Dear Lord since the election of the new president in the United States, the administration has accelerated the challenges to LIFE (Unborn, Elderly, Disabled, etc.), to marriage, traditional families, children, gender and restrictions to Religious and other Freedoms. As the storm rages, we pray for the return of moral values to all our public officials and lawmakers not only in the Unites States but worldwide where persecution of Christians is on the rise. In Jesus Name we pray for safe refuge from this storm. Jesus instructed Saint Faustina to “Say the chaplet I have taught you and the storm will cease. Through the chaplet you will obtain everything, if you ask what is compatible with My will.” Jesus I Trust in You.

Hello Sisters! I pray and hope you are doing well. It has been a little while. I had a very prayerful lent. Things are a little tumultuous right now. We are moving out of our house as prices skyrocket. My landlord wants too much money for the house and he was not fixing anything like leaks in the ceiling. It's a very nice location though in a safe spot with nice neighbors for the kids, so we are uneasy about moving. I bought an old motorhome that I hope is not a lemon. We are going to drive to Canada and spend time up there this summer (from Ave Maria FL). If you could please pray for my success in work, that I can resolve a lot of cases in a speedy and efficient manner and wrap up my venture with my law partners, that I fix the right things on my motorhome to make it safe and workable, and that I be in tune with God's will always. And please also pray Him thank you! As well as to St. Joseph, who has been quite quiet lately. Thank you and Happy Easter! I am looking forward to reading St. Therese's book. I read a book about her parents during lent.
