Not so "Wordless Wednesday"
Look at this pile of clean laundry. Why is it so easy for me to hang the clothes on the clothes line and take them down, but I can't keep up with folding them and putting them away? I look forward to going outside in the mornings and hanging the clothes on the line while listening to the birds singing and watching the baby play next to me. It reminds me of one of my favorite images of Our lady. Doing laundry helps me to count my blessings.
It's really the kids' chore to fold the laundry and put it away, but I haven't been able to delegate much this month and now it's catching up with me. These are actually my husband's clothes, my clothes and the 4 little kids' clothes from the past three days. The three older girls do their own laundry. How can a family go through so many clothes in less than a week? I haven't even had a chance to wash the baby's diapers and the kitchen and bath towels. I'm doing that after the litltle kids go to bed tonight.
Maybe I should spend more time catching up with housework instead of making Rosaries while the baby sleeps. Maybe not ;-) In the meantime, I will praise God for the messes in my life.

In my thoughts and prayers
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
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.
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 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

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
