So. . . This Is The Road I Am Traveling On: If You Want To Win These, Comment Here

If you commented before that you would like to be in the running for this (plus an handmade car rosary made by meself), you don't have to comment again (I gotcha). If you have not specifically stated you would like a chance to win this and the car rosary, please leave a comment here. I will draw one name and announce the winner on Tuesday morning (May 19th). As soon as I have the winner's name, there will be further instructions (to email me - at the email on the sidebar etc. to make arrangements for mailing). The booklet and tiny rosary were purchased last weekend at the National Divine Mercy shrine in MA. The car rosary will have a clip and you can hang it from your rearview mirror (purple beads). And, yes, you can send folks over here to grasp at a chance - if they say they came from you, I'll add your name to the drawing again.

God bless!

UPdate: the car rosary is gorgeous! I made it while chatting on the phone with my dearest of friends. She's trying to buy a house at the moment and could use our prayers - so let us storm heaven for God's Will here. Thanks! Now I'm off to finally (I procrastinate something bad, remember?) finish up my own doll (pics later) and make a seven sorrows chaplet.

Warrior Prayers

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.

V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

From Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,

manage to visit all that visit me,

and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day,

so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.

Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post,

and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well.

Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.

And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
