Be the Light

be the light

 

The church was open late in the evening

the only light came from the candles lite by devotion and prayer requests

there were a few people silently praying

the moment I entered I felt love, sadness, peace

and a 

release.

The womb surrounded me.

Be the light.

Who are you praying for?

    Danny Leonardo and his family. He lost his battle with COVID this morning. He was in his late 40’s. Very sad situation.

    For you Corrie.. you are in my thoughts and prayers to give you comfort. I am truly sorry for your loss. I feel as though we have all lost so much this last few years but somehow we need to keep being the light! ❤️

  3. I lost my husband of 46 years last year to cancer. Even though it has been a year grief has a way of sneaking up on me and lingering in the dark hours after midnight. They say it will get better, and I am sure it will, but it is still so hard.

  4. There are so many I ask Mary under different titles to aid me in praying for my intentions Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii for all the women with female cancers Our Lady of Success for you your mom brothers Marty his wife 2sons and his daughter Our Lady of Good Help for myself and my state of poor health Our Lady Undoer of Knots for my beloved sister and all she holds in her heart Our Lady of the rocks for a friend in Oregon Our lady of joy for a life long friend and your cousin Julie. Our lady Star of the Sea for my childhood friend all she hold in her heart and the list goes on it takes me a long time to go through them …. I should do what St John Paul ll used to do write the intentions put them in his desk and during his private prayer he would open the drawer as if saying all these intentions … some days I’m more focused it really does take me a long time …. Our Lady of Guadeloupe for my dad and it is because her feast day dec 12 th holds a special place in my life ! More than you asked … I will add all these intentions too as I was thinking of Pam how is she ?

    I pray for my friend here in Switzerland, who is grieving the loss of her husband, 4 1/2 months ago, to brain cancer.
    I pray for my family in Anchorage, and Chicago, who I miss so much.
    I pray for my friend in London who recently was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis.
    And I pray for you, Corey xx
    and your family.
    And I find peace, comfort, and hope.
    Lord, in your mercy …

  6. I always pray for you and yours and your family in California. For my Son and his family and all our family I pray for Danielle and many I know are sick and suffering and I am praying for everyone in this world.
    We are all deeply altered by a world wide pandemic.
    I pray it ends much sooner than later.
    I pray to Mother Mary each day.
    I send my love to all
    When prayers go up blessings come down

    My grandchildren, that they will always live in a free society

  8. Today I will attend Mass for my friend’s 16-year-old son, Jack, who passed away quite unexpectedly. I will pray for the candle of comfort and love to light their way home.

  9. We pray for living loved ones, always. I don’t often “pray” for those who have gone before me because I am assuming they have finally attained the ultimate peace, and they will live forever in my memory. I pray for worldwide peace and understanding in this world. I pray for my children and grandchildren and friends and relatives. I particularly pray for strangers who will come in contact with those who are different from themselves. A friend of mine often offers prayers for my young granddaughter who is transgender. I ask her to also pray for those who might want to harm my granddaughter. My granddaughter realized her body and her sex were not in sync when she was only three years and has been living as a girl since then. I pray, and am grateful for her parents, who have been struggling to understand their daughter’s challenges, as they face challenges of their own. I pray for those who are in mental and physical pain. Amen

    My brother in law was just diagnosed with West Nile Virus. He has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now and we just received the diagnosis. He is 64 years old and not doing well. If he can recover, It is going to be a long road and side effects to boot. He is the first case in Pittsburgh to get this so severely. The only other case was in 2018 and the person did not need to be hospitalized. Here we were worried about the pandemic, keeping safe, getting vaccinated, not traveling to see loved ones, and then West Nile Virus? Life is so unpredictable.
    I’m also praying for you and your family at this time; as well as, my family and for God to take care of everyone. This world needs so much right now. Take care.

  11. I am praying for this world which seems out of control, but it is not. I pray our children will be led to His Holy Word, love and obey Him. I pray my grandchildren will honor God and serve Him all of their lives. I pray peace for this world, that freedom and liberty will be restored everywhere.
