Where God, Family, and Country Are Everything (in proper order)
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.

I love the saying about how if God were to not think of us for one second, just one second, we would not exist.
Jamie - I just read that recently in a book. Who wrote/said that? Did I hear it before, too? Probably. It is very telling. Maybe Augustine touched on that. He said so many things!
Sarah: A.men.
The truth of the matter is, the more 'nothing' we become, the more God is able to accomplish through us.

Yes, Sarah....that sums it ALL up!
This has been a very humbling day for me!***sigh****
Yes, good thing we are not apart from God :) Been there, done that, and missed Him dreadfully! Course, it did make me realize that everything good in me comes from Him.
