I'm so honored that Ginny and Marie over at one of my favorite blogs, View From the Pews, saw fit to award AWTY this honor! I'd like to pass it on along to some wonderful bloggers, rich in the true spirit of Christ's birth during this blessed season!

First of all, right back to Ginny and Marie!

And:

Laura at Catholic Teacher Musings

Eileen at Eileen on Him...

I know many of these excellent, faith-filled bloggers may already have received this award, but, it just goes to show how wonderful they are that they are nominated many times! I love these ladies! Every one of these blogs is filled with the true spirits of Faith and Hope and Charity of Our Lord's Nativity and inspire these virtues in all their visitors.

Maria (also Bia) said...: You know what I'm doing right at this very minute? Printing out the recipe for the Christmas Eve cookies. You know what my boys are doing this weekend? Writing their "I am" poems that we got from you. And you know what? You always inspire us with faith, creativity, and fun.

Heavenly Father, we ask You to guide our children in the choice of spouse. Don't let them be carried away by false charms or be fascinated by mere outward glamour, but guide their minds to look beneath and beyond all external attractiveness for the deeper things which alone are worth while.

Especially let the choice be of one who is a fervent Catholic, true in thought and word and deed to those ideals which are Yours, especially the value of their purity.

Dear Father of us all, give Your guiding help to our children, who are Your children, too. We will be letting them go soon, but please don't ever let our children go from you. Amen

St. Valentine, patron of romantic love, pray for us!

O, St. Joseph...

...whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O, St. Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me from thy Divine Son all spiritual blessings; so that having engaged here below thy Heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thy arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy 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.
