Time for me to get off of the computer, and to get my priorities back in line!

A great read, and a new devotion
Well, it's not really a new devotion, it's just new to me. It all started with this book, which my sister-in-law gave to me for Christmas 2009:
I started reading it this week, and finished it today. It is a wonderful, easy-to-read, inspiring account of the appearances of the Blessed Mother in Africa just prior to the Rwandan massacre. I recommend it to you without any reservations at all!
The book mentions that the Blessed Mother asked that the Seven Sorrows Rosary be prayed--not as a replacement for the traditional (Dominican) rosary, but as an addition. I decided that I wanted to begin adding this devotion to my prayer life, and started searching for a set of the proper rosary beads. After seeing a photo of the rosary, I realized that I already owned a Servite Rosary (or Seven Sorrows Rosary). It came in the mail 10 or 12 years ago with a letter from the Servants of Mary (the Servites) and a fundraising appeal--before I had even heard of Rwanda, and years before the massacre--so after searching through a few drawers that hold various religious articles I found it.
So on Tuesdays and Fridays (the days Our Lady especially asked that the Servite Rosary be prayed) I'll be adding this to my prayers. Would you like to join me?
(Immaculee will be in Lafayette, LA for a woman's retreat in April--I'm hoping to be able to attend. Please say a prayer that I can clear my schedule and attend the retreat. Thank you!)

An Election Day Prayer
"Come Holy Spirit and Saint Michael! Come to us, all Angels of Good Government appointed by God the Father to vouchsafe the elections that are taking place in the United States! Inspire us and others to vote in such a way that will ensure respect for human life from conception to natural death; prosperity, peace, and dignity for all within our borders and beyond in accord with the holy will of Jesus Christ for America and its allies. On these feasts of All Souls and All Saints, we beg for the extraordinary and miraculous intercession of every soul in heaven, especially the souls and guardian angels of all of our countless millions of sanctified citizens, relatives, and friends of the United States who have passed from this earth, reaching back in all of human history. God the Father, Unleash Your Awesome Power upon this nation consecrated and dedicated by American Catholics and their bishops to the Immaculate Heart of Mary! O Mary, intercede on election day! We promise you, we will vote in a prayerful and responsible way. Amen!"
