Simple Woman's Daybook- Dec. 29th

Stop by Peggy's to see this week's Simple Woman's Daybook posts.

Outside my window...Bright sunny day. The temperature is up in the 50's. Yesterday it was in the upper 60's. I can't wait until spring!

I am thinking...I need to get dinner started. We're having company for dinner tonight.

I am thankful for...the beautiful weather we're having this week. We don't have school, so the kids are spending a lot of time playing outside.

From the schoolroom...off for another week.

From the kitchen...Beef stew.

I am creating...this post.

I am going...to paint the kids' bedrooms while we're off from school. unfortunetaely, I don't have the budget to redo our bedroom. I'd lke to paint it a soft, relaxing blue. Not baby blue, not sky blue, but something soothing. Any ideas? leave me a comment :-)

I am wearing...a very flowing light green skirt I bought at the thrift store Saturday morning. It looks like somthing from the 1800's.

I am reading...Liturgy of the Hours

I am hoping...to go on a date with my husband this weekend. He has been spending all his free time finishing the basement.

I am hearing...Silent Night playing in the background.

Around the house...lots of new toys from Christmas.

One of my favorite things...drinking coffee while reading Divine Intimacy and Liturgy of the Hours.

A few plans for the rest of the week...Angela's God-mother is coming over tomorrow with a few of her children. We haven't gotten together since my birthday in September.

A picture thought I'm sharing...my new haircut. I cut most of it off again.

In my thoughts and prayers

Abortion is MURDER!

Pray for the unborn babies

“Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.” - Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

St. Thérèse Rose prayer novena

O Little Thérèse of the Child Jesus, please pick for me a rose from the heavenly gardens and send it to me as a message of love. O Little Flower of Jesus, ask God today to grant the favors I now place with confidence in your hands ….. (Mention specific requests) St. Thérèse, help me to always believe as you did, in God’s great love for me, so that I might imitate your “Little Way” each day. Amen

Novena to Saint Joseph

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, Pray for us. Amen.

Spiritual Communion

O Jesus I turn toward the holy tabernacle where You live hidden for love of me. I love You, O my God. I cannot receive You in Holy Communion. Come nevertheless and visit me with Your grace. Come spiritually into my heart. Purify it. Sanctify it. Render it like unto Your own. Amen.

Prayer for another child

Lovely Lady of La Leche, most loving mother of the Child Jesus, and my mother, listen to my humble prayer. Your motherly heart knows my every wish, my every need. 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. This I ask, O Lady of La Leche, in the Name of your Divine Son, My Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

Prayer to the Infant of Prague

O merciful Infant Jesus! I know of Thy miraculous deeds for the sick...in view of the innumerable graces and the cures granted...through the veneration of Thy Holy Infancy, particularly in the statue of Prague...I exclaim with the greatest assurance: O most loving...Infant Jesus, Thou canst cure ___ if Thou wilt! Extend Thy holy hand and by Thy power take away all pain and infirmity. Amen.

Act Of Resignation To The Divine Will

O Lord my God, I now, from this moment do I accept from Thy hands, with burning love and sincere contrition, with a calm and willing disposition, whatsoever death Thou shalt choose to send me, with its pains and griefs. Amen.

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

Prayer for Priests

O God, Who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the eternal High Priest for the glory of Thy Majesty and the salvation of mankind; grant that they whom He hath chosen to be His ministers and the stewards of His Mysteries, may be found faithful in the fulfillment of the ministry which they have received. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for the beatification of Frank Duff

God our Father, You inspired your servant Frank Duff with a profound insight into the mystery of Your Church, the Body of Christ, and of the place of Mary the Mother of Jesus in this mystery. 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.
