The most important work that you and I will ever do will be within the walls of our own homes. ~ HB Lee
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.

Prayer to the Little Flower
Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas
Student's Prayer: Grant me, I beseech Thee, most merciful God, prudently to study, rightly to understand, and perfectly to fulfill that which is pleasing to Thee, in the praise and glory of Thy Name. Amen.* * * * * * Prayer to Know God's Will: Grant me grace, O merciful God, to desire ardently all that is pleasing to Thee, to examine it prudently, to acknowledge it truthfully, and to accomplish it perfectly for the praise and glory of Thy name. Amen.
Memorare of St. Anne
Remember, O holy mother, St. Anne, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided, for thou art a most merciful mother and aid all who are in distress. Inspired with this confidence, I take refuge with thee and beseech thee, by thy great perogative of being the mother of the Queen of Heaven and the Grandmother of the Saviour of the world, come to my aid with thy powerful intercession, and obtain from thine Immaculate Daughter this favor. In honor of the nine months during which thou didst bear the ever-blessed Virgin in thy womb and brought her forth without stain of original sin, I now pray nine Hail Marys, which I offer thee through my Guardian Angel. Amen.
Are We There Yet?
For the benefit of anyone who wonders, this is where you are.
If you'd like to know where we're headed,
In This Sign...
Everything written here is intended toward the honor and glory of God, for aid and encouragement in the vocations of wife, mother and homemaker, praying always for the intercession of Our Heavenly Mother, the Mediatrix of All Grace. Hoping to have a little fun, too... (Click on the above image for the story of the cross on Mt. Crucis!)
