Intercession of St. Padre Pio

Prayer for the Intercession of St. Padre Pio

Dear God, You generously blessed your servant, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, with the gifts of the Spirit.  You marked his body with the five wounds of Christ Crucified, as a powerful witness to the saving Passion and Death of Your Son.  Endowed with the gift of discernment, St. Pio labored endlessly in the confessional for the salvation of souls.  With reverence and intense devotion in the celebration of Mass, he invited countless men and women to a greater union with Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

Through the intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, I confidently beseech You to grant me the grace of (here state your petition).

Glory be to the Father... (three times).

Amen.

Oh Mary, conceived without sin, 

pray for us who have recourse to thee!

You Belong

I sing you a song

A song whereby you belong

You belong to Me

Don't you see?

I lay My Hands on you

Yes it is true

And soon all will see

There will be no room for disbelief

Listen, for I am singing

Do you not hear the ringing?

The ringing in your ears?

For I am so near

My song to you is Holy!

Holy! Holy! Holy!

For you are wholly Mine

Forevermore

So chin up My Sweet

For by the end of this week

You will begin to see

What I mean

I love you!

The above poem came to me a few days back when I was feeling a tad blue.  I was talking to Jesus and saying how I was feeling like I don't really belong.  Where do I belong?  I've been feeling like that especially lately.  So today I typed it up and upon completion the above song was playing on Jackie's I-Pad.  It fit perfectly!

Praise God!

Novena to St. Gabriel, Archangel

I am in need of help.  I feel strongly the attacks of the enemy.  The intercession of the saints is powerful!  We can't even begin to try to go it alone in this wicked world.  We must have help from above.  Help me and my family Saint Gabriel!  Help this world!  We need you!

Novena to St. Gabriel the Archangel

Saint Gabriel the Archangel, I venerate you as the Angel of the Incarnation, because God specially appointed you to bear the messages concerning the God-Man to Daniel, Zechariah, and the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Give me a very tender and devoted love for the Incarnate Word and his Blessed Mother, more like your own.

I venerate you also as the "Strength from God", because you are the giver of God's strength, consoler and comforter chosen to strengthen God's faithful and teach them important truths.  I ask for the grace of  a special power of the will to strive for holiness of life.  Steady my resolutions; renew my courage; comfort and console me in the problems, trials and sufferings of daily living, as you consoled our Savior in His agony and Mary in her sorrows and Joseph in his trials.  I put my confidence in you.

Saint Gabriel, I ask you especially for this favor; (mention your request).  Through your earnest love for the Son of God made man and for His Blessed Mother, I beg of you, intercede for me that my request may be granted, if it be God's holy will.

Pray for us, Saint Gabriel the Archangel.  That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.

Say this Novena nine times in a row for nine days in a row.

Have a Blessed Day!

The Secret Place

"Be faithful to your secret place, and it will become your closest friend and bring you much comfort.  

In silence and stillness a devout person grows spiritually and learns the hidden things of the Bible.

 Tears shed there bring cleansing.  God draws near to the one who withdraws for a while.  

It is better for you to look after yourself this way in private than to perform wonders in public while neglecting your soul."

Quote From...

Thomas A Kempis

Remember The Poor Souls

To Our Lovely Jackie!

Be Watchful!

I received Two Rhema words...  

"Be Watchful"

and...

"My child I am standing by to help you if you will enlist me."

St. Padre Pio

Also, this morning I randomly opened "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young to February 17, pg. 50...

"I am the Risen One who shines upon you always.  You worship a living Deity, not some idolatrous, man-made image.  Your relationship with Me is meant to be vibrant and challenging, as I invade more and more areas of your life.  

Do not fear change, for I am making you a new creation, with old things passing away and new things continually on the horizon.  When you cling to old ways and sameness, you resist My work within you.  I want you to embrace all that I am doing in your life, finding your security in Me alone.

It is easy to make an idol of routine, finding security within the boundaries you build around your life.  Although each day contains twenty-four hours, every single one presents a unique set of circumstances.  Don't try to force-fit today into yesterday's mold.  Instead, ask Me to open your eyes so you can find all I have prepared for you in this precious day of Life."

Matthew 28:5-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17

Prayer for the Intercession of St. Padre Pio

Dear God, You generously blessed your servant, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, with the gifts of the Spirit.  You marked his body with the five wounds of Christ Crucified, as a powerful witness to the saving Passion and Death of Your Son.  Endowed with the gift of discernment, St. Pio labored endlessly in the confessional for the salvation of souls.  With reverence and intense devotion in the celebration of Mass, he invited countless men and women to a greater union with Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

The Lord is My Refuge

"I want to become a saint and I trust that God's mercy can make a saint even out of such misery as I am, because I am utterly in good will.  In spite of all my defeats, I want to go on fighting like a holy soul and to comport myself like a holy soul.  I will not be discouraged by anything, just as nothing can discourage a soul who is holy.

Because you have the Lord for your refuge; you have made the Most High your stronghold... no evil shall befall you nor affliction come near your tent, For to His angels He has given the command about you that they guard you in all your ways.

Paul labored for the edification and salvation of others as much as he could... but he could not prevent at times, being judged or despised."

Rhema words 11/11/18

Psalm 11...

"In the Lord I take refuge

How then can you say to me:

"Flee like a bird to your mountain"

For look, the wicked bend their bows;

they set their arrows against the strings

to shoot from the shadows

at the upright in heart

When the foundations are being destroyed,

what can the righteous do?

The Lord is in His holy temple

The Lord is on His heavenly throne

He observes everyone on earth;

His eyes examine them

The Lord examines the righteous

but the wicked, those who love violence

He hates with a passion

On the wicked He will rain

fiery coals and burning sulfur;

a scorching wind will be their lot.

For the Lord is righteous,

He loves justice;

The upright will see His face.

Psalm 11

  

God's Whistle

November 9, 2018 at around 3:36 a.m. I was awoke by a whistle.  I heard it on my right side.  It definitely was a whistle, not a horn or voice.

In the morning I opened my first Rhema word for the day and it read...

"Take courage, get up, the Master is calling you."

I also looked up some scriptures regarding the whistle...

Zecharia 10:8 "I will whistle for them to gather them together, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they were before."

Isaiah 5:26 "And He will lift up a sign to the nations afar off, and will whistle to them from the ends of the earth; and behold they shall come with speed swiftly."

Also, that same day while my mom and I were at Walmart, we passed a couple, they were talking to each other as they walked, and exactly upon passing me I hear the gentleman say,  "It's a good crossover."  What makes this significant is I just had been reading an article by Neville Johnson called "Crossing Over".

Then as we shopped, I said "Mom, listen to the song playing!"  It was the song "Africa", which I spoke of here.,, Music, Music, Music.

Then to top it all off as we walked out of Walmart, my phone rumbled because a video came up.  The video was "The Shofar Blows!"  As I'm pushing my cart in the parking lot, I take out my phone and as I read this there is a car horn going off right next to us!

Everything happens for a reason!  There are no coincidences.  The time is at hand.  The time is now.

We need Jesus!  

Stay close to Him!  

He is our everything!

"Having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of His might."

Ephesians 1:18-19

After I typed this the Inspirational Devotion for the Day popped up on my phone with the above scripture!

Praise God!

Why does this song "Africa" follow me around?

Go Fish

The other day we had steak.  The following morning Nick wanted me to heat up the leftovers.  When I placed the leftover steak on the plate, we had to laugh.  

Wow!  If that doesn't look like a fish!  

Earlier in this same day I saw something sticking out below our television set while sweeping the floor.  It was a "Go Fish" card for kids.  And I thought to myself... go fishing.  Fisher's of men.

Wow!  I love these little surprises!

My Kind of Carved Pumpkin!

Deliverance

On October 17, 2018 I drove to the cemetery to pray for the poor souls.  I wondered and hoped my prayers would help someone.

I drove around the outside lane.  There was no one there walking and no cars.  I passed the memorial graves that have a roofed little structure with names of those buried there.  No one was around anywhere!

I was going to leave, but thought I'd make a quick sweep down the middle lane then leave.  As I came around the corner I saw a lady standing in front of that Memorial structure.  I found it odd because no one was there 40 seconds prior!  It was odd how she stood facing it (her back to me) without moving and having her face a couple inches from it.  It just looked odd.

Her back was to me, but as soon as I saw her I had a sense about her, something was different.  Slowly she started walking.  I drove slowly next to her to leave.  She looked straight ahead, never giving me a glance.  She had a rain coat on with the hood up and sun glasses.  Right away I thought... she's incognito.  My eyes were drawn to her wrist which had a red rope-like cord around it.  It wasn't like a bracelet it was a cord.  I found it odd!

Upon leaving the cemetary I sensed in my spirit... she is a poor soul just delivered from purgatory by your prayers.  She was allowed to come because she wanted you to know that prayers are important  and work!

I found out later the red rope-like cord on her wrist could be what is called Rahab's Red Rope of Deliverance!  Could it be she was just delivered from purgatory?  Could it be?

Confirmation:  I was led to randomly open my Red Book Streams in the Desert page 154 May 22 & May 23.  Here is an excerpt from it...

"He worketh." (Psalm 37:5)

"Roll upon Jehovah thy way; trust upon Him; and he worketh."  It calls our attention to the immediate action of God when we truly commit, or roll out of our hands into His, the burden of whatever kind it may be; a way of sorrow, of difficulty, of physical need, or of anxiety for the conversion of some dear one.  He "worketh" when? Now."

and EDIHP pg. 156 "Right Hearing".

Could it be?

Think about it.

Remember the Poor Souls.

God Bless.

September 12 2018

I heard this morning...

Look for My little surprises throughout your day.  It's like a treasure hunt.  I jumped out of bed and said, "Oh my Jesus, You are not only God of all things, our Creator and kind and merciful God, but You are also fun!"

I heard... "I like that!"

Odyssey - A long wandering or voyage usually marked by many changes of fortune.  An Epic journey.  An odyssey of self discovery.  A spiritual quest is an example of Odyssey. (YourDictionary.com)

Yesterday this above video by Akiane Kramarik popped up on my phone.  I felt led to watch it a few times.  I knew it was significant, but did not know why.

This morning upon waking I sensed in my spirit..

"Look for my little surprises throughout your day.  

It's like a treasure hunt."

This morning while dropping Jackie off at school, I was waiting at a stoplight when my eyes were drawn to the name of the vehicle in front of us and it was... Odyssey!

Also, I don't know why... yet, but driving past the Fairgrounds, my eyes were drawn to signs as I passed them... "Gate 5",  "Gate 4".  For some reason I knew there is a reason for it.

Where this treasure hunt leads is exciting indeed! 

Today while picking Jackie up from school.  We asked the angels to help us with the treasure hunt and as I looked at Jackie sitting at a stop sign.  I noticed on the glass window of the Feed and Grain in large white letters HORSE POWER with a large horse next to it.  I never noticed it before!

I go home and look up Horsepower and randomly click into a site called "HorsepowerKids"  it's a place for children to ride horses. But what is interesting the page I clicked into had a heading...  "The Doors of Opportunity are Wide Open

While picking up Jackie I looked down the park entrance road and noticed the speed limit sign the number 10. 

I had a strong desire to find a lost journal of mine from 2014.  I especially wanted to reread an entry regarding Olivet.  I come to find the journal with the entry and upon rereading it I was surprised and amazed that I made the entry on September 12, 2018 today's date only four years earlier September 12, 2014!   

Here's the entry Olivet... Jesus is going to take you there!  Jesus will talk with you so you know and will understand what will happen in the future end times."

I came across a video by Pearl Kolleri she said "It has begun, Kingdom against Kingdom"  I had also heard that in my spirit.  Also, she mentioned the white horse (I had posted about the Horse called "Odyssey") She said that the white horse of revelation is pictured carrying a bowl to collect his arrows.  She said that the horse is also carrying a crown of flowers (or laurel leaves, the victory crown).  Shortly after hearing this video I step on something sharp in Brooke's room.  I pick it up and it is a ring.  I look up the style of the ring and it is a Wreath Ring!  It has laurel leaves on it!!  By the way Brooke nor any one else around here said they saw this ring before!  I heard in my spirit... "Put it on". 

Also on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 we went to a "Sip and Paint" and I painted a sign that read "Gather"!  It was one that they offered for you to paint!  So I picked that one!

Also Pearl said she listened to a video made by Rhonda Empson (which was dated September 12, 2018!).  Rhonda spoke of "Fletch" which is the feathers put on arrows to make them ready for flight.  She also mentioned seeing a pencil that was bright green, odd how I had a bright green shirt the day I picked up the pizza (see post Clothed in Christ)

  

Music, Music, Music

Jackie all throughout this school year thus far is doing great!  Such a difference from the beginning of last year.  She's much calmer and happier and we do contribute some of this to the music.

Over the summer she began viewing and listening to classical music, music by the Piano Guys, Simply Three and others.  She loves imitating playing the cello, violin and trumpets.

The teachers noticed a difference getting her to cooperate if they played her music for her on her I-Pad.  They are now playing music as a soft background for the entire special needs classroom.  Its making a difference!

It's partly the music!  We know this to be true.  Yes, partly music, but in whole... God.

In my post of  September 15, 2018 entitled "A Song Within You", I sensed I was told after pondering on darks days that may lie ahead... "You will have struggles, but your heart will sing again!  You have a song within you!"

That resignates strongly with me.  We have a song that we carry within us.  It is in our very soul.  We know this song.  We've known it all along.  It is there.  It is in our DNA.

So much is in the music.  It's in the song.  It won't be long and we will be singing it.  For even though it is an ancient melody, it is familiar.  Our memories will be spurned and we will sing with all our heart and soul.  It was written by the Almighty God, and we carry it within us.

On October 22, 2018 my son came home and commented how he couldn't believe on the way home on his radio the song "Africa" by Toto was playing on the radio.  It's such an old song he said.  I thought well... so what?  Then a few hours later I went to Mass upon driving home the song "Africa" came on the radio.  I thought well... how odd?  

So I looked into the song and found that nobody really understands what it is about.  The writer of the song and vocalist David Paich said he didn't really know why he wrote those words, but they just flowed to him like from a higher power.  Ever since then he and others have different ideas what it is about and came up with some scenarios.  No matter, it was a top hit in the eighties.  I guess it had a good beat.  In the lyrics... "Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies."  and "Gonna take some time to do the things we never had."  were intriguing.

However, this song kept coming back to me.  I awoke two nights in a row with it's melody playing in my head.  I don't know what it is about this song... but there is something different, perhaps special.  Or... maybe not.  Who knows.

  

I hear the drums echoing tonight.

Can you hear it?

No Where To Go... But Up!

Dream on October 26, 2018...

I was in a church with my family.  We are sitting in the pews and I get up to go upstairs.  Kim asked me "Where are you going?  Sit down!"  I said, "No, I have to go upstairs!"

I start climbing the stairs amongst pews and pews of people pushing my way past a tight crowd until I reach the very top pew. 

I was dressed in a white dress with beautiful, colorful flowers on it.  My hair was long and curled.  I wanted a certain person to see me.  I was hoping he would see me all dressed up like that (I know it was Jesus). 

I reach the top and lie down on the pew (getting comfortable, I guess) and start opening a book and thought... I need to go to confession.  I'm looking down and see the priest about ready to begin Mass.  I thought... Oh no!  He already started!  I felt panicky then I heard... "You're okay", like it's fine.

End of dream

*I slept in until 9:00 that day.  As soon as I went out into the kitchen my phone beeped it was the "Devotional for the Day" that beeps everyday at 9:00 a.m.  It read...

Exodus 14:14

"The Lord will fight for you and you shall be still."

The title for the devotional was... 

"Nowhere to go... But up."

The Inheritance

Last night as I laid in bed, I began thanking Father God for everything!  I continually thanked Him for all that He has done and continues to do for us.  Then I thought... "And, I'm just a nobody!"

As soon as that thought entered my mind I knew I was in trouble.  Then immediately I heard... "No!  No!  You are My everything!  You are everything to Me!"

This morning this below video was on my Youtube list on my phone.  

He's letting us know...

We are so loved by Him!

We are His everything!

TheInheritance-GrahamCooke

We are not nobodies to Him!

Blessed!

Our daughter was wed on Saturday to a wonderful young man.  We could not be more pleased.  

During the wedding ceremony a rose is brought to Blessed Mother Mary for a blessing.  As this couple knelt in front of Blessed Mother my eyes began filling with tears.  As I wiped away the tears I prayed... 

"Oh Blessed Mother, please bless this marriage.  Place your blessings upon them."  Then I prayed the "Hail Holy Queen".  

Then I sensed softly in my spirit... "I will." 

A few days after the wedding, we received just a few of the photos from the photographer that she had available for a preview.  This photo was the first one sent. Immediately I saw the blue orb with the stream of light reaching out to them!  I shook!  I cried!  I believe! 

Blessed Mother Blesses this union indeed!

Thank You Blessed Mother!

We Believe!

"For all mankind is grass and the glory of men is like the flower of the field.  The grass withers, the flower wilts, but the word of the Lord endures forever.  Now this "word" is the gospel which was preached to you."

The Wedding

Saturday our daughter gets married.  We are excited and so happy that it is finally That Day!  Jackie agrees!

It's a wedding, a marriage, a covenant, a happy day indeed!

And, while we are speaking of weddings, here's another one to be happy and exuberant about...

youtube/castingcrowns

"A voice coming from the throne cried out:  Praise our God, all you His servants, the small and the great, who revere Him!"

Then I heard what sounded like the shouts of a great crowd, or the roaring of the deep, or mighty peals of thunder, as they cried:

"Alleluia!  The Lord is King, Our God, the Almighty!  Let us rejoice and be glad, and give Him Glory!  For this is the Wedding Day of The Lamb, His Bride has prepared herself for the Wedding.  She has been given a dress to wear made of finest linen, brilliant white."

The angel then said to me: 

Write this down:

"Happy are they who have been invited to the Wedding Feast of The Lamb."

The angel continued,

"These words are true; they come from God."

Revelation 19:5-9

HAPPY!  HAPPY!  HAPPY!

Happy!!

Today 9:07 a.m. a text to Jackie's teacher...

"I'll be bringing Jackie to school at 11:00 she was up last night a lot in the night giggling for some reason.  So she didn't get a lot of sleep and I'm having a heck of a time getting her out of bed.  So I'm going to let her sleep in a little longer and I'll have her there by 11:00.

A short time later I send her teachers another text...

"OK it looks now like we're going to make it on time.  I continued to let her sleep, but after about 20 minutes she jumps out of bed exuberantly happy and excited and she probably has said the word "Happy!" to me about 30 times while she giggles.  There is really something different going on with Jackie right now!!"

Those were the text messages sent this morning to Jackie's teachers.  I continued to get her ready for school and she was the happiest I have ever seen this child!  When we got to school, she ran down the hall so fast and upon entering the classroom almost knocked over the teacher.  She continued her giggling and kept saying... "Happy!  Happy!"  over and over again.  Everyone is truly amazed and happy!

I told the teachers don't be surprised if in an hour she passes out on her desk, because this kind of happiness is exhausting!  We all laughed! 

Jackie's sister gets married this Saturday.  Before I left I said to Jackie, "Are you excited about the wedding?"  She exclaimed "Happy!"  Upon saying the word "Wedding" I had chills up and down my body.

I'm posting about this today because I know there is a lot more to all this than actually meets the eye.  Something is going on.  The wedding this weekend is exciting, but truly Jackie doesn't cognitively understand much about a wedding.  But I sense there's a whole lot more going on here. 

Before going to bed last night I noticed Jackie watching a music video by Simply Three.  I stopped the video and said we need to go to bed now Jackie.  That music video came to my mind after I got back from dropping her off at school this morning.  I went to her I-Pad and found it.  It was called "Happy".  Thing is Jackie cannot read and no one here told her the name.  I had no idea until this morning what it is called.  Here is that video...

Something is going on.  Something is different.  Jackie this morning was "over-the-top" Happy!  I don't think it's just a song that is making her happy.  She watches peppy and happy songs a lot.  I sense it is a whole lot more!  I couldn't be happier. 

And neither can Jackie!

HAPPY!  HAPPY!  HAPPY!

Have a Happy Day!

Everything

On Those Days...

We ask for You, Lord

In a world that is crumbling

We ask for You, Lord

In a world that is stumbling

We think that we know and then...

We don't

We think that we see and then...

The vision flees

What are we to do Lord?

On those days?

When all we see are waves upon waves?

We know You are here

without a doubt

But sometimes we need a "Shout!"

A shout from on High

To just let us know

That what we are seeking

We will never actually know...

Because what we seek and what You will actually do

Is so amazing, magnificent and true

That for evermore we will know

That You have out done...

Anything that our minds

Could have possibly known.

Our lil' ole minds...

Are actually blown.

Lord, it's just lil' ole me speaking...

We Trust In You

Even On Those Days when...

 We're a lil' blue.
