My Catholic Oasis: Doing Well

Doing Well

*JMJ* In my sidebar I have a prayer request list. I do believe in the power of prayer. I asked if you could pray for my father-in-law's continual recovery from his open heart surgery. Thanks to your prayers, he is doing well. So I will be removing him from my prayer request list. Also, my mother needed surgery. And she to is at home and recovering really well. And I'm sure she will be feeling herself real soon. My daughter on the other hand is still pregnant and having minor complications with her pregnancy so I ask that you would still pray for her. That she will be able to carry her pregnancy to full term with a good outcome with baby and mommy doing well. Thank you in advance. And thanks again to everyone who prayed for my father-in-law and my mother. God bless you all!

Prayer for the Family

O dear Jesus,
I humbly implore You to grant Your special
graces to our family. May our home be the
shrine of peace, purity, love, labor and faith. I
beg You, dear Jesus, to protect and bless all of
us, absent and preent, living and dead.

O Mary,
loving Mother of Jesus, and our Mother,
pray to Jesus for our family, for all the
families of the world, to guard the cradle
of the newborn, the schools of the young
and their vocations.

Blessed Saint Joseph,
holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, assisit us
by your prayers in all the necessities of
life. Ask of Jesus that special grace which
He granted to you, to watch over our home
at the pillow of the sick and the dying, so
that with Mary and with you, heaven may
find our family unbroken in the Sacred
Heart of Jesus.

Amen.

Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for
righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacmakers,
for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the
sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Mathew 5:3-10

Prayer Before a Crucifix

Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus
while before Your face I humbly kneel and,
with burning soul, pray and beseech You to
fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of
faith, hope, and chairty; true contrition for
my sins and a firm purpose of amendment.

While I contemplate, with great love and ten-
der pity, Your five most precious wounds,
pondering over them within me and calling
to mind the words which David, Your
prophet, said of You my Jesus:

"They have pierced My hands and My feet,
they have numbered all My bones."

Amen.
