Dear Miserissima,

I apologize for not responding sooner to you; I don't check my messages enough! I am well, thank you, and having a lovely, if very warm, summer.

I pray you have a beautiful Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, tomorrow.

Sorry that I've been away for so long. How have you been?

A prayer for FCEGM on the First Friday of the Month of the Sacred Heart: May we touch Your Divine Heart by asking for mercy for ourselves, for the world, and for those who do not know Your love, Amen.

Feast of St. Rita
Holy patroness of those in need, faithful, loving wife and mother as well as humble, prayerful widow and nun, obtain for us from the risen Jesus our request of physical health and spiritual maturity for all of us on CAF. Be gracious toward us for the greater glory of God and we will praise your Divine Spouse with you forever, Amen.

Almighty and eternal God, who has created us in thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thy only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee that through the intercession of Saint Isidore, bishop and doctor, during our jounreys through the Internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Father we ask you this, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Loving Lord, we thank you for mothers and for the grace you have given them in raising their children. Bless the mothers, both physical and spiritual, today. Let the example of their faith and love shine. Grant that we may honor their sacrifice with a spirit of profound respect. In Christ's Holy Name we ask it. Amen.
"As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart." Luke 2:19

28 April, Feast of St. Louis Mary de Montfort

"Pray with great confidence, with confidence based on the goodness and infinite generosity of God and upon the promises of Jesus Christ. God is a spring of living water which flows unceasingly into the hearts of those who pray."

I am praying for you, FCEGM!

23 April, Feast of St. George
St. George, heroic Catholic Soldier and defender of Your faith, you dared to criticize a tyrannical Emperor, and were subjected to horrible torture. You could have occupied a high military position, but you preferred to die for your Lord.
Good St. George, obtain for us the great grace of heroic Christian courage that should mark all soldiers of Christ, Amen.

Christ is Risen! Alleluia!! God bless you and your family in this Holy Season and always.

Happy Easter!

God of Wonder and of unexpected delight -- as we celebrate Christ's risen presence among us today we pray that you would open to us the scripture's message. Talk to us as we journey along life's way, meet us as we fellowship with one another, and so move in us that we may claim all your promises as our own. Open our eyes and quicken our hearts, through Christ our Lord, Amen
