November

November
The month of November is upon us. We are entering the marvelous season devoted to the dead. The Feast of All Souls is celebrated on November 2 nd. There is not one saint who has more than one given Feast Day. However, the whole month of November is given over to the remembrance of the deceased. Make this November the best on in your life.

Our Lord told St. Gertrude, that the following prayer would release 1000 Souls from Purgatory each time is said. The prayer was extended to include living sinners which would alleviate the indebteness accured to them during their lives.

,,Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family, Amen."

Hold me, Jesus

Hold me, Jesus
Hold me ,Jesus, when I'm sad
And things are, oh, so wrong
Help me see beyond the hurt
Place in my heart a song
Hold me, Jesus, when I cry
And see world through tears
Comfort me with whispered words
That drive away my fears
Hold me, Jesus, let me feel
The wonder of Thy love
As I lift my eyes to Thee
Send peace from above
And when at last my heart is still
You loving arms around me
Let me look upon Thy face
And see Thy wondrous glory !

To His wondrous love

And feel the presence

Of His Spirit above

And His love ever true

Like sunbeams from Heaven

Will shine down upon you

So look upward and onward

With every beginning

Comes a fresh new start

Hope

H O P E

Hope is the enchor we cling to

When we're tempest-tossed on life sea

Hope gives us courage to hang on

No matter how bad things may be

Hope is a candle that's shining

When we've lost course in the night

Steadfast its light as it guides us

Back to the path we know is right

Hope brings new strength for life's journey

Endurance for running the race

When we are tired hope helps us

To keep a brave smile on our face

Hope sees a brighter tomorrow

And helps set our gaze toward the sky

Knowing behind every dark cloud

A rainbow appears by and by

Hope tells us to keep dreaming

Although our dream seems far away

Hope plants a song in our being

A joyous song to greet each day

Hope is a priceless possession

A gift that forever its promise

Child after the night comes the dawn

>>>B.J.Anderson<<<

Reach out for Him

Reach out for Him

When your days are darkest

The whole world seems bleak and bare

Just reach out your hand

And you will find Him there

When you are afraid and lonely

Need someone to really care

Just reach out your hand

And you will find Him there

When your thoughts run rampant

You think - Can this be fair?

Just reach out your hand

And you will find Him there

Although your steps may falter

As you climb life's winding stair

Just reach out your hand

And you will find Him there

And then when you travel on again

With many years to spare

Remember, that when you reach out

He is always there.

>>>A.L.Winters<<<

Lord, give me faith

Lord, give me faith

Help me to walk with patience, Lord

Help me to watch and pray

I know that You have heard my cry

The sun will shine some day

Help me to seek Your will, dear Lord

O, keep me brave and true

I know not what is best for me

Send faith to see me through

Help me to walk each step with hope

Though I can't see the light

Lord, take my hand and lead the way

Oh, guide me day and night

Hour by hour, Lord, give me faith

Faith that never asks why

Whatever is, Lord, help me say

Save in Your care am I

Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary

Blessed Virgin Mary, the mysteries of the rosary lead us to meditate on the life of Jesus, the Redeemer. May our meditation on the mysteries of our salvetion bring us to live the life of Christ in the world. May we imitate what these holy mysteries contain and receive what they promise. Amen

In faith I pray

In Faith I Pray

Gracious Lord, merciful Lord
As I kneel to pray
Look on all those that I love
Tenderly, today
Rid their hearts of weariness
Erase their every care
Let them know, thru faith in You
That life is sweet, and fair
Bring to all the sorrowing
ANd those who are in pain
Joy and comfort, from the heart
Let them smile again
I pray for all the needy
And those who are alone
Unite them with their loved ones
One day before Your throne
The world beyond awaits us
All who believe and pray
And love our neighbor as ourself
As we go on our way

The Master's Miracle

The Master's Miracle

In the Autumn morning's sunlight
when the air is crystal clear
not one ,,Old Masters" painting
with its beauty cold compare
Each tree is splashed with color
made not by human brush
for who of us could capture
the beauty of the hush ?
the pale blue sky's the background
my window is the frame....
it'a called ,, The Master's Miracle"
of turning leaves to flame
>>>H.Sharp<<<

When in need

When in need of a Friend

When in need of a friend
look around you
you need never be alone
many truehearts
will surround you
grown from the seeds
you have sown
for every small deed
has its blossom
that feeds on a smile or a word
or a handclasp that says
,,I am with you"
a message unspoken but heard

>>>E.Jackman<<<

The power of prayer

The power of prayer

I cannot face the day alone

not knowing what is there

so I must seek the Fathers Will

as I kneel down in prayer

I need His guidance every day

upon this path of life

to give me peace, so deep within

while facing fears and strife

He sees me through the valley days

but when my heart soars high

He shares my joy laughter too

yet sees each tear I cry

so early in the morning, when

the day is fresh and new

I bow before the Father's throne

and pray for strength anew

then when the nighttime shadows fall

upon my pillow there

I cannot fall asleep before

I go to God in prayer

Dear Lord, I thank You for Your love

for You are always there

and for the line that's open, Lord

when I kneel down in prayer

Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima

O Most Haly Virgin Mary, Quin of the Most holy Rosary, you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima and reveal a glorious message. We implore you, inspire in our hearts a fervent love for the recitation of the Rosary. By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption that are recalled therein may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask, through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer.

Tell it to Jesus

Tell it to Jesus

When your heart is full of troubles
and the teardrops of despair
do not cry and pine and worry
tell it to the Lord in prayer

Pray to Him for love and comfort
when your teoubles make you cry
He is always in your presence
with the comforts life denies

Tell Him of the griefs and heartaches
that the burdens in your life
and the wishes that you pray for
to becalm your tears and strife

He will touch your heart with comfort
and His love of holy grace
in a sanctity of blessings
and the warmth of His embrace

>>>M.Dubina<<<

Blessed be God, who did not refuse me the kindness I sought in prayer.......

Just walk beside me

Just walk beside me

Don't walk too far ahead, I may not follow.....

your steps are so much swifter than my own

if I lose sight of you within the distance

I doubt I can continue on alone

Don't walk too far behind, I may not lead.....

I lack the strength of soul that you possess

and if you lost oyur way because of me

the both of us would face a wilderness

But walk beside me.... so that I may know

the sweet companionship your presence brings

so may we, hand - in - hand and heart - to - heart

help each other on to higher things

Sunset

Sunset The sunset's like a fire in the sky
orange, gold and amber-hued
the day has come and gone
and rest brightly in the blue
the sun - a reflacting light
on thoughts as the day closes
was today well - spent?
for soon the sun reposes...
the glow of the day is fading
and soon will be past
have we made a memory
that will keep and last?
embers of light glow softly
soon the sun will rest
did we add our light to the world?
can we say "I did my best?"
the glow of daylight closes
the glory of God in the heavens
we'll have a new sunrise !

Look up to the skies and behold

regard the heavens high above you

Seasons of Life

Seasons of life
Spring is like a beauty fair
of being born anew
to sweetness of this time in life
when everything is new

Summer is a learning time
this expierence sincere
our God is more pronounced in us
we can feel Him ever near

The Fall of life is when we feel
the changing of the guard
a sweet and gentle day of life
for which we've worked so hard

In Winter we all turn
from all of the past's sweet scenes
we find them in our memory
we feel them in our dreams

So, we live life's seasons
how grand it was to be
trying all of the time, my God
to be closer yet.......to Thee.
