Image
  “Our Infant Lord, frightened by the instruments of His passion, runs into the embrace of His Most Holy Mother. Notice His little sandal slipping off, exemplifying the haste in which he ran into Mary’s arms. Their joint hands are a profound message to us that in the hands of Our Blessed Mother lies all graces, for she is the Church’s Perpetual Help.” ~ Joan Carroll Cruz, Miraculous Images of Our Lady Our Mother of Perpetual Help, Pray for Us! Today, June 27, is the solemn feast of our Mother of Perpetual Help. O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee, for, in all my needs, in all my temptations I shall never cease to call on thee, ever repeating thy sacred name, Mary, Mary. O what consolation, what sweetness, what

Let us pray . . . .

Image
    (Received in email)   Be still for a while and praise God for His favor, His grace and His awesomeness. God is able to do the impossible and is always near. He loves us unconditionally. Let's all say this prayer: Dear God, These are my friends whom I love and this is my prayer for them. Help them live their life to the fullest. Please cause them to excel above their expectations. Help them to shine in the darkest places where it is impossible to love. Protect them at all times, lift them up when they need You the most, and let them know when they walk with You, they will always be safe. Amen!

What we think of as roadblocks can be God's "road blessings" in disguise . . . . There would be less road rage if there were more road Rosaries being prayed . . . . When we travel with Our Mother Mary, God surely travels along with us . . . . . End of school year blessings! ++++++++++ I love this....................... this morning I was praying the rosary like I do every morning on my drive to work. I imagine that Mary is traveling with me to keep me safe on the dangerous highways in Dallas! this morning I was hungry.................... I told myself in between decades that i would be fine until lunch time. I thought about breakfast as I prayed and suddenly found myself exiting to McDonald's. I finished the rosary in line there and proceeded to get back on the freeway after getting my or
