Glad you found the Rosary!
St. Anthony, be my help.
I had a tooth pulled this morning, and afterwards, went to the pharmacy to get the pain meds and another prescription refilled.
The moment I closed my car door at the pharmacy I realize I locked my keys in my car. Bah!
Still haven’t had to take any pain meds, though. Hooray!
Graces we gain when receiving the Eucharist.
•The grace of repentance and true interior sorrow for our having offended God.
•The grace of remission of the sufferings that are due to us because we have sinned.
•The grace enlightening our minds which have been darkened by sin. Sin and darkness go together throughout the bible and throughout human history.
•The grace of strengthening our wills to do good and avoid evil, because our own wills have been weakened by sins.
•The grace of obtaining grace for others, especially the grace of conversion for hardened sinners and the grace of conversion to the true faith for those who may never have even heard the gospel effectively preached to them.
•The grace of inspiring and enabling us to make out of love for God. A sacrifice is the surrender of something precious to God. How generous can you be? The most demanding sacrifice — the most difficult we are called to make — is to surrender that most precious creature that happens to have your name. How we love that creature and not want to give it up! But we can do so with the graces found in the sacrifice sacrament of the Eucharist.
Good for you for seeing the dentist. You will need good choppers for the rest of your life.
My mother's dentist, years ago, was a Dr. Poppers. Lol. We had a lot of fun with that one.
I have a SMART car and it won't let you lock your keys in the car: SMART car for distracted old folks! C'est moi!
