Saints: our brothers an sisters!

 St Augustine:

"The difference between the Gospel written and the lives of the Saints is the same as the difference between music written on a page and music played out loud"

Here r our brothers an sisters who continue to pray us thru...who made it before us an who we celebrate this weekend.  Everytime i hear a Litany of the Saints or a beautiful line up of them, i cry in gratitude for the Love they have for me...an me 4 them.  Those of us so hungry chasing God often ridiculed in this world.. r understood by these Elders who have gone before us. True Familia gets no better than this!  Praised b God in His Angels an in His Saints.

"You are a priest forever

Set apart, Holy one.

You are a priest forever

With you I have placed My Only Son.

Your hands hold His Body

In your care, His Precious Blood

Lift Him High, for all the world to see

There can be no greater Love.

You are a priest forever

Set apart, Holy one.

You are a priest forever

With you I have placed My Only Son.

Intercede for my people

Shepherd their hearts, as My Own.

Be My Light, to guide their weary souls

Back to My Heart, Their Home

You are a priest forever

Set apart, Holy one.

You are a priest forever

With you I have placed My Only Son.

Heb: 7 Proclaims the Lord His word and He will not repent ' you are priest forever'.

You are a priest forever

Set apart, Holy one.

You are a priest forever

With you I have placed My Only Son."

Psalm 91 for healing

There is a Psalm from The Bible that is very powerful an used during times like these.  Often wen we r interceding for someone we read some Chapter from the Bible every day for that person. Psalm 91 is the perfect reading for wen someone is ill...the Psalms r beautiful an come from both the Jewish an Christian traditions.....consider reading This Psalm daily for ur loved one's healing an for u....read it slowly an try to 'stand' on every word with deep conviction...sometimes reading It out loud or singing It can help one not to become 'bored' with the repetition...remember The Holy Word of God has Power..It is The Breath an Words of Our God..we Catholics believe that God's Word is equal to His Body and Blood in The Eucharist!!!...by the end of it all, the Words will have Greater Meaning than wen u started an one often feels a deeper connection to God after doing this. Here is the link...if u scroll down Psalm 91 should b after all the numbers.  The numbers r all the other Psalms.  After doin Psalm 91 consider continuing reading the Others.  U will not b disappointed!! Have a great day! God bless u an ur families!

New Saint Blessed Carlo Acutis

October 12...yesterday, was the Feast of our Brand New Saint - Blessed Carlo Acutis.  Hope you’ll enjoy this short Animation of his Life & Mission. He was in love with Jesus in Holy Mass & Holy Communion (Daily Mass - from age 7-15) and the Daily Holy Rosary.  He was a genius in the use of the Internet an technology- he had made an Amazing Website of all the Miracles of the Holy Eucharist.  We will ask Blessed Carlo to pray for us and especially for younger Catholics- to get to experience More of the Power of Holy Mass & the Rosary.  God bless you! Enjoy!

"Hello God"

" Me:Hello God.I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together?

God: I'd rather not.

Me: Why?

God: Because you're not a puzzle.

Me: What about all the pieces of my life that fall to the ground?

God: Leave them there for a while. They fell for a reason. Let them be there for a while and then decide if you need to take any of those pieces back.

Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking!

God: No, you don't understand. You're transcending, evolving.What you feel are growing pains. You're getting rid of the things and people in your life that are holding you back. The pieces are not falling down. The pieces are being put in place. Relax. Take a deep breath and let those things you no longer need fall down. Stop clinging to pieces that are no longer for you. Let them fall. Let them go.

Me: Once I start doing that, what will I have left?

God: Only the best pieces of yourself.

Me: I'm afraid to change.

God: I keep telling you: YOU'RE NOT CHANGING! YOU'RE BECOMING!

Me: Becoming, Who?

God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light, love, charity, hope, courage, joy, mercy, grace and compassion. I made you for so much more than those shallow pieces you decided to adorn yourself with and that you cling to with so much greed and fear. Let those things fall off you. I love you! Don't change! Become! Don't change! Become! Become who I want you to be, who I created. I'm gonna keep telling you this until you remember.

Me: There goes another piece.

God: Yes. Let it be like this.

Me: So... I'm not broken?

God: No, but you're breaking the darkness, like dawn. It's a new day. Become!! Become who you really are!!"

Nat'l Rosary Rally Today Oct 11, 2020

We will pray the Glorious Mysteries together, as a nation, at 3:00pm CST.

"Slow me down Lord"

 Slow me Down (c) SLGilmore

Ease the pounding of my heart By the quieting of my mind Steady my hurried pace       With a vision of the eternal reach of time.

Give me amidst the confusion of my day.. The calmness of the everlasting hills ..Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles..With the soothing music of the singing streams That live in my memory.

Help me to know The magical restoring power of sleep ..Teach me the art Of taking minute vacations ..Of slowing down to look at a flower..To chat with a friend..To pat a dog..To read a few lines from a good book.

Remind me each day of the fable Of the hare and the tortoise..That I may know that the race Is not always to be swift..That there is more to lifeThan measuring speed.

Let me look upward Into the branches of the towering oak..And know that it grew great and strong..Because it grew slowly and well.

Slow me down Lord..And inspire me to send my rootsDeep into the soil Of life's enduring values..That I may grow towards the stars.

"Father make us one!"

 😉How lovely wen we dwell in unity...'FATHER MAKE US ONE THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW U HAVE SENT YOUR SON, FATHER MAKE US ONE!'

We can respect...listen ...understand...an even agree to disagree!!😄

We show our greatness in just being open enough to hear anothers' view...Love...The Sign of a True Follower of Jesus Christ!   Keep goin my friend...b assured of my prayers 4 u an urs an plz continue to cover me an mine!😂🙏💒🙋
