Novena to St. Joseph- day 9 Friday, May 1 2009

O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.

O Saint Joseph, 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.

O Saint 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. Amen

O Saint Joseph, hear my prayers and obtain my petitions. O Saint Joseph, pray for me. (Mention your intention)

(Note: This prayer was found in the 50th year of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In 1505, it was sent by the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. It is said that whoever shall read this prayer or take it with them, shall never die a sudden death or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.)

Say this prayer for nine days for anything you may desire. Then let go and let God. Trust that whatever is the outcome of your novena is truly what is best for you in accordance with the will of God.)

Simple Woman’s Daybook- April 27th edition Monday, Apr 27 2009

Outside my window…

the sun is out and it's going to be another hot day. We had record-breaking temperatures yesterday. I'm going to stay inside with the baby today come out when the sun goes down.

I am thankful for…

My family and my Catholic faith

To live the Liturgy…

We will be celebrating 3 great feast days this week; St. Luis Marie De Montfort, St. Catherine of Sienna and St. Joseph the Worker.

I am praying…

a novena to St. Joseph for our daughter Adrianna. I'm hoping she'll be able to find another job this summer to help pay for her Fall classes.

From the schoolroom…

all bout birds, rocks and writing out 9th grade Seton lesson plans.

From the kitchen…

leftover smoked chicken from yesterday's cookout. I think I'm going to make a chicken salad for dinner since it's going to be so hot today.

I am creating…

more lesson plans for the kids. Someday I hope to come up with the perfect lesson plan that fits with the different learning styles of each of my kids.

I am going…

to catch up with laundry sometime today. I wish I could get myself organized enough to always be on top of it.

I am wearing…

my Eeyore pajamas. I didn't make it to Mass this morning, so today might be a pajama day, at least until after lunch.  

I am reading…

Divine Intimacy; Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves; Connection Parenting.

I am hoping…

to help my daughter with her Seton syllabus. It's very overwhelming, but my oldest daughter did Seton in high school, so hopefully, she'll help us through it.

I am hearing…

the air conditioning running. Yes, it's on already. I can lower the thermostat in the winter, but I'm a wimp in the summer months.

Around the house…

a cute little baby girl getting into everything!!!

One of my favorite things…

spending one on one time with each of my children. I don't get to do that enough.

A few plans for the rest of the week…

Joseph's 11th birthday tomorrow. We're going to 7 am Mass and then maybe we'll go bowling before lunch.

A Picture thought I'm sharing…

our beautiful house. I'm sitting on the grass holding our precious baby girl.
