Hello my friends! Peaceful day here today, but now we are starting to have some severe weather so I'll cut this short. Let's hope and pray no damage, and no tornadoes. Got a blessed candle going.
Sacred Heart of Jesus today I wish to live in You, in Your grace, in which
I desire of all costs to preserve. Keep me from sin and strengthen my will
by helping me to keep watch over my senses, my imagination, and my heart.
Help me to correct my faults which are the source of sin. I beg you to do this,
O Jesus, through Mary, Your Immaculate Mother.
Quotes of Mother Teresa
"When I was crossing into Gaza, I was asked at the check post whether I was carrying any weapons. I replied: Oh yes, my prayer books."
"God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things."
"Each time people come into contact with us, they must become different and better people because of having met us. We must radiate God's love."
"Love begins at home. Everything depends on how we love each other."
"If God chose me, He chose you. If He loves me, He loves you. If He trusts me, He trusts you. Never use ugly words for each other. Don't try to see what is bad. Find out what is nice in each other."
"Looking at the terrible suffering & fruit of war [the] same thing, I was thinking, can happen through uncharitable words & actions. We do not destroy buildings but we destroy the very heart of love, peace and unity."
"Have that deep respect for each other...what you have I do not have, [what] I can do, you cannot do, but together we do something beautiful for God."
"Please listen to the will of God. God has created us to be loved by His love, and not to be destroyed by our hatred."
"Let love and peace triumph and let your names be remembered for the good you have done, the joy you have spread and the love you have shared."
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten we belong to each other."
"The people re asking for spiritual help, for consolation, they are so afraid, discouraged, in despair, so many commit suicide. That's why we must concentrate on being God's love, God's presence not by words, but by service, concrete love, listening."
"Hope is the great gift from God. Hope is the sign of life."
"If you pray more you will pray better."
"We need to pray to be able to be so one with Christ, one with God that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ."
"You must learn to pray - maybe not big prayers but talk from the heart to God, open your heart to God."
"You are the co-workers of Christ Himself and He wants you to be so totally His wherever you are, whatever work you are doing, there to be that sunshine of God's love.
"Be very careful not to allow partialities to spoil the beautiful work of love God has entrusted to us - giving in to likes and dislikes, treating differently people of different caste or creed. This could easily happen if we do not pray."
"There are only two ways: either we love and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy."
An unemployed man is desperate to support his family of a wife and three kids. He applies for a janitor's
job at a large firm and easily passes an aptitude test.
The human resources manager tells him, "You will be hired at minimum wage of $5.15 an hour. Let me have
your e-mail address so that we can get you in the loop. Our system will automatically e-mail you all the
forms and advise you when to start and where to report on your first day."
Taken back, the man protests that he is poor and has neither a computer nor an e-mail address. To this the
manager replies, "You must understand that to a company like ours that means that you virtually do not
exist. Without an e-mail address you can hardly expect to be employed by a high-tech firm. Good day."
Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and having $10 in his wallet, he walks past a farmers'
market and sees a stand selling 25-lb crates of beautiful red tomatoes. He buys a crate, carries it
to a busy corner and displays the tomatoes. In less than 2 hours he sells all the tomatoes and makes 100%
profit. Repeating the process several times more that day, he ends up with almost $100 and arrives home that
night with several bags of groceries for his family.
During the night he decides to repeat the tomato business the next day. By the end of the week he is
getting up early every day and working into the night. He multiplies his profits quickly. Early in the second
week he acquires a cart to transport several boxes of tomatoes at a time, but before a month is up he sells
the cart to buy a broken-down pickup truck.
At the end of a year he owns three old trucks. His two sons have left their neighborhood gangs to help him
with the tomato business, his wife is buying the tomatoes, and his daughter is taking night courses at
the community college so she can keep books for him.
By the end of the second year he has a dozen very nice used trucks and employs fifteen previously unemployed
people, all selling tomatoes. He continues to work hard.
Time passes and at the end of the fifth year he owns a fleet of nice trucks and a warehouse that his wife
supervises, plus two tomato farms that the boys manage. The tomato company's payroll has put hundreds
of homeless and jobless people to work. His daughter reports that the business grossed a million dollars.
Planning for the future, he decides to buy some life insurance. Consulting with an insurance adviser, he
picks an insurance plan to fit his new circumstances. Then the adviser asks him for his e-mail address in
order to send the final documents electronically.
When the man replies that he doesn't have time to mess with a computer and has no e-mail address, the
insurance man is stunned, "What, you don't have e-mail? No computer? No Internet? Just think where you
would be today if you'd had all of that five years ago!"
" Ha!" snorts the man. "If I'd had e-mail five years ago I would still be sweeping floors at Microsoft and making
$5.15 an hour."
Jesus Calling
June 12
“LET ME HELP YOU get through this day. There are many possible paths to travel between getting up in the morning and your lying down at night. Stay alert to the many choice-points along the way, being continually aware of My Presence. You will get through this day one way or another. One way is to moan and groan, stumbling along with shuffling feet. This will get you to the end of the day eventually, but there is a better way. You can choose to walk with Me along the path of Peace, leaning on Me as much as you need. There will still be difficulties along the way, but you can face them confidently in My strength. Thank Me for each problem you encounter, and watch to see how I transform trials into blessings.”
1 Corinthians 10:10 – And do not grumble, as some of them did —and were killed by the destroying angel.
Luke 1:79 – to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

Hello, Gloria Jean. I will say prayers for "calm seas" and peace of mind through the night.

Ruby Laine and Harlene - storm's over, it wasn't bad at all, short, no hail, just a little thunder and rain. I lit my blessed candle. I always do when there's a storm. Thanks much for caring and prayers.

Happy to hear the storms came through and did left quietly. Nasty weather makes me nervous and Gloriajean, what is a blessing candle? I hope you and everyone have a wonderful Monday. Blessings are right in front of us, we just need to keep our heart open to all of God's gifts.
Enjoy and peace to everyone. Nancy

Wishing everyone a blessed day. The temp here is 59 with rain and thunder. It is so dark out, hope this passes quickly.

Nancy - I always have my candles blessed and use them for protection of storms, learned this from my Mom, I have a priest bless them. I just use one, and let it burn for awhile, and say a prayer. Blessed palms are good to use, too, for protection against storms, but here in the apartment, we can't light a palm, but a candle will work.
RetRN - Hopefully your weather wasn't severe. Hate it when it gets so dark out.
