prayers

Thursday afternoon around 4 P.M. after I have taken a bath, I was surprised to receive a call from the recruitment agency. The recruitment officer had this bubbly and somewhat laughing voice. She... A certified Ortigas blogger...Writing is life!

I feel real blessed that after the long wait for my medical result, I was finally cleared of Tuberculosis last Wednesday. My schedule to see the doctor was 4:15 P.M, but I arrived in the clinic... A certified Ortigas blogger...Writing is life!

I just found out this morning that a friend of mine has skin cancer, the same kind her Grandfather died from. She is very upset and could use all the prayers we can send. She will visit U of M next week to find out if the cancer has spread. She has 2 small daughters so please keep her and her family in your prayers. One thing I will be doing besides praying for her is canceling my tanning

The A.C.L.U.-affectionately known as the American Communist Lawyers Union by some-has now set its sites on the U.S. Naval Academy as a target for a potential lawsuit. In the eyes of the A.C.L.U., the preferences of nine midshipmen-who contacted them over their objections to lunchtime prayer-apparently override the rights and convictions of all other attendees.In a letter dated May 02,2008 and wri

I received this e-mail Sunday evening from my very dear friend Roberta. I think some of my regular readers will recognize her name from previous mentions here, and some of you might now be regular readers of her blog. Hello friends, My sister and I are reaching out to people with blogs or websites (great or [...]

My contribution to this edition of Blog Your Blessings Sunday is the blessings of prayers. I've read that prayers said by others on your behalf are much more powerful than the prayers you pray for yourself. And one of the reasons this may be true is because there isn't any subconscious self-sabotage happening when you pray for others. I've been blessed BOTH ways: having the opportunity to pray

qwe3, what an incredible blessing that testimony is of God's power and favor in prayer. As we humble ourselves and say that we are not enough, Jesus comes close to us and grants us help in our lives. Thank you so much for sharing this!

When I was in the 5th grade I went to a private Christian school. Every wednesday we had prayer time, where we would go around the room saying a prayer. I was young back then and just from the top of my head I prayed that my grandpa would be healed from cancer. A few years later I remember all this, and realize my grandpa doesnt have cancer anymore! In between those years I had never thought abou

It seems this stuff always comes in waves. As much as I hate using Rachel Lucas’s situation as reference point, I must. I just received some bad news tonight, my cousin, Pam, collapsed at work. She’s at the local hospital here in town, having emergency surgery of some sort. The cause of the collapse and the type surgery are unknown at this time. But please, keep my Cousin Pam and her hu

The Movement Against Terrorism (MAT), a new front of moderate clerics, will exhort imams at mosques across north India to use the Friday prayer to speak out against the murderous Islamic groups.

One cute, funny little thing from tonight. After we were told we no longer had tornado warnings (yeah, they just turned the sirens on about 30 minutes afterwards) I took the cranky girls up to bed. Elaina got into bed, snuggled down, and stared at me with those big eyes."Momma, I wake up happy tomowoah.""Okay! Mommy really wants you to wake up happy," I told her with a smile, to show her I was pleased with that statement.Then Elaina closed her eyes and said this, "Jesus, I wake up happy tomowoah. Make Abby wake up happy tomowoah. Amen."P.S. Jewels, in order to get Elaina to settle down some nights she is fighting going to bed, I just say, "Now don't you want to go to bed like a big girl, like Hannah?" And other nights when she is more than willing to hop into bed she tells me, "I go to bed

Just in case you were wondering about the prospects of Whitney Houston returning to vocal stardom...here is an "unfortunate" update.Whitney is d-u-n...DUN!Whitney couldn't out-sing Britney Spears in a karaoke contest so it seems. If you check out the video below from her recent "performance" in Tobago, Houston struggles mightily to perform ballads, with zero upper register. Not only that, the keys in which she now sings her classic songs are also well below that which they were originally written.Granted, all vocalists lose range and some tonality with age; but lack of pitch and ability to sustain notes on any level or irrefutable signs of vocal atrophy, abuse and permanent damage to the cords. The woman is only 44.In other words, with the exception of studio vocal "tricks" the true sin

I was at home a few nights ago praying for success with my BFA review when I decided to toss in a little add for JC-and-ME during my prayer session. Apparently the BFA outcome is still up in the air, bu JC himself commented back on the advertisement I stuck in my last prayer session.From the cluck?

By Chuck Lunney I’m sure that many readers have heard that Thursday is the National Day of Prayer. It’s supposed to be a day when believers of all faiths gather to kneel down and pray for healing, hope and peace (at least, I certainly hope that’s what most people would pray for).I do appreciate the sentiment, and I know prayer makes those doing the praying feel better, but unfortunately prayer is one of the most objectively ineffective and useless forms of assistance. Other than making those doing the praying “feel better,” numerous studies have shown time and again that prayer fails to benefit those who are prayed for, and at best it is no better than a placebo. As an atheist, that just seems like a tremendous waste of time and personal effort, which I’d prefer to see spent in

If you've ever seen a Catholic Mass, you've no doubt seen a scene where an altar server brings a binder or book to the priest to read from his chair ... and you've seen the priest read from the altar, as well, during communion. The same can be said of a Mass celebrated by the pope. Ever wonder what the inside of that binder or book looks like?Well, you can download all of the prayers and the order of Mass the pope will use while he's in America by clicking here. You'll need Adobe Reader to view the files. Of note is the prayer the pope will offer while at Ground Zero.He prays for all whose lives were lost in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pa. Interestingly, he also calls to conversion those who promote hatred and terrorism. It is this prayer that is perhaps most intriguing of the en

It is always an advantage to teach very young children to pray. I started to teach Ethan to say his prayers at an age when he can't even speak yet. I just tell him that it's time to pray to Jesus. No explanation. I was the one praying while he had his hands folded. We both say Amen at the end of the prayer.Praying should be a habit. We should start our children on the praying habit at the earliest possible time. Here are some evening or bedtime prayers you can teach your child.Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me: Bless Thy little child to-night; Through the darkness be Thou near me, Keep me safe till morning light. All this day Thy hand has led me, And I thank Thee for Thy care; Thou hast w

It’s a game of inches. Speed kills.These sports clichés came to life Thursday night at Shea Stadium as Angel Pagan drove in Jose Reyes in the bottom of the 12th to give the New York Mets a 4-3 victory over their division rival, the Philadelphia Phillies.Pagan hit a single up the middle off of Philadelphia reliever Tom Gordon. With the outfield playing shallow against the speedy Reyes, who had doubled the previous at bat, center fielder Jayson Werth threw a strike to catcher Chris Coste. Coste blocked the plate and Reyes tripped over his foot, tagging home plate with his left hand just before Coste could apply the tag to Reyes’s back.Predictably, Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel argued the call with home plate umpire Ted Barrett, but his efforts were to no avail.Pagan’s game-winne

These prayers, especially as they are structured in the extraordinary form of the Roman rite -- the Mass of Bl. John XXIII -- have received considerable attention recently, particularly the prayer for the Jews. The older form of the Mass affords Catholics on Good Friday the opportunity to pray both for the "conversion of the Jews" and the "conversion of non-Christians." The ordinary form of the Roman rite, the Mass of Paul VI, is even more "itemized": a "prayer for the Jewish people," a "prayer for those who do not believe in Christ," and a "prayer for those who do not believe in God." That takes care of pretty much everybody, doesn't it?In the new Mass -- the Mass that most of us will hear on Good Friday -- the prayer for those who do not believe in God at all is particularly interesting

As every day passes it is becoming more and more obvious that I am completely unprepared for the teenage trials and tribulations that lay before us.

The Act of Contrition: O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee; And I detest all sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell; But most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy Grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen. Prayer (in Private) After Confession: Mary, Mother of mercy and refuge of sinners, Pray for me; Help me thank Thy Divine Son for His goodness in pardoning me; And assist me, that I may not offend Him again - But love and serve Him with all my heart.

St. William, you were a father to your monks and a shepherd to your people.Pray now before God's heavenly altar that we might form a truly Eucharistic community, alert to the Presence of Christ in our hearts and in our church, eager to share our Catholic faith with people everywhere, and especially intent on welcoming our disadvantaged brothers and sisters.Amen.

AUSTIN — A federal judge has prohibited the Round Rock school district from allowing students to vote on whether to have prayers at graduation.The ruling by U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks is included in an agreement reached Thursday by the school district and Americans United for Separation of Church and State. The Washington-based group sued the school district in August on behalf of six parents and a former student.The suit was prompted when a majority of seniors at McNeil, Round Rock and Stony Point high schools decided to have prayers at their graduations. Most students who cast ballots at Westwood High School voted against an invocation at their commencement.In its petition, Americans United said prayers at a school-sponsored event violated "the boundary between church and state tha

Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents. At bedtime, the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers when the youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs, "I PRAY FOR A NEW BICYCLE. I PRAY FOR A SONY PLAY STATION. I PRAY FOR A NEW VCR..."His older brother leaned over and nudged the younger brother and said, "Why are you shouting your prayers? God isn't deaf." To which the little brother replied, "No, but Gramma is!"

The leader may say:It was St. Francis of Assisi who first popularized the Christmas manger. Wanting to see how Christ was born with his own eyes, he had a stable and some images made before Christmas and then invited his neighbors and frieds to come and join him at his "Bethlehem."As we look on our manger, may the Christmas story unfold before our eyes, too.Listen to the Holy Gospel according to Luke:In those days a decree was issued by the emperor Augustus for a census to be taken throughout the Roman world. This was the first Registration of its kind; it took place when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Everyone made his way to his own town to be registered. Joseph went up to Judaea from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, to register in the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was of the house of David by descent; and with him went Mary, his betrothed, who was expecting her child.The figures are then placed in the manger, and after a short period of quiet, the reading continues.Ma

Because of a "storm" that came to Maui, our office was shut down, the kids were sent home, our electricity was out (no power in the whole town I live in). Talk about keeping my priorities straight: I spent a lot of time with the kids - I can't work or blog and kids can't watch DVD or play in with the computer :). I got all the laundry folded; de-cluttered a lot. Who would have thought I a storm would enable me to accomplish some things I wanted to accomplish and didn't know when I could? - LOL!We still don't have electricity in the town we live in. Our office is still shut down but I sneaked in here because there's power in this part of town. Took the kids to McDonalds and stopped by here in the office to charge my cell phone. Because our regular phone needed electric power, we couldn't use it. I think I'd have to buy the old kind of plug-in phone for such

I love it! Today on the news, a group of religious people in Hollywood gathered to say prayers for Lindsay Lohan, Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton and the rest of the Hollywood self-destructive set. The group said that if our culture is to change, Hollywood, which sets the tone for the culture in the media, needs to change first.I could not agree with anything more.I used to work in entertainment industry jobs. I thought they'd be fun and creative and enjoyable. I thought I'd have a life that would be full of joy. What an idiot I was! The entertainment industry is a nightmare. At Orion Pictures, when hired, I was told a lovely story about how a woman who started to work at Orion as an Administrative Assistant was so talented she was later promoted to Vice President.Then I heard, once I

     Nancy, we have known one another for over a decade. We worked together a lot when I was doing psychology commentary for you show on Court TV. I thought you were so great and knew that it was only a matter of time when you would soar to the top and become a super star. In fact I repeatedly told you this and reassured you that it would happen for you- big time.      How did I know this? You had it all- charisma, Southern charm, openess, beauty, brains, and you  weren’t afraid to speak your mind. You also cared about people- really cared, and it came through. You were warm  and inviting towards everyone with whom you worked. You were so fun to be around and had the best sense of humor. You were a joy to be around.  You also did not suffer fools well. You went after the truth and would stop at nothing to get to it. I so admired that about you and respected that.          So when you finally made it and ended up on CNN with your own show, I was thrilled. I cou

Ok, I'm not a religious person (at least not vocally).  I'm VERY spiritual however, and believe there's someone up there that looks out for us.  Anyway, a few of us are working on rescuing a dog in a country that's not known for dog-friendliness.  I mean, we seriously need prayers here...I wouldn't ask otherwise.  So if you and the man upstairs are close-as-this, can you put in a good word for us?  We'll be doing the same!! Thanks in advance Reb aka One Prayin' Fool

Yes it really happened- Kash has been in a serious motorcycle accident. Saturday night he was driving on his bike to his friends house and a drunk driver hit him! He flew off his bike, over the car- and landed on the other side of the freeway- he then somehow was able to pick himself up off the highway to prevent getting hit by oncoming traffic- six cars had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting him. We got the call Saturday evening- to get to the Hospital and that it was serious. At this point we didn't know...

It looks like my 4-step defense of prayers to the saints has sparked a debate between James and I. Here is my response to his most recent comment. Also see Part 1 (the post that started it all) and Part 2.Pax Christi,phatcatholic- - - - - - - - - -Thank you for your explanations to my question about praying to the saints. I found your answers very profound - but not convincing!How about the part where I explain how the saints can hear our prayers w/o being omniscient/omnipresent, and even if they were, this wouldn't make them Gods? You seem to have moved on to the angels-saints distinction, and to some nice little anecdotes that don't prove anything ;)You are rather liberal in equating saints with angels. Yes, angels are at our disposal and aid, but saints - that is, people once living on earth and now in heaven -do not move between heaven and earth like angels, except in exceptionsl cases such as at the transfiguration. (Remember the story of the rich man and Lazarus)Well, even thou
