    Today I begin the Novena for five dear ladies. Two of which are in fear and waiting to see if their cancer has spread, and the other three are in constant pain due to cancer.

    For :Jane, Karen, Jill, Genia and Debbie,,,,,,,,,,,,,,In Jesus name I pray.

    Amen.

    Rosemary.. another idea... get the Holy Card ( lamented... if you do not have one.. PM your addy and I will get one to you..).. then... put a hole in it ( punch hole).. and put it on your  key chain. :) You will see it everyday...:)

    A Prayer for when in Pain... ( as so many of us are during and after BC)

    When in Pain:

    God of Compassion, You know of my pain. Strengthen me and my faith in You. Even in this pain, help me experience and know Your presence. Strengthen my faith when I despair. Give me the assurance of Your eternal love. Amen

    This is NOT for advertising... I have a devout Catholic family site I have ordered things on for YEARS now. It is family of 15 I think. They are wonderful and in NY.

    If ANYONE wants the online shopping addy... let me know. I make NO money with them.. and I do NOT know them. But due to the devout Christian family they are.. I do order ANYTHING I need from them. Great prices too.

    Blessings!

    I use the "Magnificat" book to do morning and evening prayer and to follow the readings at the daily masses, and that is where I keep my novena cards, as well. I don't leave the house without my "Magnificat" It is small enough for my pocketbook, is great to have to prepare before Mass, to read on a bus...or waiting in a doctor's office! :). That along with my Rosary beads.

    I have a prayer card to the Blessed Mother that I wrote on the bottom of it "And for all the intentions I have been asked to pray for" because I don't want to forget anybody's!  If you would like more info on this book you can get info at www.magnificat.com.

    God Bless All!

    Angel

    PS...when I am in pain, I try to remember to ask the Good Lord to join my pain with the pain of His passion in order to save my soul and the souls of others who have  no one to pray for them.  This way, our pain is never in vain!

    If I may share with you what I read daily until I had my healing... it gave me strength!

    Mark 11:24

    " Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."

    It was my daily reminder.

    oops.. edited to add...

    I had this verse typed and laminated. I keep them in my purse. They are to give out to those who despair and are needing Jesus peace.. ( I do not push Jesus.. or the Bible.. or the Church...).. I say what I believe.. and if they wanna talk.. I am there.. if not.. I DO NOT PUSH my faith on them.. I TRY to do what Jesus did.. walk away and Pray.

     I just looked.. I only have a few more left. I need to get to Kinkos....:).....

    Laura,

    Del is in my prayers tonight...it is sad that he has not been in church...that would have helped him tremendously, but God sees what is in his heart...and that will be of great importance when they meet face to face.

    Bless him...

    Laura, that is terrific news about Jane!  Praise the Lord!

    Ladies, I've just come from Heidi's thread, and I'm in tears.  I'm starting the novena again for her and for Stephanie.  It's breaking my heart to see how sick they are; they have young children, and I am weeping for them all. 

    Day 1...for Heidi and Stephanie.  In the name of Jesus, Amen.

    Fellow disciples...a prayer for all of us when we cannot make it to Mass and Communion...see the story and prayer below..

    Send Your Angel to Mass


    This very special prayer was written by a devout woman named Ruth Merz from Cincinnati, Ohio. Ruth was the mother of eight children who was diagnosed with cancer, which eventually and sadly claimed her life. Unable to attend mass because of her illness, she wrote this wonderful prayer. We hope that her words will convey special meaning to those who are ill and to their friends and families who care for them. Please feel free to share it with anyone that you feel might benefit from it.


    SEND YOUR ANGEL TO MASS:


    O' Holy angel at my side
    Go to church for me
    Kneel in my place at Holy Mass
    Where I desire to be.

    At offertory in my stead
    Take all I am and own
    And place it as a sacrifice
    Upon the Altar throne.

    At Holy Consecration bell,
    Adore with Seraph's love
    My Jesus hidden in the Host
    Come down from Heaven above.

    There pray for those I dearly love
    And those that cause me grief
    That Jesus' blood may cleanse all hearts
    Give suffering souls relief.

    That when the priest Communion takes
    Then bring my Lord to me
    That His sweet heart may rest in mine
    And I His temple be.

    Pray that the sacrifice divine
    May all man's sin efface
    Then bring me Jesus' blessing home
    The pledge of every grace.

    Amen
