The Garden...

In the garden of your heart listen for His Still Small Voice.  

It is so hard to find quiet anywhere in this world today.  But I sense that today we need it more than ever before in our lives.  

I have been thinking a lot lately about our garden in our backyard.  I've been thinking about the seeds I will need to plant.  

I sense Jesus is also inspiring me to plant seeds in the garden of my heart.  To plant myself there, be still and listen...

and watch what grows.

May your days have some peace-filled, quiet moments with Him.

God Bless

**Side Note - Shortly after posting this I went to Eucharistic Adoration.  While there I intended to say my daily prayers.  However, I sensed the Lord telling me that he wanted me to say them at home and to just sit still and be in His Presence. 

While sitting there I started thinking of this post about the Garden in our hearts. Then I felt led to open a book in the pew.  Unbeknownst to me upon picking it up it was entitled... "A Woman's Garden of Love".  I then randomly opened it to this...

"When the dream of our heart is one that God planted there, a strange happiness flows into us.  At that moment, all of the spiritual resources of the universe are released to help us.  Our praying is then at one with the will of God and becomes a channel for our Creator's purposes for us and our world." (Catherine Marshall)

Wow!  I love all of God's surprises!

What an awesome God we serve!

I Love You Father!

Jesus...

You are ever so near, nearer than our very breath

Jesus, we know that you love us with all that You have

Jesus, we know that You will never leave our side

Jesus, You are not like man that You should lie

Jesus, these words are a comfort to us

Jesus, thank you for keeping us

Jesus, we dedicate our lives to You

Jesus, our lives without you are absolutely... 

nothing

Jesus, we love you so much

Jesus, our lives we entrust

Jesus, for we know that You are loving, caring, omnipotent and true

Jesus, we truly, truly

Love You

Spiritual Adoption of an Unborn Child

"Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much.  I beg you to spare the life of (baby's name) the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion."

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen encouraged the spiritual adoption of an unborn child.

The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary Devotion

 1.  The prophecy of Simeon. (St. Luke 2:34, 35)
2.  The flight into Egypt.  (St. Matthew 2:13, 14)
3.  The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple. (St. Luke 2: 43-45)
4.  The meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross.
5.  The Crucifixion.
6.  The taking down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross.
7.  The burial of Jesus.

Meditate on each Sorrow and then recite a Hail Mary.

The Blessed Virgin Mary grants seven graces to the souls who honor her daily by saying seven Hail Mary's and meditating on her tears and dolors (sorrows).  The devotion was passed on by St. Bridget.

The Seven Graces

1.  I will grant peace to their families.
2. They will be enlightened about the divine mysteries.
3.  I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work.
4.  I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.
5.  I will defend them in their spirtual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.
6.  I will visibly help them at the moment of their death, they will see the face of their Mother.

7.  I have obtained from my Divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and My Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Genocide...

"I can handle a handicapped child, I just can't handle a dead one."

This is a statement made by my husband when our little girl was born with Down Syndrome and was having heart issues.  I'll never forget it.  That day I had increased respect for my husband.

I remember thinking how in today's society a large majority of people in this world would probably say just the opposite... 

"I can handle a dead child,  I just can't handle a handicapped one."  

There is a high percentage of abortion after a diagnosis of Down Syndrome.  

Society is filled with those who think they have it all figured out.  Many times those in very high places think they dictate who is worthy of living and who is not.  They look down on and scorn the ones with Down Syndrome, the mentally impaired, the old, the physically impaired, the littlest and most defenseless ones, etc... 

These are the very ones that God uses in the most extraordinary ways.

Praise be to God!
