National Friendship Day

Happy National Friendship Day!  

Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter;

whoever finds one finds a treasure.

Faithful friends are beyond price,

no amount can balance their worth.

Faithful friends are life-saving medicine;

those who fear God will find them.

~ Sirach 6:14-16

What's Been Happening

Hey everyone!

I haven't updated you all on some resent happenings. My grandmother passed away Saturday, June 21 on the feast of St. Aloysius (the patron Saint of my grandfather). I'm 18 hours away from home in FL. The funeral was held out here. Now I'm just visiting with my Aunt.

My family and I think she probably suffered internal bleeding (she fell in her apartment). She came over for dinner the same day she passed away and we were all home to spend time with her (it's been pretty rare when everyone in my family is home at the same time). She wasn't feeling herself that evening, so we had a priest come to give her the Last Rites. It wasn't until, after we brought her back to her room (at an assisted living facility not to far from our house) that she fell and was taken to the hospital. My mom and dad were with her when she died. If you could all pray for the repose of her soul, my family and I would be truly grateful.

Well, as homesick as I am, FL has been pretty nice. I'm working on my tan, swimming, going on family walks, went to see How To Train Your Dragon 2 (it was a great movie!), enjoying my aunt's great cooking, and watching some fun tv shows and movies (we don't have cable at home and my aunt does). We might do some shopping later this week. I will be sharing pictures of the trip soon!

Anxiety

Hello friends!

I just have a quick favor to ask of you.  If you all could say some prayers for me, I would be very grateful.  My anxiety has been pretty bad lately.  I need to work on completely trusting in God, figuring out what He wants of me, and accepting it.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart and know that I am praying for you!

God bless you!

Please Pray

This was sent to me by email this morning.  Please pray for these two priests and their families.

"Dear Confraternity Members, Your prayers as members of our extended family through the Confraternity of St Peter are urgently needed. Last night in the U.S.A. the Fraternity Rectory in Phoenix was broken into. District Superior Fr. Eric Flood was contacted at 2am by the police who informed him that Fr. Kenneth Walker, FSSP had been killed and that Fr. Joseph Terra was in critical condition. The families of the two priests have been informed.

Fr Walker was 29 years and had been ordained a priest 2 years ago. Please offer your daily decade of the Rosary and the Confraternity Prayer today and in the coming days for the repose of the soul of this young priest and for the health of Fr. Terra, as well as for strength for their families and their parishioners in this tragedy. Rev. Fr. Armand de Malleray, FSSP"

Please remember to pray for all our priests.


God bless you!

Words from Our Blessed Mother on Modesty/Purity

The following are words from the Blessed Mother:

"More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason."
"Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much."
"Woe to women lacking in modesty."


The following are words from Blessed Jacinta Marto, who, along with Blessed Francisco Marto and Lucia dos Santos, had seen a vision of Hell:

"Oh, Hell! Oh, Hell!" "Mother of God have pity on those who do not amend their lives." "If men only know what awaits them in eternity, they would do everything in their power to change their lives."

I don't mean to be a downer by sharing this.  I just hope that those who read this will realize how important it is to be modest and pure. :)


God bless you!

Happy Memorial Day!

Prayer for Deceased Veterans

O God, by Whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, 

look kindly on Your departed veterans 
who gave their lives in the service of their country. 

Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of Your Son 

they may share in the joy of your heavenly kingdom 

and rejoice in You with Your saints forever. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

A sincere thank you to all veterans, police officers, firemen, and 
all who risk/have risked their lives to protect millions from harm.  
May God bless you all abundantly!

Please Pray With Me

*update* the black mass was indefinitely canceled! Our prayers are working! Let's just keep praying that they don't reschedule. 

Today, Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts will host a black mass from 7 to 9pm.  Please visit www.rcspiritualdirection.com/blog/2014/05/12/exorcist-perspective-harvard-black-mass for more information. This will hurt Our Lord very much.  I will be saying extra prayers within those hours that it will be canceled and for those involved in the black mass. Please pray with me!

God bless you!

Happy Mother's Day!

The Most Important Person

on earth is a mother. She

cannot claim the honor of

having built Notre Dame

Cathedral. She need not. She

has built something more

magnificent than any

cathedral—a dwelling for an

immortal soul, the tiny

perfection of her baby's

body...The angels have not

been blessed with such a

grace. They cannot share in

God's creative miracle to bring

new saints to Heaven. Only a

human mother can. Mothers

are closer to God the Creator

than any other creature; God

joins forces with mothers in

performing this act of

creation... What on God's

good earth is more glorious

than this: to be a mother?

—Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty

God bless you!

God bless you!
