My son is home from the hospital. Blessed Easter!!

This day I declare that Our God is Alive ..I declare that God protects His Own.. I declare that the prayers of the righteous availeth much..so to everyone who has uttered a prayer for us.. u r now part of Joes Miracle 2020... I just received the call that is flat-out miraculous after being told that my son was serious last night one step away from critical. I just got a call... Joseph does not need oxygen... he is walking around holding 94-95 oxygen saturation on his own...I will have the privilege shortly to pick him up and bring him home. After being told he would have a Long Hospital stay, Our God had a different prognosis. God bless everyone who took care of him and I ask you to continue to pray for him and me as we finish his recovery at home. Praise be to God.. kisses and gratitude to Our Lady of Guadalupe who never forgot our annointed redition of her song" I'm Your Mother "which we gave to her. I am at a loss for words...nothing...absolutely nothing could express my joy...Easter has come early this year!

"I'm Your Mother" a prayer for my son Joe now in the hospital

I am posting this video of my original rendition of I'm Your Mother.  That song was annointed by God an i was allowed to b Our Lady's instrument to bring her voice forward to the world. As i ache in deep sorrow for my son Joseph, who now is in a hospital in serious condition, i remind the world that i recorded that song wen i was 8 mths pregnant with Joe. He was as much a part of that song as i was because only wen one feels life within can one sing these words with the depth an passion i did. I ask that everyone listen again to this rendition now remembering Joe an i in deep prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe for his healing, cure an protection an mine. To Our Lord an Our Lady who both helped make this song not just gd to listen to, but absolutely healing...may they get all the honor an glory an praise.  For everytime my version of I'm Your Mother was used an touched people, i ask a special blessing from above on my son Joe an i in this, our darkest hour. Ty. God bless!

Catholic Palm Sunday Masses..it is time to change!

I am grieving this yr. It is the first yr i will not b doin Church Music for Holy Week in 50 yrs.  Many of us cannot attend Mass or receive Blessed Palms to open our Holiest Week of the yr. We must make due an enter more deeply in these Masses/Services as never before. Our world needs us ...every one of us is carrying the sick..the dying..an our world which needs to b rid of this virus. Lets take seriously our responsibility...find God anew...convert an repent of the error...filth...compromise in our lives.  Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, Methodus, Lutherans...every form of Christianity...an all other religions....i invite u to join us.We need to begin again an unite in prayer, fasting, an almsgiving.  God will hear us an answer if we do something.  Watever we would want to hide from God if we were goin to die this moment ..these r the things that need drastic change in our lives.

As u watch Mass, ask God to bless again the palms from last yr in ur home an He will. Ask Him to give u Holy Communion...an believe He can do it even if u dont see it...open ur mouth an receive Jesus Christ....an even though we cannot go to confession or b annointed...God can do these things miraculously if we beg Him .Lets get on our knees an beg for forgiveness an confess to God saying a gd act of contrition an receive Gods Loving Mercy. God surely is not limited by our natural world. An wen civid19 is over we will hopefully flock our churches again as never before...goin to Confession, receive Holy Communion an the changes we will have made will b noticeable an b lasting God Willing.

Wake up Hollywood!  Books,Music...tv...movies...
everything needs to change an become innocent again!

Become doers of The Word during covid19

Wat a simple way to help people locked down in their homes...look thru ur photo  albums an send a few pics by text that can make people smile!  Try it...u feel great wen u no they enjoyed them! An u get to enjoy some great older memories again .

We need to shut the news an bake cookies...listen to gd inspirational music...pray...watch uplifting tv an computer material..think of ways to reach out to others to help them smile during these hard days...make some calls, write some letters...we need to get creative to stay balanced an peaceful for ourselves an all those in our inner circle of family an friends.  Ministry always starts in ur inner circle .We may reach millions, but if we neglect our responsibilities to our parents, spouses, children, siblings neighbors, friends etc. ,which is our primary calling in life, we have failed!

James 1:27

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world."

.. the sufferings today r monumental..
with the serious realities in our world today...it is too much for a frail human being to handle...ONLY WITH GOD can we rise from this. We must pray an b present to others for support!  If someone is hungry, do u say God bless u an yet not offer them something to eat?  People r hurting...let us ask God for creative ideas on how we can support others...an as we support others, God Himself will carry us!!😉  we wont have time to waste on world news' details...complaining...
obsessing...being unproductive. Lets try to use this time well...interior growth...relationship with God...improving virtues an character in our families..simplifying our dwellings to share our gds with others...emptying our storage units that r not needed...an then outreach to others. Even just texting a positive message .

By the grace of God i have had many beautiful people call on me to ck on us to offer to pay a bill, shop for me, go shopping together an cover the cost ...offered money...to help me an my disabled son during this crisis... one of whom was a holy priest of God, another my sister, another distant cousin, a dear old friend who i grew up with from church choir an a local neighbor/ friend.  Imagine...all of these people offering to care for us like the early church did one another . Our God lives an He will continue to care for His Own!

Courage!!! In my prayers always!  Til next time!🙏💒🙋

Let's read James 1:19-27

An become DOERS OF THE WORD!

PRAISED B JESUS CHRIST NOW AN FOREVER!!

I put it facing in so everytime we go up or down the stairs or pass it, we c it an pray. God is soo gd.

Joy in the midst of suffering

Joy is the most Infallible Sign of the Presence of God!!!
                    Leon Bloy

Til next time lets look up Scriptures on Joy an meditate on them.

Hysteria or peace??

Too often in a war like this, people enter into hysteria.This quote puts it into perspective.

"Your mind is your instrument. Learn to be its master and not its slave."
     By Remez Sasson

Til next time lets meditate on how we can keep our mind in perfect peace.  Read Is 26...

Is 26:3-4

"With firm purpose You maintain peace;

in peace, because of our trust in You.

Trust in the LORD forever!

For the LORD is an eternal Rock."

Wake up call to humanity amid covid19

How easy it is for us to have the right talk of faith. But this is the time for us ,each one, to really put into action what we often say. How easy to pray when we have services at our places of worship and when we leave the ediface, application is often forgotten as the week goes on. Too often in our times God has been ignored, made fun of, people who follow him are considered Fanatics or extreme and told to change.  God is loving and merciful and I have always shared that in my blogs. But we must remember that God will not be made a fool of. He is not some little guy on the side that we can call in and demand things from or give a list to like Santa Claus. He looks for those whose hearts are stayed on him. There's only one way to make a relationship with Him an that is to spend time with, to speak to, to pray to, and then to listen. It is time, while we are all shut down in our homes, to stop, pray and listen. It is a time for all of us to re-evaluate our lives and see where we went wrong walking away from our God both individually ,in our neighborhoods and communities ,in our country and as a human race. As we make all these promises to God let us remember that these promises are to be kept after covid-19 passes. It is no longer an option.   We are one nation under God and we need to start obeying the Ten Commandments and the two Commandments of Love: love God with all your mind, with all your heart , with all  your soul ,with all your strength ..and love your neighbor as yourself. We are very fortunate to have television, computers and phones. Let us use them now, not to waste time in greed in purchasing worldly things.  Let us use them to grow in our faith, to pray and to learn more about God. For us Catholics EWTN on television is on 24/7 with great Catholic networking ,educational shows, ways to grow up our faith. For other denominations there are many other channels also available. On YouTube one can look up all types of videos on faith, God ,prayer , uplifting music, hope, Scriptures , Saints, the list is endless . Scripture says to pray without ceasing and we have been granted an opportunity to slow down and see how we can apply this to our lives. For those of you with children in your home, rather than be annoyed, see this as an opportunity to draw your family closer to you and to God with you. It is a time to re-establish the family unit ; husband, wife and children and 2 impact our children's lives so that they actually might reflect more their parents rather then their child care provider, then their  School teachers. Although it's difficult, it's a wonderful opportunity for us to see where our children are at ..their thinking patterns, their belief system and help guide them to the Light. Sadly sometimes it takes extreme situations to actually be reminded of what matters in life. God matters, people matter,  everything else runs second to these. May The God of the Universe, our Higher Power come and reveal Himself to us in ways we never thought possible. May we fall on our knees, cry for our sins, repent, learn more about him and develop an intimate loving relationship with the ONE who knit us together.  May He heal and protect all the living, especially all those on the front lines caring for the sick..bless all those in leadership to know what to do  ..for those who have died that they may be embraced in the Merciful Arms of God and for all of humanity to look deep in our souls to find God ,to repent of the sins that we have been doing and mistakes that we have been making, repent of them and change and go forward with a new loving intimate relationship with the True living God and may we show that in our obedience to Him. To God Alone be all honor and glory and Power forever!! in Jesus Name i pray! amen. Till next time let's pray Luke 1 asking Mary, the Mother of God, who obviously knew Jesus the most, to show us the way to her Son .

COURAGE!!  GOD LOVES U!! HE WILL SHOW US THE WAY!!

Encouragement during covid19

I hope this song helps lift u up during these tough times. I am praying for the healing, protection, safety of u n urs an for God to have mercy an erradicate this virus for good...heal the sick...embrace those who have passed...an to keep all doctors, nurses, techs, medical staff, researchers, police, fire, ems, clergy an all leaders an those on front lines safe an give them His Wisdom to no wat to do.  Let's practice staying balanced...
reading an praying alot
......also eating well...resting...
exercising ...an using music...
computers an tv to surround ourselves with only positive(arent we blessed to have these)..an to have quality family time ...i shut all news an ck online only once a day 4 NJ, my state only, an live simply following social distancing an protection an staying home...i am in essence on retreat😉🙏 That is how i am doin it...1 minute at a time. Hope this text makes u smile a bit knowing u r thought of an luved an u r not alone in ur suffering. Reach out to others especially the elderly..widowed....single...the sick...My Dad taught me by example how beautiful it was to reach out an call others even wen they never would call him. ..for wen we do we get much more than we ever thought possible. He would just sit at the desk, get out his phone book an make some calls for no special reason other than to say hi an ck on them. Have a gd day. An if u want to talk or need some encouragement, dont hesitate to leave me a comment. God Bless!!!!  angie

Rosary an Urgent prayers to end coronavirus feast St Joseph

Today at 3pm plz pray 3 Our Fathers for an end of this coronavirus as instructed to a holy priest by The Blessed Mother....thru St Joseph whose Feast is today...

Also at 4 pm Eastern time Pope Francis has asked everyone to stop an pray the Rosary Luminous Mysteries asking Our Lady to intercede an intervene in ending this virus....on The Feast of St Joseph. Here r instructions on how to pray the rosary an the luminous mysteries. U can find videos of this on youtube.

JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH WE NEED UR HELP!!!

Gather the family...it is time for us to return to praying together if we r ever to resume normal life again.

St. Patrick..the real deal...his Lorica an The Trinity

Consider praying this Lorica of St Patrick on this, his day....he had nothing to do with green....or beer...
lepricons....
Or Rainbows....or getting drunk...he used the 3 leaf clover to teach the concept of the Trinity, Father Son an Spirit. This is a deliverance prayer....a type of prayer for protection very much needed today. The last paragraph is his famous Breastplate Prayer. I pray u have the patience to read this in its entirety, slowly , deliberately, to bring down God's Loving Protection on u an urs while hopefully being deeply inspired to find God more deeply for urself, to b encouraged to pray in new ways that exceed anything we have ever done before, an to look with new eyes on this great bishop, Saint Patrick who wrote an prayed these words himself as he helped an entire nation find Jesus Christ!  May we imitate our older brother in faith putting God Front an Center in our lives!  May we all b blessed in The Name of The Father an of The Son an of The Holy Spirit!  Amen!! angie

Use Christian Music to raise your spirits during this pandemic

This singer is my favorite Christian artist 4 two reasons... because of his talents vocally that r superb..but more importantly his heart in wat he sings an how he sings it. Here is a playlist. ...

https://m.youtube.com/results?search_query=David+phelps

During this most difficult time in our lives we need Hope...
Encouragement...  Music with a God Reference can give us these.. an even Holy Joy amidst the struggle. Phil 4:8 says:
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious,if there is any excellence an if there is anything worthy of praise, think about THESE things."
Let's surround ourselves with these things especially good an uplifting music!  Ck out in NYC area..99.1 FM Star99.1....96.7 FM K-Love...and
95.5 FM...also go to youtube an search for Christian Worship Music...
Contemporary Christian Music...etc.  We have some extra time to pray...read...
dance...
sing....an clean our houses out😉  COURAGE!!🙏💒

Ps:  til next time reach out to an elder...parents...aunts an uncles...brothers an sisters..neighbors who r alone an afraid.  B the first...dont wait for others to call u. B proactive . Offer financial help where necessary because many of us r losing income during this pandemic...also offer to shop or cook...u younger ones plz rise to the occasion. Anyone 60 or above especially with health issues could b very badly hit with this illness if they get it. So younger ones step up .And everyone rather than fight for toilet paper ..care for someone ...show ur better side .Til next time...

During Coronavirus lockdown watch Mass daily an pray!

During this most difficult time in our world, we can tune in an watch Mass on our phones or computers every day. This Mass is only a half hour an is done well.  It is not like EWTN which is 1 hour long an hard for many to sit thru. Here is the link below.  God is The Answer to every problem we face an prayer is the means of being in touch with Him. We, as Catholics, believe the Mass is the Highest Form of Prayer for us. So lets use our lock down well an watch Mass Daily praying for healing an protection and an end to the coronavirus. This is Lent an we have been afforded alot of time at home...let us use it well!  Many who could never attend daily Mass now have the opportunity to watch it daily. Til next time lets pray for each other...God bless!
