Just Another Day In Paradise

Rosary give away for the month of the suffering souls

This month, which is dedicated to the suffering souls in purgatory, I'm giving away a beautiful black rosary. I will pick the winner on November 8th, the last day of the octave of the feast of All Saints.

The Aves are 8mm black Onyx beads. The Paters are 10mm fire polished Czech beads. The Miraculous Medal center is 1 inch long and the Thistle Crucifix is 2 1/4 inches long. They are solid bronze and are hand cast from antique pieces.There is also a small St. Joseph bronze medal attached to the Rosary. This rosary is perfect for that special man in your life. 

Please remember to pray for the faithful departed. There is so much we can do for the Church Suffering. 

The Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great

A prayer Catholics should be familiar with is that of St. Gertrude the Great (A.D. 1256-1301/2), who was told by Our Lord in a private revelation, that when the following prayer is prayed earnestly, 1,000 souls will be released from Purgatory. Because of the desire to unite the prayer with the merits of the Mass, it is most powerful:

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood Of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, those in my own home and within my own family. Amen.

 

How I came up with my blog's name

I just love this song. Our 17 year old daughter actually dedicated this song to our family. I think it's perfect! After I heard it I thought, "This is the perfect name for the blog."

Just Another day in Paradise, by Phil Vassar

The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman bringing
That stack of bills - overdue
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it.
I promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things

Well, it's ok. It's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, plan B looks like
Dominoes' pizza in the candle light
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
Can meand my teddy
Come in to sleep in between?

Yeah it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

Well, it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

For just another day in paradise
Well, it's the kids screaming. The phone ringing
Just another day
Well, it's Friday. You're late
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise.
