Prayer Before Surgery With Dad - May 2, 2013 My Dad recently had a Nuclear Stress Test and the results showed that his heart isn't functioning properly. He had not told us that he had been having some shortness of breath and palpitations and such…ugh… They aren't sure what is wrong — if it's something with his Quadruple Bypass (that they 10 years ago yesterday), or something new. In order to discover that, today they will do a Cardiac Catheterization — during which a long ...http://closeddoorsopenwindows.wordpress.com/2013/05/02/prayer-before-surgery-with-dad/
Pruned DEDICATED DISCIPLE - April 30, 2013 Today's Gospel Text : Jesus said to his disciples: "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DedicatedDisciple/~3/IB5gKWpv6bU/pruned.html

Pope: Preparing for the Heavenly Homeland NEWS.VA - April 26, 2013 (Vatican Radio) Our journey of faith is not one of alienation, but prepares our hearts to see the beautiful face of God: this was Pope Francis' message during Mass in the Domus Sanctae Marthae.

The Link Between Wisdom Teeth, Vocational Discernment and the Intercession of St. Apollonia GOD ALONE SUFFICETH - April 21, 2013 "I am the Good Shepherd." © GodAloneSufficeth.com 2013 Please pardon my absence from my blog. The life of one who is discerning Carmel includes: eat, sleep, pray, and work – I'm still trying to fit "blog" into one of those categories. However, this week, on Good Shepherd Sunday, also World Day of Prayer for Vocations, I think I may have found a way to combine my current situation and discernment into a post. Two days ago, ...http://godalonesufficeth.wordpress.com/2013/04/21/the-link-between-wisdom-teeth-vocational-discernment-and-the-intercession-of-st-apollonia/
An Urgent Plea for Prayers - April 20, 2013 I receive many requests to pray for people, but this is one of the most heart breaking pleas that I've seen in a long time. This young woman needs a miracle! Although her situation looks grim, we know that "what is impossible with men is possible with God" (Luke 18:27). A novena to Saint Gianna (asking for a miraculous healing) begins today (April 20).

THE INWARD TEMPLE: PRAYER IN THE ORTHODOX TRADITION by H.R.H PRINCESS ILEANA OF ROMANIA MONKS AND MERMAIDS (A BENEDICTINE BLOG) - April 12, 2013 The Inward Temple. There is no need to weep much over the destruction of a church; after all, each of us, according to God's mercy, has or should have his own church—the heart; go in there and pray, as much as you have strength and time. If this church is not well made and is abandoned (without inward prayer), then the visible church will be of little benefit. —Archbishop Barlaam to Abbess M., Russia's ...http://fatherdavidbirdosb.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-inward-temple.html

No Child Is Ever "Unwanted" FIVE FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL - April 5, 2013 On one of the days I was up at the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil in Bedford Square with a friend this Lent I happened, as I walked back for the train, to see that the local pro-choice group had set up camp around the people praying. We stopped and had what proved to be an interesting (albeit short) talk about our differing views on abortion. Surprisingly we had more common ground than I had expected. She asked me why I was pro-life; my answer was that I did not believe that ...http://fivefeetabovesealevel.blogspot.com/2013/04/no-child-is-ever-unwanted.html
Thank You Pro-Life Action Ministries! CATHOLIC HOTDISH - April 4, 2013 It was one of those days. In the morning I had my eyes dialated. Driving was difficult. I needed groceries–I wanted to cook a meal for a friend who had back surgery. The twins were cranky and needed their naps. The big kids were pokey. It was rainy and cold. There were dozens of excuses. There always are. But it was Good Friday, and we have a family tradition of praying in front of St. Paul's Planned Parenthood. The service is ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CatholicHotdish/~3/V3qQ5NgkmOI/
Archbishop Prays for Leeds Children's Heart Unit CLERICAL WHISPERS - April 3, 2013 The Archbishop of York led a pilgrimage of "prayer and trust" to Leeds Children's Heart Unit over the weekend. Dr John Sentamu spent time praying with staff, parents and families during his visit on Saturday. "We must support all involved," he said. The Archbishop has been a vocal supporter of the unit, which has been the subject of a lengthy campaign to save it from closure. Campaigners won a victory at the High Court last month when the judge ruled that the Joint Committee ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/04/archbishop-prays-for-leeds-childrens_4.html
Humbling Experience ROSARY MOM - April 1, 2013 ... this prayer service and not only was it my first time, my pastor asked if I'd be willing to give a 5 minute reflection on the second word of Jesus: "This Day You Shall Be With Me In Paradise" Thankfully, it was a bilingual Mass and the first and third reflections were spoken in Spanish so I had no idea how different they were than mine. I had no idea what to do. In fact, I was quite stressed out about it. Even though I'm a lector at Friday morning Mass, I'm not that ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RosaryMom/~3/38A0QbkPUtg/humbling-experience.html

Carmel, intercede for John Stop and say a prayer for a fellow secular Carmelite from out of state, John, who is having surgery on his aorta today. This is very risky surgery.

Timothy Gallagher OMV at the beginning of his book on Ignatian meditation and contemplation reports the following prayer experience: A woman was ready to pray. These were days of retreat dedicated to prayer with Scripture. This day she felt drawn to pray with the trial of Jesus. She writes: The scene came alive in my imagination and my heart.

The Cult of Youth THE CURT JESTER - March 18, 2013 ... "couldn't they find someone younger?" I also bought into the expectation of somebody relatively younger somewhere in the sixties or very early seventies. In some ways it is surprising that a man only two years younger than Pope Benedict XVI was elected. The pope's resignation due to age you would have thought would have weighed more in the thinking of the cardinal-electors. Perhaps though Benedict's resignation might have actually provided a way forward for ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/splendoroftruth/lNZE/~3/X8jvD6JLVbE/
