From the Still, Small, Inner Voice
Son, be very much aware of whatever is taking place in the financial sector.
Monitor developments closely and its effects. Times will get worse along this area.
Search for ways to maximize use of resources at your command so that life will not turn out quite hard in the coming days before the departure. Each and everyone has to prepare according to their means. If you lack anything, pray for it and I will listen.
Open your heart to extend assistance to those who come to you for help. Do not worry that what you have will be exhausted. There will always be replenishments coming from me. What you need is faith ..that I will provide.
Persevere in the coming hard times. This period is your final purification before I grant you and the faithful remnant the eventual escape from the coming difficulties.

Scripture References:
Good News Bible:
Revelation 6:6 I heard what sounded like a voice coming from among the four living creatures, which said, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages.
The Departure At that time there shall arise Michael, the great prince, guardian of your people; It shall be a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time. At that time your people shall escape, everyone who is found written in the book." (Cf. Dan 12:1)

Jesus Tells Us To Remain Strong In Our Faith
Today we attended the 8:00 AM Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows. After making small offerings to Jesus and Mary, I prayed for all with special needs and intentions.
Offering up an Act of Contrition prior to receiving Holy Communion 9my husband and I made the Sacrament of Penance on Saturday), I received the most sacred Body and Blood of Christ!
On my knees with both hands covering my face, I prayed that Jesus would cover me with His most precious blood and I asked Him to wipe out all noise and distraction, other than what might come directly from Him.
Then I prayed, If it be Your will, speak Lord for Your servant listens. Jesus responded to my prayer and my heart saying, My child Eileen, after you have fallen, quickly you are on your feet again as is required by all My children.
Those of strong faith are not deterred by obstacles or disappointments, but place their trust in Me. I love you as I love all My children. Remain strong in your faith and continue to help and to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.
Note: As we and our country experience difficult times, this is just another opportunity to remain charitable to others and to extend our help or services whenever we are able to. Show mercy and Christ has shown mercy to us! This is what I felt Jesus was telling us today in His message. Remain strong in our faith, including love and charity as there are always those who are having a more difficult time of it and need our love, charity and prayers!
Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez Nov.5,2008
November 5, 2008 St. Bruno Church, San Bruno, CA
Dear little children,
The Lion of the Tribe of Judah is awake and alert listening to the cry of his people. Await, for the Lord awaits with patience the moment to bring about His plan for the good and the glory of the Father.
Many of my children live in the world as though they were blind. This blindness is the lack of light which light comes from the Holy Spirit. These children of mine are deprived of both this light and God. They live in darkness and they cannot see the light. He who lives in the lie, lives in darkness; the light of the truth is not in them.
Dear little children, The Truth, the Way and the Life is Christ Jesus. Those who live in the truth belong to God. Those who attack the truth do not live in the light because Christ is not in them.
They do not know the truth; they do not live in the light, but rather in darkness. Those who attack the truth are against Christ and if they are against Christ, they are antichrists. Pray, pray, pray so that the darkness of the lie may not reach you also. You must do penance, make sacrifices, fast and pray much as I ask you to รข€“ with the heart.
Little children, do not fear, do not despair, do not become discouraged. Remember that the Lion of Judah is awake and alert. The Blood of the Lamb covers you and protects you. I, your mother, fill you with strength and with peace.
Why do you fear? Is Jesus not the Light of the World, the Way and the Truth? If you live in the Truth, the same Truth will set you free. The defender of justice defends those who love justice. Pray, pray, pray for if you do not and if you do not take my messages seriously, you will see heresy, apostasy and sin double. If you obey me, I will be able to help you and that which is impossible before your eyes, will become possible before your eyes.
I love you and I bless you. I cover you under my motherly mantle and of protection. Pray, pray, pray. I bless in a special way my beloved priests and deacon who helped me. May the peace of God be always with you.
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Vision to littlest of servants November 14, 2008
While in Church this morning praying before the BLESSED SACRAMENT I received the following vision.
I saw a snow storm and I was reminded of the same vision I had about fifteen years ago. In that vision I saw a snow storm and then JESUS spoke to me and told me that each snowflake in the snow storm represented a soul going into HELL that day.
This time Our Lady spoke to me and told me that what Her SON told me about fifteen years ago was still true today. She asked for prayers and sacrifices to save souls. She especially wants us to pray the ROSARY and DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET She then asked for the complete ROSARY DAILY, that is four ROSARIES, and also three DIVINE MERCY CHAPLETS a day.
Message to J.N.S.R. July 13,2008
The Word of JESUS Christ
Sunday, July 13, 2008
JNSR: Lord, do You want speak to me? I love You and I want to love You even more.
JESUS: The Lord loves to speak to you and often, in order to correct your sudden leaps, and lead you in My Only Truth.
Be at peace, I am with you, available to educate and counsel you. The channels of My undying Love are open day and night, for I must prepare you to receive My Holy Spirit. The years ahead shall all be spent for your education and My ultimate choice. Souls shall be chosen to live in the expectation of My Holy Return here, on this Earth, accompanied by My Celestial Court.
Write. It is God's choice to come and save His People. God is the ultimate Miracle. Such is My Love, and for this, God alone decides. You were chosen to see this, in your hands and all around you. The merit, always coming back to God, is so very well lived in your little soul, that the Lord doubly enjoys it.
I will be surrounded by My souls in the Joy of being close to Me, even without seeing Me, but will feel in themselves, the immense happiness of My Holy Presence, to the point of holding back within themselves their sobs of joy.
So I say to you: Yes, you will see again and you will witness again this great happiness. God loves your involvement. The unknown will no longer be hidden from your eyes, which are already purified with all that they could see, your mouth with all that it could say, and your ears with all that they have heard. That Miracle is and will be the cause of My choice, for those walking with Me will be in the image of their Master and King.
Yes, I say to you: you shall be with Me. Living in Me does not mean your death. But those, living in those years will be changed, in an instant, but you already know that. I offer everything to you so as to inform those that I give you to educate, still today.
The Lord goes on counseling you and open many doors for you, so that those who will hear you are reassured to go further. Without noticing, you will go where I want you to go. NOTHING can be achieved without God when you are called to work for your God.
I must tell you again: rejoice always in your suffering, it is Mine. It, alone, opens the doors that are the most securely locked and before you there are a great number. I also tell you that all is gained in My complete Obedience. I will provide all that you need for a future journey in order to evangelize. Trust in your Divine Master.
The elect who are called to follow Me, those in Heaven and those on Earth, will soon be gathered. The ones who are on the march will arrive by sea, by land and by air, to the place of the final gathering. They are many. The souls who will be first to take the Road are obedient souls to My Holy Law and to My Holy Commandments. They bear the sign of My unalterable Love which contains in itself the whole Treasure of their works of Love.
You cannot yet know the gigantic work carried out by each one up to now, in order to bring closer the hour of My Adorable Return. Just like those of the Alpha in order to obtain the Promised Land, you will have gone through the forty years of the Desert, for Disobedience brings with itself a similar penalty to the first ones as to those of the End, the Omega, the last ones.
The blindness of some is always compensated by the suffering of others. You will be saved through each other. It suffices to remember the Sufferings of Love of your Saviour God on His Holy Cross of Love, to understand that I could only save you at that price.
The suffering of each one, offered to the Father of all Eternal Bliss, with the Love in the incomparable Suffering of Love of His Divine Son JESUS Christ, only that Majestic Suffering of Love could atone to His Divine Majesty who is God, in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the price of an Earth completely Renewed, New, such as a birth, the one that your Lord JESUS Christ, in the Love of the Father and the creating Force of the Holy Spirit (reborn of the Water and the Spirit) will do for each child of the Father and of the Most Holy Virgin MARY (children given at the foot of the Holy Cross by His Divine Son, and Himself God: this is your Mother), children totally transfigured into the Image of the Son of God, ready to dwell on the Earth, blessed by the Father, with the Most Holy Trinity, and MARY, Mother of God.
The Saints and the Angels are singing in chorus: Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest Heavens. Amen. †
JESUS Christ.

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 17 - GIVE ME ALL YOUR HARDSHIPS
St. Teresa of Avila, Carmelite & Church Doctor (1515-1582), Spain—Oct. 15
She wrote, "I am quite sure that if we could but once approach the Most Holy Sacrament with great faith and love, it would suffice to make us rich. How much more so if we approach it often!"
Mother Teresa -
The Scriptures tell us, "I have called you by name. You belong to me. You are precious to me. I love you."
God Himself declares that we are precious to Him. He loves us, and He wants us to respond to His love.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
There is nothing more nauseating than a woman, especially if she is married, who is fickle, frivolous and haughty.
The Christian wife must be a woman of sound piety towards God, an angel of peace in the family, dignified and pleasant towards others.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The canvas of memories is filled by the brushstroke of our actions
"With some measure of pessimism, Shakespeare makes one of his characters say: `The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones" (Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene ii, Line 79). More hopeful was the poet who wrote: `Full lasting is the song, though he the singer passes' (George Meredith, The Thrush in February, 7).
Both, however, are in agreement on the importance of influence, either for evil or for good. Some can look back and fix the day when a good influence began and say with Dante: `In that part of the book of my memory, before which is little that can be read, there is a rubric, saying `The new life begins." " (La Vita Nuova, tr. by Dante Gabriel Rossetti). In the gallery of memory, some portrait is hanging to which one can acknowledge a debt of formation, or a fresh vision of life."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
O my Jesus, nothing is better for the soul than humiliations. In contempt is the secret of happiness, when the soul recognizes that, of itself, it is only wretchedness and nothingness, and that whatever it possesses of good is a gift of God. When the soul sees that everything is given it freely and that the only thing it has of itself is its own misery, this is what sustains it in a continual act of humble prostration before the majesty of God.
And God, seeing the soul in such a disposition, pursues it with His graces. As the soul continues to immerse itself more deeply into the abyss of its nothingness and need, God uses His omnipotence to exalt it. If there is a truly happy soul upon earth, it can only be a truly humble soul. At first, one's self-love suffers greatly on this account, but after a soul has struggled courageously, God grants it much light by which it sees how wretched and full of deception everything is. God alone is in its heart. A humble soul does not trust itself, but places all its confidence in God. God defends the humble soul and lets Himself into its secrets, and the soul abides in unsurpassable happiness which no one can comprehend. (593)
My Jesus, You see how weak I am of myself. Therefore, You Yourself direct my affairs. And know, Jesus, that without You I will not budge for any cause, but with You I will take on the most difficult things. (602)
Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html -
Quote of the Day We cultivate a very small field for Christ, but we love it, knowing that God does not require great achievements but a heart that holds back nothing for self. -St. Rose Philippine Duchesne
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
Nov 17 - GIVE ME ALL YOUR HARDSHIPS
The following was given to Ivan's prayer group in 1990:
Dear children, your Mother invites you to joy. Your Mother asks you to begin to live tonight's message. Again tonight, your Mother asks you to give me all your problems and all your hardships. Thank you, dear children, for continuing to live in prayer all that I have said to you (Visionary Prayer Group June 26,1990).
And from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians:
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, than I am strong (2 Cor 12:9-12).
Reflection:
Abraham Lincoln once said, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go." Most of us know the truth of Lincoln's words. There is hope in the fact that when we do sink to our knees, we then have something to support us. When we finally exhaust our own power, we can depend on the power of God.
We know that one of the best things that could happen to us, in experiencing a low point in life, is to reach out like St. Paul, who found God most powerfully when he was the weakest.
Application:
A prayer for today: Most loving Lord, thank you for being there at the lowest points of my life. Continue to take my hand and pull me up. Ame

Message to Stella Maris Nov.14, 2008
(after testing the spirits)
November 14, 2008:
Jesus said: "The presence of the enemy is being felt.
My dear child, warn My people of the impending danger that awaits them. Tell them of the diseases and catastrophes. Tell them of My Mercy. Tell them that I love them above all things, and to be ready to be taken to higher levels.
I, your Jesus of Mercy, have called you by name to be a minister to My people to warn them of the impending danger.
Be not afraid. I am with you.
Warn My people --- the end is coming soon."

Yes, I say to you: you shall be with Me. Living in Me does not mean your death. But those, living in those years will be changed, in an instant, but you already know that. I offer everything to you so as to inform those that I give you to educate, still today.
The Lord goes on counseling you and open many doors for you, so that those who will hear you are reassured to go further. Without noticing, you will go where I want you to go. NOTHING can be achieved without God when you are called to work for your God.
I must tell you again: rejoice always in your suffering, it is Mine. It, alone, opens the doors that are the most securely locked and before you there are a great number. I also tell you that all is gained in My complete Obedience. I will provide all that you need for a future journey in order to evangelize. Trust in your Divine Master.
The elect who are called to follow Me, those in Heaven and those on Earth, will soon be gathered. The ones who are on the march will arrive by sea, by land and by air, to the place of the final gathering. They are many. The souls who will be first to take the Road are obedient souls to My Holy Law and to My Holy Commandments.
They bear the sign of My unalterable Love which contains in itself the whole Treasure of their works of Love.
You cannot yet know the gigantic work carried out by each one up to now, in order to bring closer the hour of My Adorable Return. Just like those of the Alpha in order to obtain the Promised Land, you will have gone through the forty years of the Desert, for Disobedience brings with itself a similar penalty to the first ones as to those of the End, the Omega, the last ones.
The blindness of some is always compensated by the suffering of others. You will be saved through each other. It suffices to remember the Sufferings of Love of your Saviour God on His Holy Cross of Love, to understand that I could only save you at that price.
The suffering of each one, offered to the Father of all Eternal Bliss, with the Love in the incomparable Suffering of Love of His Divine Son JESUS Christ, only that Majestic Suffering of Love could atone to His Divine Majesty who is God, in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the price of an Earth completely Renewed, New, such as a birth, the one that your Lord JESUS Christ, in the Love of the Father and the creating Force of the Holy Spirit (reborn of the Water and the Spirit) will do for each child of the Father and of the Most Holy Virgin MARY (children given at the foot of the Holy Cross by His Divine Son, and Himself God: this is your Mother), children totally transfigured into the Image of the Son of God, ready to dwell on the Earth, blessed by the Father, with the Most Holy Trinity, and MARY, Mother of God.
The Saints and the Angels are singing in chorus: Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest Heavens. Amen. †
JESUS Christ.

THE CHAPLET OF UNITY
The Chaplet is recited on ordinary rosary beads. Groups may divide the recitation between Leader (L) and Responders (R). If you are alone, recite both parts.
Recite on the large bead before each of the five decades:
L - God our Heavenly Father, through Your Son Jesus, our Victim-High Priest, True Prophet, and Sovereign King,
R - Pour forth the power of Your Holy Spirit upon us and open our hearts. In Your great mercy, through the Motherly mediation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Queen, forgive our sinfulness, heal our brokenness, and renew our hearts in the Faith, and Peace, and Love, and Joy of Your Kingdom, that we may be one in You.
Recite on the ten small beads of each of the five decades:
L - In Your great mercy,
R - Forgive our sinfulness, heal our brokenness, and renew our hearts, that we may be one in You.
Conclude in unison with:
Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one God!
O Jesus, King of All Nations, may Your Reign be recognized on earth!
Mary, our Mother and Mediatrix of All Graces, pray and intercede for us, your children!
St. Michael, great prince and guardian of your people, come with the holy angels and saints and protect us!
PROMISES
Jesus spoke these words and promises to His servant's spiritual mother concerning the Chaplet of Unity:
"Pray this Chaplet of Unity under My Sovereign Kingship to the Father in My Name, as Jesus, King of All Nations. Through My Mother's prayerful mediation and intercession to me, I will ask the Father to pour out with abundant newness and to magnify the anointing power of the Holy Spirit upon My Church under the Holy Father, upon nations of all peoples, and upon all individual souls whom I love.
This Chaplet will be a special fountain, whereby souls can come to refresh and renew themselves and to drink from the waters of My Merciful Healing Love which I will pour out on them as they pray."
"Pray My Chaplet of Unity for the suffering souls in Purgatory. They especially need the healing of My merciful graces for they cannot pray for themselves. Many will be progressively healed and I tell you multitudes released!"
"I promise to give this Chaplet of Unity great power over My wounded Sacred Heart when prayed with faith and confidence to heal the brokenness of My people's lives caused by so much sin, selfishness, error, division and disunity.
Pray this Chaplet for repentance and forgiveness to open and reconcile your hearts to Mine, that you may receive My Word, and act upon My Will for you. Confession, Confession, Confession, My children! Confess your sins to Me through My priests that I may cover you with My Mercy. Pray this Chaplet that a renewal of your hearts and minds by the Holy Spirit will lead to a daily conversion in Faith, Peace, Love, and Joy within your souls.
I promise you 'My Peace, My Divine Presence within your souls,' which the worldly-minded cannot and does not understand! My Peace knows no bounds or limits! By imploring Me in this manner, you will turn away from sin and its destructive effects, and toward a continual greater and greater abundance of graces from Me in My Mercy."
"Yes, in this devotion to Me as Jesus, King of All Nations, entreat My Kingly Heart with the prayer of this Chaplet of Unity that I Myself, your sovereign Lord Jesus Christ, have given you! Pray and ask for the spiritual wholeness and healing of your own souls, for the union of your own will with God's Will, for the healing of your families, friends, enemies, relationships, Religious Orders, communities (of all kinds), countries, nations, the world, and unity within My Church under the Holy Father!
I shall grant many spiritual, physical, emotional, and psychological healings for those who pray this prayer if it is beneficial to their salvation according to My Most Holy Will!
Unity and oneness in Spirit was My own prayer for all mankind and My Church as My own last testament before I gave My life as Savior of all mankind! As I am one with My Father and the Holy Spirit, My Will is that all mankind be one in Me, so that one Faith, one Fold, and one Shepherd will be gathered together under My Sovereign Kingship as LORD."
"Yes, My beloved, by praying this Chaplet I have had you labor for, and have taught you, you will replace My great sorrow with Infinite JOY! Your life imitates My Mother who labors in My Grace by the power of the Holy Spirit to form, give birth, mature, help, reconcile and mediate to Me, your God, souls and nations of souls, to obtain the extension of My Reign in the hearts of My people, and thus I shall unite all mankind, even unto the end of time, under My Divine Reign of Kingship. Those special souls who honor Me in this devotion will do the same, and to them I promise to grant My Kingly Blessings!"
"I, Jesus, Son of the Most High God, Who AM Sovereign LORD, promise to hold out to the souls who pray My Chaplet of Unity the Scepter of My Kingship and grant them mercy, pardon, and protection in times of severe weather and plagues.
I extend this promise not only for yourselves, but also for individuals for whom you pray. No, My beloved, sin and the evils committed by mankind are too great. No longer will I spare My judgment to correct the conscience of mankind as a whole. But this devotion and Chaplet prayed with repentance, confidence, and love, will heal, save, and unite souls to My Mercy who otherwise would be lost.
Any harm or danger, spiritual or physical, whether it be to soul, mind, or body, will I protect these souls against, and clothe them over with My own mantle of Kingly Mercy. To this I add the promise of the assistance of My Most Holy Mother's mediation on their behalf. Even if you die, you shall not be lost, for you shall know salvation and union with Me in the Kingdom of My Father where we reign with the Holy Spirit, eternally the Divine Trinity, One God."
"Behold, I will close their wounds and give them health, and reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth" (Jer 33:6).
Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 17 - GIVE ME ALL YOUR HARDSHIPS
St. Teresa of Avila, Carmelite & Church Doctor (1515-1582), Spain—Oct. 15
She wrote, "I am quite sure that if we could but once approach the Most Holy Sacrament with great faith and love, it would suffice to make us rich. How much more so if we approach it often!"
Mother Teresa -
The Scriptures tell us, "I have called you by name. You belong to me. You are precious to me. I love you."
God Himself declares that we are precious to Him. He loves us, and He wants us to respond to His love.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
There is nothing more nauseating than a woman, especially if she is married, who is fickle, frivolous and haughty.
The Christian wife must be a woman of sound piety towards God, an angel of peace in the family, dignified and pleasant towards others.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The canvas of memories is filled by the brushstroke of our actions
"With some measure of pessimism, Shakespeare makes one of his characters say: `The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones" (Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene ii, Line 79).
More hopeful was the poet who wrote: `Full lasting is the song, though he the singer passes' (George Meredith, The Thrush in February, 7). Both, however, are in agreement on the importance of influence, either for evil or for good.
Some can look back and fix the day when a good influence began and say with Dante: `In that part of the book of my memory, before which is little that can be read, there is a rubric, saying `The new life begins." " (La Vita Nuova, tr. by Dante Gabriel Rossetti). In the gallery of memory, some portrait is hanging to which one can acknowledge a debt of formation, or a fresh vision of life."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
O my Jesus, nothing is better for the soul than humiliations. In contempt is the secret of happiness, when the soul recognizes that, of itself, it is only wretchedness and nothingness, and that whatever it possesses of good is a gift of God.
When the soul sees that everything is given it freely and that the only thing it has of itself is its own misery, this is what sustains it in a continual act of humble prostration before the majesty of God. And God, seeing the soul in such a disposition, pursues it with His graces. As the soul continues to immerse itself more deeply into the abyss of its nothingness and need, God uses His omnipotence to exalt it.
If there is a truly happy soul upon earth, it can only be a truly humble soul. At first, one's self-love suffers greatly on this account, but after a soul has struggled courageously, God grants it much light by which it sees how wretched and full of deception everything is. God alone is in its heart.
A humble soul does not trust itself, but places all its confidence in God. God defends the humble soul and lets Himself into its secrets, and the soul abides in unsurpassable happiness which no one can comprehend. (593)
My Jesus, You see how weak I am of myself. Therefore, You Yourself direct my affairs. And know, Jesus, that without You I will not budge for any cause, but with You I will take on the most difficult things. (602)

Quote of the Day We cultivate a very small field for Christ, but we love it, knowing that God does not require great achievements but a heart that holds back nothing for self. -St. Rose Philippine Duchesne
Today's Tidbit When the Bishops of the United States said that it was no longer required that meat not be eaten on Fridays, they did not say that people could no longer continue this practice as a personal sign of penance. The abstinence from meat on certain days is still a popular way of showing interior dedication to God and used as a penance to remind us of Jesus' sacrifice for us.
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
Nov 17 - GIVE ME ALL YOUR HARDSHIPS
The following was given to Ivan's prayer group in 1990:
Dear children, your Mother invites you to joy. Your Mother asks you to begin to live tonight's message. Again tonight, your Mother asks you to give me all your problems and all your hardships. Thank you, dear children, for continuing to live in prayer all that I have said to you (Visionary Prayer Group June 26,1990).
And from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians:
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, than I am strong (2 Cor 12:9-12).
Reflection:
Abraham Lincoln once said, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go." Most of us know the truth of Lincoln's words. There is hope in the fact that when we do sink to our knees, we then have something to support us. When we finally exhaust our own power, we can depend on the power of God.
We know that one of the best things that could happen to us, in experiencing a low point in life, is to reach out like St. Paul, who found God most powerfully when he was the weakest.
Application:
A prayer for today: Most loving Lord, thank you for being there at the lowest points of my life. Continue to take my hand and pull me up. Amen
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful
guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of
God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father
through His Divine Son who died on the cross and
rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the
Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain
from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here
state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!
