The Rosary
DID YOU KNOW...
This most useful site on the Rosary I have ever seen, The Holy Rosary, not only contains interesting facts, but also instructions on how to pray the Rosary. But remember to come back here!
"I come from Heaven. I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for he is already to grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. If people do as I ask, many souls will be converted and there will be peace."

about Our Lady of Good Remedy
800 years ago Christians were being captured by the Moslems and sold into slavery by the thousands, and nobody knew what to do about it. Then, in the year 1198, a man had an idea. St. John of Matha founded the Trinitarians to go to the slave markets, buy the Christian slaves, and set them free.
To carry out this plan, the Trinitarians needed large amounts of money. So, they placed their fundraising efforts under the patronage of Mary. They were so successful that, over the centuries, the Trinitarians were able to free thousands and thousands of people and to return them safely home.
In gratitude for her miraculous assistance, St. John of Matha honored Mary with the title of "Our Lady of Good Remedy." Devotion to Mary under this ancient title is widely known in Europe and Latin America, and the church celebrates her feast day on October 8. Our Lady of Good Remedy is often depicted as the Virgin Mary handing a bag of money to St, John of Matha.
When in need--for whatever reason, but especially where you have difficulty obtaining help--invoke the aid of Our Lady of Good Remedy, and you will surely experience the power of her intercession.
Ways to Simplify Your Life
by Wendy Cukierski.
--Begin by rethinking the way you live.
--Assess what you need and don't need.
--If you haven't used it in a year..get rid of it!
--Seek like-minded people to help you and support you
--Find alternate ways of doing everything...and I mean everything.
--Follow your "gut" feeling..it's usually the Holy Spirit.
--Eliminate non-essentials. They clutter your mind and house.
--Eliminate time and money wasters. Trinkets..out the door.
--Have a garage sale.
--Follow the 2 towel, washcloth, sheets, pillow cases, blankets etc. rule. Two for everyone..that's it.
--An outfit for each child for each day of the week. That's it. 7 outfits (according to season) per kid.
--Get rid of the tv. I'm working on this one..hubby is clinging to it. Hard to get a 6'2, 230 pound ex football star off the tv.
--Develop discipline. I'm working on this, too - That way you won't get behind w/ chores.
--Say no to activities that take you away from the family. (Unless it's to teach NFP or something good like that!)
--Worry about pleasing GOD first!
--Treat everything as irreplaceable.
--Buy good quality things..they will last longer.
--Spend time in SILENCE to ask God what to do.
--Take the kids on a nature walk, fishing and other things that don't cost money. Teach them how to find enjoyment w/ nature. It will prove to help them when they grow up.
--Learn from your mistakes.
--Establish priorities. Set goals w/ simplifying. Set up a schedule.
--If something is distracting you, get rid of it; Shut off the phone during the day if frequent phone calls are taking you away from your duties; Throw a blanket over the tv or computer if you are tempted too often.
--Have a plan B and C if plan A fails. If your name is Wendy, plan A always fails!
--Change can't happen unless you change your attitude first.--Desire ain't gonna get ya there...ya gotta get your body in motion.

An every day use for Holy Water:
from Madeleine at Cathmoms
May I make a suggestion to Cynthia and all cathmoms whose home become stressful. This advise was given to me by a priest.
A friend of mine who has those moments in her home does the following:
She keeps holy water in her refrigerator at all times. She sprinkles and stirs some holy water in all her cooking daily. At times when the stress is very great, she opens her windows and sprinkles holy water in each of the rooms in the entire home.
The priest suggested for those who live alone or live on the first floor of a home that you put a small piece of holy palm across the windows and doors to your home. You can do the same think for your car to protect it from being broken into. I knew this priest for over 8 years and when it came to advise of a spiritual nature he was always on the mark.
Another piece of advice given to me from Father DeGrandis is that couples, simply because of the love they have for each other, should pray with and over each other and their children for healing and blessings.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
And the Word was made flesh. Hail Mary, etc.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an Angel, may, by His Passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of the Resurrection, throught the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
"Traditionally the whole month of June is dedicated to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus. We want to make up to the Heart of Jesus for our
time's great Eucharistic ingratitude. Especially for lack of signs
of reverence such as genuflections and nonchalant manners of
receiving Holy Communion, receiving Holy Communion in the state
mortal sin, the many reported Eucharistic abuses, empty and locked
churches, lack of Eucharistic thanksgivings after Holy Communion,
loss of faith in the Real Presence, etc. Let us do this by first
ourselves having a great Eucharistic reverence, love and gratitude.
Second by praying the following prayer in reparation every day:"
"O Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the Tabernacles of the world, in reparation for all the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended. Through the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners. Amen."
From the website of The Monks of Adoration.
The Angelus

R/And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail mary, etc.
R/Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary, etc.
R/And dwelt amongst us.
R/That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.Angel of Fatima Prayer
The Animi Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels
Forever and ever
Amen
O St. Anthony Gianelli, who through your work have shown such great love to all, intercede for the bishops of the world and especially my bishop, Paul Loverde. Help our bishops to spread the Gospel to all men so that through them all men may find the way to salvation. I ask you to intercede on my behalf so that through your powerful intercession I may obtain the grace that I so ardently desire (name it). Intercede for me and for all those who are dear to me, peace of mind, perseverance in good works and a holy death. Amen.
From the website of The Monks of Adoration.
Let me hate myself and love You,
Let me humble myself and exalt You,
Let me die to myself and live in You,
Let me forsake myself and walk after You,
Let me flee from myself and turn to You,
Let me fear for myself, let me fear You,
Let me distrust myself and trust in You,
Let me cleave to nothing but You,
Look upon me that I may love You,

Amen
HAIL, and blessed be the hour and moment
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Dear Father in heaven, when we open our eyes in the morning, Your holy will is before us. If we are husbands, our sanctity is how we serve our wife and children. If we are wives, our sanctity is how we serve our husband and children. If we are single, it is how faithful we are to our friends and family. If we are children, it is how we obey our parents, do our schoolwork, and love our brothers and sisters. If we are religious, it is how we live our vows. If we are workers, sanctity is how well we do our job. Help us be saints today! Help us be saints tomorrow! Amen."
O Holy Angel, attendant of my wretched soul and of mine afflicted life, forsake me not, a sinner, neither depart from me for mine inconstancy. Give no place to the evil demon to subdue me with the oppression of this mortal body; but take me by my wretched and outstretched hand, and lead me in the way of salvation.
Yea, O holy Angel of God, the guardian and protector of my hapless soul and body, forgive me all things whatsoever wherewith I have troubled thee, all the days of my life, and if I have
sinned in anything this day. Shelter me in this present night, and keep me from every affront of the enemy, lest I anger God by any sin; and intercede with the Lord in my behalf, that He might strengthen me in the fear of Him, and make me a worthy servant of His goodness. Amen.
O Holy Spirit, Soul of my soul, I adore You. Enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me. Tell me what I ought to do and command me to do it. I promise to be submissive to everything that You permit to happen to me. Show me only what is Your will.

I abandon my friend into Your hands; Do with him/her what You will. Whatever you may do, I thank You: Make us ready for all, to accept all. Let only Your will be done in us and in all Your creatures- I wish no more that this O Lord. Into Your hands I commend his/her soul; I offer it to You with all the love of my heart, For I love You, Lord, and we so need to give ourselves to surrender ourselves, into Your hands without reserve and with boundless confidence, for You are our Father. Amen
O Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, who merited to be called "just" by the Holy
Ghost, I urgently recommend to thee the soul(s) of (Name), which Jesus
redeemed at the price of His Precious Blood. Thou knowest how deplorable is the state and how unhappy the life of those who have banished this loving Saviour from their hearts, and how greatly they are exposed to the danger of losing Him eternally. Permit not, I beseech thee, that a soul so dear to me should continue any longer in its evil ways; beg Jesus to preserve it from the danger that threatens it; to touch the heart of this prodigal child and conduct him back to the bosom of the fondest of fathers. Abandon him not, I implore thee, till thou hast opened to him the gates of the heavenly city. Thank you for your powerful intercession on behalf of this soul, so beloved to me. Amen.
Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind,
Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace.
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn child that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion."
For the intentions for which he pleads and offers Himself in the Holy Sacrifice of the mass In thanksgiving for Thy favors In reparation for
my offenses And in humble supplication for my temporal and eternal welfare. For the wants of our holy Mother the Church For the conversion of sinners And for the relief of the poor souls in purgatory. I wish to gain all the indulgences attached to the prayers I shall say, and to the good works I shall perform this day.
O sacred and adorable Trinity, hear our prayers on behalf of our holy Father the Pope, our Bishops, our clergy, and for all that are in authority over us. Bless, we beseech You, during the coming year, the whole Catholic Church; convert heretics and unbelievers; soften the hearts of sinners so that they may return to Your friendship; give prosperity to our country and peace among the nations of the world; pour down Your blessings upon our friends, relatives, and acquaintances, and upon our enemies, if we have any; assist the poor and the sick; have pity on the souls of those whom this year has taken from us; and do be merciful to those who during the coming year will be summoned before Your judgment seat. May all our actions be preceded by Your inspirations and carried on by Your assistance, so that all our prayers and works, having been begun in You, may likewise be ended through You. Amen.
O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; for your unfaithful
and tepid priests; for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant
mission fields; for your tempted priests; for your lonely and desolate
priests; for your young priests; for your dying priests; for the souls of your
priests in purgatory. But above all I recommend to you the priests dearest to me; the priest who baptized me; the priest who absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy communion; the priests who taught and instructed me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way:(insert own words here...) and all those young
men who do not yet know that You are calling them to the priesthood O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.
O Lady of Good Remedy, source of unfailing help, grant that we amy draw from thy treasury of graces in our time of need.
Dear Lady of Good Remedy, source of unfailing hope, thy compassionate heart knows a remedy for every affliction and misery we encounter in life. Help me with thy prayers and intercession to find a remedy for my problems and needs, especially for...(Here indicate your special intentions).
V. Pray for us, O holy mother of Good Remedy,
Saint Martha, I resort to your protection and aid,Êand in proof of my affection and faith I offer this light which I burn. Comfort me in my difficulties, and through the great favor thou didst enjoy when the Savior was lodged in thy house, intercede for my family that we will be provided for in our necessities. I beseech thee, Saint Martha, for help and grace as thou didst receive when you overcame the dragon thou didst have at thy feet.

"May the prayers of the Blessed Apostle and Evangelist, Matthew, come to our assistance, O Lord; that those things which we cannot ourselves obtain may,
by his intercession, be given unto us. Through our Lord, Amen"
Feast Day: Sept. 21
O Glorious Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, be our
defense in the terrible warfare which we carry on against
principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of
darkness, spirits of evil. Come to the aid of man, whom God created
immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great
price from the tyranny of the devil. Fight this day the battle of the
Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the
leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were
powerless to resist Thee, nor was there place for them any longer in
heaven. That cruel, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil or
Satan, who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his
angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken
courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all
the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot
out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast
into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory.
This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his
malice on men, of his depraved mind, corrupt heart, spirit of lying,
impiety, blasphemy, his pestilent breath of impurity, and of every
vice and iniquity. These most crafty enemies have filled and
inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the Spouse of the
Immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred
possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where has been set up the See
of the most holy Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the
world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with
the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep
may be scattered. Arise then, 0 invincible Prince, bring help against
the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them
the victory. They venerate Thee as their protector and patron; in Thee
Holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of
hell; to Thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in
heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan
under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold
men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight
of the Most High, so that they may quickly conciliate the mercies of
the Lord; and beating down the dragon, the ancient serpent who is the
devil and Satan, do Thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he
may no longer seduce the nations. Amen
V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered hostile powers. Let us pray.
O St. Philomena, I place my children in thy keeping. Illustrious Virgin, who so thoroughly understood the excellence of purity, keep their souls pure and holy in the sight of God. Wise young maiden, who so fully comprehended the infinite value of eternal treasures and the shallowness of temporal riches and power, instruct my children in the value of things spiritual. Assist them in building up rich treasures in the storehouse of Heaven, where their wealth can neither be destroyed, nor taken from them.
Courageous Martyr, who died in torment rather than offend the All-Good God, teach my children a true horror of sin and a love of true virtue. I implore thee, St. Philomena, to obtain for them the courage to suffer persecution and tortures bravely rather than to deny Almighty God.
I ask these favours with complete confidence, St.Philomena, because I know that thou, who gave all to God, can obtain all from Him and I am sure that thou whoudst never refuse to hear the prayer of a mother who implores thy help for the eternal salvation of her child.
Because of the countless favours obtained through the intercession of
St. Philomena, her devotees wished to place themselves under her
protection. The faithful wore the blessed cord in her honour, to be
protected in times of need. The wonderful fruits of this custom spread
St. Philomena's fame. The Cure of Ars (Parish Priest of Ars - St. John
Vianney) who had so many times experienced the power of the Saint , loved
to see the faithful wear the precious cord. Abbot Taccanier, the
successor of the Cure
of Ars, wrote on November the 26th, l875 that Miss Catherine Lassagne,
who had known St. John Vianney for 41 years, had
told him that The Cure of Ars had often blessed St. Philomena cords for
her devotees. This devotion was practiced not only to obtain healing
for the body, but above all, as a way to defend one's soul against all
impurity. With respect to this, you can note that the cinctures of
certain Religious orders and ecclesiastical robes are symbols of
chastity. In the same way St. Philomena, will preserve chaste and pure,
from many dangers, those who honour her purity by wearing her blessed
cord.
The Cord of St. Philomena is made with red and white yarn crocheted
together in chain stitch. At one end there are two knots in honour of
her Virginity and Martyrdom. It is worn underneath clothes like a belt.
The cord is both a symbol and a prayer. It is a symbol because with it
we intend to bind ourselves to St. Philomena with sincere devotion. It
is a prayer because in wearing it we pray to St. Philomena to protect us
in every moment of our lives.
The purposes of this devotion are:
1. To obtain, through the intercession of St. Philomena, the means adequate to conserve purity, in conformity with our own situation:
Every priest has the faculty to bless the Cord of St. Philomena
according to the formula in the Roman Ritual. Many faithful followers of St. Philomena prefer to have the cord blessed in churches where a special devotion to St. Philomena is observed and have it blessed after it has touched a relic of the saint. When the cord is worn out and replaced the new cord should also be blessed.
You can order a cord by e-mailing MaryFrances.
Lord help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that You and I together can't handle.
"Dear Lord, please keep Your Arm around my shoulder and Your Hand over my mouth."
Dear God,

Lord of all pots and pans and things, since I've not time to be

Accept this service that I do, I do it unto Thee.A Prayer for Life
