A big part of being my most special favorite-est:
my desire to contemplate her more does persist
I'll write more soon, even if it takes me an hour!
On my fave poetess: St Therese the Little Flower
I'm back online now, reading some of her poetry
They are the type to be savored, so I can't hurry
She's surprisingly bright for a high school dropout
And is now world-famous, without a talent scout!
Everything always made her think of God's Love
(As her many spiritual poems were indicative of)
She didn't attribute power to New Age crystals,
Was a prayer-warrior without a sword or pistols
Her many topics vary; "Variety is the spice of life"
Nature, angels, Joan of Arc; sufferings, and strife
Therese wished she could be heroic, like St. Joan
I wish I could be as hidden as St. Therese, alone:
"Then hid shall be my life, unmarked, unknown,
That I may have Thee heart to heart with me;
For loving souls desire to be alone,
With love, and Thee!*
To write, she had to find some prayer time alone
They often end with rhymes (before RhymeZone)
This one in particular is one that my heart hears
(My PoetrySoup url is "small vase", for starters)!
To live of love, ’tis in my heart to guard
A mighty treasure in a fragile vase.
Weak, weak, am I, O well-beloved Lord!
Nor have I yet an angel’s perfect grace*
I hear ya, girl; that's totally how I feel, Therese
I feel small, fragile; He saves me from distress!…

St. Therese,

Thank you for all of my blessings. Please guide CN during his interview today. ILHSM. I don't want to ever lose him.

Please intercede in reuniting CB and me forever, faithfully. I ask that he stop all of the inappropriate behavior. I pray that he contact me soon. Please send me a blatant sign he still loves and misses me. Please send a financial miracle so I can help my parents and so they won't have to sell their home. I beg of you to give me the strength to lose a lot of weight before the shower & wedding. Please heal my parents. Please let things remain as they are at work. I ask that my clients pick up. It's been slow and it concerns me. Please always keep me gainfully employed and let J remain my supervisor. I love and remain faithful to you always.

Please pray for me. I have developed cellulitis, and possibly MRSA, and am allergic to the antibiotics needed to treat it. High risk. I need prayers for courage. With God's help, I will get through this and survive if it is His will.

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

St. Joseph, patron of departing souls – pray for me….Amen.

Holy Mother, in the heart of every man , There is a longing for a place called home.
In Christ, we know that Heaven is our true Home. Christ Jesus came into the world to show us the way home. On the Cross, Jesus won the victory…
Holy Mother, your children in Purgatory long for home.
Please speed the day of their deliverance (that wonderful day).
Holy Mother, please remember Robert c.D.(Bobby)…
Please pray for Bobby’s eternal rest.Implore God’s mercy and forgiveness.
Usher Bobby’s soul into the Glories of Heaven in the name of Jesus Christ…Amen
