Re: fear of germs, even though I would have been nauseated at the thought a few years ago, because of my weakened immune system (caused by Lyme Disease) I was actually able to kiss the cross at our Easter Vigil. I love Jesus more than my fear, I guess. It was hard to do, I admit it, but He gave me the courage. As Him, He'll give it to you too sk

flower lady - You don't know how honored I am that you are going to continue to pray for me that I may be delivered from my fear of germs so I can go to Holy Mass and live a normal life! I will be comforted whenever I think that you are praying for me!!! Thank you my dear friend! Amen!

sheilakathy - Thank you so much for your prayers!!!

Mary Virginia - I can't handle caffeine. It makes my heart race and I feel so agitated inside that I just can't take it! My coffee is decaffeinated!

Wow! A home retreat sounds like that could be useful for many Sheilakathy. I hope everyone had a great Memorial day-mine was spent in usual morning prayer-then out to pull weeds all over the yard but little did I know I had comsumed too much caffiene last few days=last time I did that I thought I would have to go to the hospital=cut out all caffiene & chocolate...arrgh! I had so much stomach acid I was up all night=Praise God for Pepto tabs! Lol! You gotta have a sense of humor to grow older!
Oh well, I'll learn...Lol!

God Bless all our soldiers past and present!

Peace & Love All! M

WOW! A Do It At Home Retreat:
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola

Here is a customer review of it from Amazon:
"A Do It At Home Retreat: The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola (Paperback)
This book is so easy to read, unlike most of Ignatius' writings. Ravier captures the essence of Ignatius' spirituality in lay terms and makes it accessbile without an interpreter. I didn't know until I had the book that it's recommended you work through the retreat with a Spiritual Director. I did not do this, and it was still an excellent experience. I highly recommend doing this during Lent, so that it coincides with Holy Week and Easter. This book is for people who truly want to get closer to Christ and to deepen their spiritual walk, but it is work. It takes about anhour a day to do it mostly right...about 1 1/2 hours to do it truly right! Enjoy!"

What do you think? Would any of you like to do this as a group together (in my GOING ON RETREAT group)? Would anyone like to lead it? (I am not an experienced Catholic yet, and would prefer one of you who is more mature in the faith might stand up and lead it)

God's Holy Will, please never forget that God can cure anything. I am praying that you get over your fear of people. I won't give up, even if you do. I will continue to do novena after novena, until Our Lady of Perpetual Help hears our prayers. I hAVE ALL OF THE TIME IN THE WORLD TO PRAY FOR YOU. NOTHING WILL EVER STOP ME FROM PRAYING FOR YOU. I want you to be able to go to mass and never be afraid of anything for as long as you live.
I will never give up praying for this miracle. I love you and God will cure your fears. I know he will. In the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. We are going to pray until it happens. I have finished the novena for you and I am about to start another one. because I want some day for you to be able to go to mass away from home. Satan will not stop me,. Brenda

Sorry I'm late-Happy Memorial Day, everyone-hope your day went well. Oh-wore my patriotic tee-shirt and everything, and just realized that I have reserves next weekend-rats! Seems like I've just pulled reserve weekend drill So ready to retire!

Lord, please help God's Holy Will's wound to heal, and that rash too. Please comfort her in all this. Amen.

Beth - I never thought of it that way! I'm going to praise the Lord and thank Him for the prayers of my friends!!! You have every reason to be proud of your sons! May God bless them for their service for our beautiful country!

Happy Memorial Day! I will take one second to brag on my two sons who are both Army National Guard. My oldest has been in 13 yrs and my youngest 2 yrs. My youngest was a color guard in a ceremony today, I am really proud of both of them. And for all soldiers in every country who have lost thier lives in service for their country. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Kim, I am really glad your wound is getting better. If you can not get a Qtip in, that is amazing now how much it has healed. Praise the Lord, prayer is being answered.

Sheilakathy, sounds like your party was great! Friends are such a blessing.
