last night...

Last night DH and I were at the MBS Adoration Chapel for our weekly Holy Hour when 2 of our friends, Randy and Carmen entered the chapel. After a few minutes of prayer Randy asked DH and I if we would mind if he broke the holy silence in order to ask Carmen for her hand in marriage!

Naturally, we gave our consent. After all, God gave us tongues for speaking, and wisdom to know when to speak and when to stay silent. Last night was one of those times to speak...

She said yes, and so I would like to ask you to remember our friends Randy and Carmen as they begin to prepare themselves to receive the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

A Wife's Prayer

Lord, I come into your presence to say a special prayer for my husband.

Thank you for the blessing of a godly life companion. I pray that You would continue to grow in him a deep and abiding love for You.

Guide him, I pray, as he guides this family; give him wisdom and understanding. Invigorate him with the knowledge of Your grace, and refine him with Your truth.

I pray that I would be a helper, a source of encouragement; and I pray that he would find this home to be a place of rest and refreshment.

Amen.

St. Paul, pray that America follows in your footsteps.

Because our country needs to undergo a great conversion, one as great as the one St. Paul experienced!

Novena Prayer

O glorious St. Paul, after persecuting the Church you became, by God's grace, Her most zealous Apostle. To carry the knowledge of Jesus, our Divine Savior, to the uttermost parts of the earth.

You joyfully endured prison, scourgings, stonings, and a shipwreck, as well as all manner of persecutions, culminating in the shedding of the last drop of your blood for Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Obtain for us the grace to labor strenuously to bring the Faith to others and to accept any trials and tribulations that may come our way. Help us to be inspired by your Epistles and to partake of your indomitable love for Jesus, so that after we have finished our course we may join you in praising Him in heaven for all eternity.

Amen.
