Devotions Meme

Katherine tagged me. 

I tag Lisa, Michele, and Cay.

1. Favorite devotion or prayer to Jesus?

The Infant of Prague Novena. It's actually on my sidebar.

2. Favorite Marian devotion or prayer?

The Rosary.  I pray the Joyful and Sorrowful mysteries in the morning before everyone gets up, and the kids and I pray the 5 mysteries for the day around 8 o'clock in the morning as my husband gets on the train. My dream is to pray 5 decades with my husband before bed.

3. Do you wear a scapular or medal

I wear both, although I recently lost my Miraculous medal and haven't replaced it.

4. Do you have holy water in your home?

Yes. By the front door. It's an Infant of Prague holy water font I bought in Puerto Rico last year.

5. Do you offer up your sufferings?

I try to. That's a tough one.

6. Do you observe First Fridays and First Saturdays?

We've tried for years to do both, but we have yet to succeed.

7. Do you go to Eucharistic Adoration? How frequently?

At my old parish we had Adoration Friday to Saturday morning. I used to go every Second Saturday at our old parish at 6 am, but since we moved a year ago,  I haven't been able to make it. We do have all day Adoration on First Fridays here.

8. Are you a Saturday evening Mass person or Sunday morning Mass person?

Sunday morning.

9. Do you say prayers at mealtime?

Yes. Grace and the Angelus.

10. Favorite Saint(s)?

The Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, St. Therese of the Little Flower, St. Monica, and St. Dymphna.

St. Maximillian Kolbe, how could I forget you?

11. Can you recite the Apostles Creed by heart?

Yes.

12. Do you usually say short prayers (aspirations) during the course of the day?

Yes. When I look at the picture of my children in the "Rosary Room", I say, Thank you, Jesus.

13.  Where is your favorite place to pray?

Our Living Room. We renamed it, "The Rosary Room". These pictures and images help us focus. The last picture is an Apostolic Blessing from the Holy Father for our 18th wedding anniversary.

14. Bonus Question: When you pass by a automobile accident or other serious mishap, do you say a quick prayer for the folks involved?

Yes, we say a Hail Mary.

15. Helen's bonus question: If you could visit any of Our Lady’s apparition sites, which one would you choose?

Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica in Mexico.

To you only, His spotless Virgin Mother, has your Divine Son given to understand the sentiments which fill my soul. Yours was the sacred privilege of being the Mother of the Savior. Intercede with him now, my loving Mother, that, in accordance with His will, I may become the mother of other children of our heavenly Father.

Prayer for Purity

  • Dearest Jesus! I know well that every perfect gift, and above all others that of chastity, depends upon the most powerful assistance of Thy Providence, and that without Thee a creature can do nothing. Therefore, I pray Thee to defend, with Thy grace, chastity and purity in my soul as well as in my body. And if I have ever received through my senses any impression that could stain my chastity and purity, do Thou, Who art the Supreme Lord of all my powers, take it from me, that I may with an immaculate heart advance in Thy love and service, offering myself chaste all the days of my life on the most pure altar of Thy Divinity. Amen. -St. Thomas Aquinas

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for the beatification of Frank Duff

In his immense desire to share this insight with others and in filial dependence on Mary he formed her Legion to be a sign of her maternal love for the world and a means of enlisting all her children in the Church's evangelising work. We thank you Father for the graces conferred on him and for the benefits accruing to the Church from his courageous and shining faith. With confidence we beg You that through his intercession you grant the petition we lay before You . ............... We ask too that if it be in accordance with Your will, the holiness of his life may be acknowledged by the Church for the glory of your Name, through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
