O Lord, you alone matter. Let every American wake up to this fact. Strengthen us and help us to discern, and DO, Your will.
Help all Americans to rediscover Christ.
Help all patriots and military heroes.
Protect all children from harm.
Bring Justice to the evil.
Smite the devil.
Help us.
Save us.
Amen

Sad times. I glory that we can suffer in some small way what early Christians suffered.

YouTube has many wonderful Masses and religious videos. This forces each of us to construct our OWN Lenten journey. It turns us inward. Not a bad thing.

In the end, it’s really just you and God. All else is chaff.

God alone.

[Bigg Red]

amen

[SisterK]

Amen
May we celebrate this St. Patrick’s Day in the spirit of joy and may we not hunker down in the spirit of fear.

[Albion Wilde]

Finally, Lord, we ask for the protection of all those in harm's way. Give them discernment and wisdom to keep them safe. We ask, too, that those who have been wrongly charged be exonerated plainly and completely. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus. Amen

And amen, dear John4.11!

I've posted this every year on this day; it seems very appropriate this year:

The Lorica (The Breastplate) of Saint Patrick
Apostle to the Emerald Isle

A literal translation from the old Irish text

I bind to myself today
the strong virtue of the Invocation of the trinity:
I believe in the trinity in Unity, the Creator of the Universe.

I bind to myself today
the virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
the virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,
the virtue of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
the virtue of His coming on the Judgement Day.

I bind to myself today
the virtue of the love of seraphim, in the obedience of angels,
in the hope of resurrection unto reward,
in prayers of Patriarchs, in predictions of Prophets,
in preaching of Apostles, in faith of Confessors,
in purity of holy Virgins, in deeds of righteous men.

I bind to myself today the power of Heaven,
the light of the sun, the brightness of the moon,
the splendour of fire, the flashing of lightning,
the swiftness of wind, the depth of sea,
the stability of earth, the compactness of rocks.

I bind to myself today
God’s Power to guide me, God’s Might to uphold me,
God’s Wisdom to teach me, God’s Eye to watch over me,
God’s Ear to hear me, God’s Word to give me speech,
God’s Hand to guide me, God’s Way to lie before me,
God’s Shield to shelter me, God’s Host to secure me,

Against the snares of demons,
against the seductions of vices, against the lusts of nature,
against everyone who meditates injury to me,
whether far or near, whether few or with many.
I invoke today all these virtues
against every hostile merciless power
which may assail my body and my soul,

Against the incantations of false prophets,
against the black laws of heathenism,
against the false laws of heresy, against the deceits of idolatry,
against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.
Christ, protect me today against poison, against burning,
against drowning, against death-wound,
that I may receive abundant reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort, Christ in the chariot seat,
Christ in the fore deck, Christ in the aft deck,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I bind to myself today
the strong virtue of the Invocation of the trinity,
I believe in the trinity in Unity
the Creator of the Universe.

A humble Amen to this beautiful prayer.

Thank you so much.

[stars & stripes forever]

AMEN.
Thank You, Abba Father for the hope, joy, and peace that comes from You as we pray. If we begin to worry, teach us to worship. If we begin to panic, help us to pray. If we begin to get riled, help us to rejoice.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Amen.

[Exit148]

Please hear us, Dear Lord and please watch over us. Amen.

[Albion Wilde]

Oh, thank you, dear FRiend.

Thank You, Father, for the life of Patrick—a true evangelist. My life may have been greatly diminished, or not existed at all, if it weren’t for Bishop Patrick, centuries ago. Hallelujah!

May the true meaning of the day reach the ears of those who stay indoors today because of the cv, instead of drinking in bars.

Would you please pray for my dear husband Mel tonight. He has parkinsons disease and is sick with the croup and a fever. The doctor has put him on a Zpak. I fear taking him to the hospital due to the corona virus. The doctor said to keep him home unless he gets worse. I’m sitting at his bedside tonight asking God for a Divine touch over his body...If he could just rest I believe the meds would help him heal. Thank you.

Father in Heaven, we ask for Mel's comfort and healing. Please quiet and calm all symptoms of discomfort, lift his immunity and grant his physicians Your healing insight and gifts. Father please help Mel perceive your warm and tender presence while he recovers. Pleases speed his recovery, shield him from any and all other illnesses or complications, and grant him and Pollywog Your peace that surpasses all understanding during this time. Thank you, Father, for blessing us with their lives.

[DLfromthedesert]

Said a prayer for Mel. Hope he feels better soon.

[etabeta]

Adding my prayers. God bless.

[mass55th]

Will keep your husband in my prayers.

Besides a hot, steaming bath, years ago they recommended syrup of ipecac to relieve kids from the croup. I used to get it myself when I was young, and my youngest son had it once. The doctor advised syrup of ipecac to make him vomit, which brought up all that mucous.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Prayers for your husband’s health and a swift and speedy recovery from his recent illness !

Praying for Mel, and for you too, Pollywog!
