Ite ad Joseph

In honor of my blessed and beloved patron, Saint Joseph, I post this blog. He means so much to me that words cannot express how much I love him. And with this being his feast day, I want to encourage all peoples, of whatever faith you possess, to go to him with whatever it is you are suffering through, and I promise you, he will hear your prayers and present them before the throne of Almighty God. We must have trust in the saints intercession for us. They love us, more than we love ourselves. He has shown his love for me and in honor of him I say "Blessed be Saint Joseph" and "Blessed be God for giving him to us!" I want to write more about this topic but it is very late and so I cannot at this time. I think I feel a poem coming...please check back for future postings.
God bless and good night

Check this out...

Please look at this amazing film. It shows you the power truth can have upon the soul. We just pray this order comes into full communion with Rome one day. Please God. Enjoy...

Can you believe it?!

This goes to show you where we have gone as a society! Just look at how commercial advertising encourages animal abuse in CHILDREN! Have we no shame? Have we lost all respect for these poor, helpless, innocent animals made by God? Who knows what one can hope to see next! I must ask, why has the APSCA done nothing to stop this? How can such people not want to intervene when such outrages on poor animals are committed! What hypocrites! Is there no decency in the world? Are we nearing the end? Has Britney Spears gone mad? Will her hair ever be the same again? AHHH!!!!
(lol) No, I'm not crazy, nor am I a radical animal rights fanatic, rest assured. I actually found this picture today and thought it was adorable. It made me smile and I hope does for you too. And don't mind my silly humor, it's part of my pre-spring fever ;-) Speaking of which, only 6 more days until the vernal equinox.. Yahhh! I can't wait!! Well ciao amicos, sta bene!

Into the Woods

Into the woods we must begin,
To take the time to walk within;
To ponder over leaves and streams,
And think of all those longed for dreams.

Give self a chance to stop and see,
The world around which lives for thee.
The sky above with purest blue
And earth below all lush and new.

Though time is short we're still alive
To take the chance to love and thrive.
So stop and stroll along that way
Where your heart longs to rest and pray.

Into the woods you must now go
To seek that place where you can grow.
Be thou content seek out that place
Into the woods, God waits with grace.

~This is for those of us who need stop and listen to our souls cry to retire from the routines of our lives. I pray it reminds us all to not ignore the urges we feel to go into the woods of our souls and rest a while. God calls us- let's not keep Him waiting.
A blessed Lent to you all.
