As I watched this video, I thought, what Fr Mike was showing us, in keeping a journal is really a strong tool to continue even after Lent is over.  There is something about writing that makes a strong connection from the mind to the heart and thus makes an  imprint in our prayer life… to be able to go back over the days and weeks, seeing God’s hand in our lives can only increase our faith.

I woke up the other morning saying this prayer and it has now become a prayer mantra for me…

“Glory be to God in the highest and peace to His children on earth.”

Blessings n’ Peace,

Jesus, Thank you, for your grand love for us, that by way of the Cross we are redeemed. Thank you that we receive the Holy Spirit, Father, that we are never alone, that the powers of heaven are within us and for us. Father, Thank you, that we are forgiven, for your Mercy and for your Love. Grant us today your peace, that all we touch prospers, that all we meet along this path sees you and we plant seeds of your Love, that your Garden prospers, your Flock expands, that your Children come home. We are in your hands, under your control, Heaven is rooting us on, helping us reach victory, fighting on our behalf, removing burdens, restoring our health, our finances, providing jobs, growing business, protecting our children, restoring marriages, morals and the truths of our Father. Your control, that which is meant to prosper us, for our success, for your Good, returns to us, for we your children, turn to you, expectantly, waiting, as your hand washes away the burdens, the trials, the lies of this world. Jesus, in your name, we pray, and in your name we lift Praises, for we are Thankful and we are Grateful. Jesus, in your name, Amen

Lord hear our prayer…

“God, my Father in heaven, You are all mercy. You love me and see my every sin. God, I call on You now as the merciful Father. Forgive my  every sin. Wash away the stains on my soul so that I may once again rest in complete innocence. I trust You, Father in heaven. I rely on You. I thank you. Amen.”

This prayer came from the messages from Anne, a Lay Apostle; a message came from “VOLUME THREE” Part One: God the Father Speaks to His Children

This one prayer is for all of us who has great concern over our finances.  Last night, as I thought back over the answered prayer in my life… that the most life changing answers came when I concentrated, really immersed myself in the reality of the continual presence of Jesus. I actually have lost track of time when I pray like this.

Remember when Jesus tells us in Matthew 7: 7-12…” to ask, to seek and to knock… it will be opened to us.” This persistence, the perseverance in prayer… seeking the will of God in our problems, our finances is so powerful.

I don’t know about you, but I know for myself that I’d rather have guidance from God, then trusting in my limited understanding. I’m learning it is good to walk hand in hand with Jesus…  He understands and has answers to my difficulties and His explanations make the way clear for what I need to do.

Dear God, I surrender my financial affairs and concerns about money to your Divine care and love. I ask that you remove my worries, anxieties, and fears about money, and replace them with faith. I know and trust that my debts will be paid and money will flow into my life. I have only to look to nature to see proof of the abundance you provide. I release all negative thoughts about money, and know that prosperity is my true state. I commit to being grateful for all that I now have in my life. I learn to manage my finances wisely, seeking help where needed. And finally, I ask you to help me understand my purpose in life and to act on that purpose with courage and strength. I know that prosperity will come, in part, by doing work I love. Please help me use my skills and knowledge to be of service in the world. Thank you, God. Amen

When Mother Theresa needed a quick miracle, she would pray the Memorare nine times in succession.

“Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee 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.”

May the blessings of Our Lord fill your lives…
