"Dear children! I look at you and I see in your heart death without hope, restlessness and hunger. There is no prayer or trust in God, that is why the Most High permits me to bring you hope and joy. Open yourselves. Open your hearts to God’s mercy and He will give you everything you need and will fill your hearts with peace, because He is peace and your hope. Thank you for having responded to my call."

If You Want to Be Great Be Grateful

I just read a twitter post, "If you want to be great, be grateful." Well, actually it was like this: If u want 2 b great b grateful.

What an excellent phrase to be thinking about before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for all of the blessings in our lives.

Eucharist means thanksgiving. We should always remember to give thanks when we receive the Blessed Sacrament in Eucharist. Give thanks for the gift of Jesus Christ that saves us from our sins. Give thanks for the man-God, born of a humble virgin, that came to be among us - Emmanuel - God with us.

Be thankful for family, food, friends, warmth, love, companionship - and so many other things.

No matter what our situation may be, we can find gifts from God and for those gifts, we should be thankful. Even if it just the air we breathe, we all have some thing to be thankful for.

God Bless us this Thanksgiving and thank you for all of our blessings. AMEN

Feeling Sorry for Myself Kinda Day

Today has been a rather unusual day. Feeling sorry for myself. Got in an argument with my husband, which we really don't do much anymore. Just one of those days that you want to cry the whole day away.

I crawled out of my pity party to read for a bit. In the book that I am reading there is a part that talks about God giving you hardships sometimes on your way to your goals. WOW - is that what this is?

I look at these things as set backs and another cross to carry. I know I have been saying bits and pieces about our business, well it turned into reality the last month or so. We have lost the fight.

I have been keeping relatively silent lately for a few reasons. One, I am numb and don't know what to say and two, I am bitter and trying to find my way. I am having a dark period in my life right now. I love God and love everyone around me, I am just having a hard time finding the path right now. Lead me God - I will let You lead me. I am wanting to be led.

I don't blame God for this - I have been down that path before and it doesn't get me anywhere. God has been good to us in so many ways, we count our blessings and they are abundant.

I just need to find the path to take me to the next season in my life.

I have so many things going on right now and I seem to be more busy now than when I had to go to my office every day. I have a new place for my office, it is in my basement. With all the havoc going on - I am finding it hard to focus on the spiritual and I am not doing a very good job of living my life as a prayer right now either.

Dear God, Ever Virgin Mary and all the Angels and Saints, pray for me to find the peace I need and pray for everyone else that is searching too. Amen.

"Dear children; With motherly perseverance and love I am bringing you the light of life to destroy the darkness of death in you. Do not reject me, my children. Stop and look within yourselves and see how sinful you are. Be aware of your sins and pray for forgiveness. My children, you do not desire to accept that you are weak and little, but you can be strong and great by doing God's will. Give me your cleansed hearts that I may illuminate them with the light of life, my Son. Thank you."
