had 2 heads. He asked me what was. I told him it was a day set aside for the souls of people who had died and were in Purgatory.

So of course...what is purgatory. I told him a place to go and cleanse yourself of your sins before going to heaven. I said it's like when you do something wrong at home Mommy forgives you but you still need to be punished.

How do I know that's true. I told him because the Church teaches that, and there is a passage in the Bible about it. I asked him if he wanted to find the passage later and look it up.

He still didn't think I knew anything. That his Mom is crazy. I told him to ask his teacher about it at school. I'm sure he will.

All Soul's Day

It's All Soul's Day...to pray for the souls in Purgatory.

I am saying some extra prayers today for them. Giving up meat for them as an offering of penance.

I am very upset...I would have liked to go to the cemetary to pray over his Aunt Rita's grave (she recently died) but I have no idea where she is buried. And he can't talk to me so I can't call and ask. So I will have to pray for her here.

All Saint's Day

Prayer for all Saints Day

Dear Father, You have given the saints in Heaven eternal happiness and they now live in the fullness of Your glory. Because of their holy love for You, they also care about me and my family, my friends, my church, and my neighbors. Thank You for the gift of their friendship and the witness of their holy lives. I ask our patron saints and every saint who has become especially dear to me to intercede for us. I ask them to help us journey safely on the narrow path that leads to Heaven. O Lord, give us their protection. Grant us their assistance in overcoming temptation and gaining the fullness of life with You. Amen.
