6th week of Easter... The Lord's Day... we are off to the doctor with Gus and Nancy to check his bilirubin and Nancy's anxiety that is getting in the way of her sleeping in the intervals between feeding her son. We gathered in prayer before going to bed last night and beseeched Mary and Jesus and Joseph - the Holy Family to intercede for us.
Nancy just reported that the night went well. I had to tell the nursing home that family needs me and that I couldn't make it there to work this morning. There are times when family comes before all else! Jesus, we trust in you. Go with us this morning and thank you for always being there carrying us like lambs when we are weak. Bless-bless, Barb
We should be ever mindful of the end of our lives, and live each day as if it might be our last. This prayer to Christ, asking Him to grant us the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph at the hour of our death, is a good evening prayer.
For the Protection of the Holy Family
Grant unto us, Lord Jesus, ever to follow the example of Thy holy Family, that in the hour of our death Thy glorious Virgin Mother together with blessed Joseph may come to meet us and we may be worthily received by Thee into everlasting dwellings: who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.
