Saint Joseph, Pillar of Families

I didn't use to pray novenas.  I always thought that praying directly to God was better.  But I read this passage from the Bible: "The continual prayer of a just man availeth much." - James 5:16 I thought of the matter more and now I see that novenas are a humble way of praying.  It is asking those closest to Jesus (and holiest) people who walked the earth, to pray for me. This is not a new way of doing things as Moses intervened for the Jews when God wanted to punish them for making a bull with their own hands and started worshipping them. I now think God is pleased whenever I pray a novena.    Since then, I have seen so many SIGNS AND WONDERS in myself and in my circumstances because I prayed a novena.   I credit Saint Joseph for my happy home life and also for helping us with our finances though the best thing for me is the way novenas help us to lead holy lives.  The saints want no applause but rather, they will always draw us closer to God.   Instead of idolizing cel

Gratitude


A huge hole is still gaping within the inner recesses of, not my heart, nor my mind, but in my mouth.

The second of 4 sessions of my RC (R-oot C-anal) let my dentist blurt out sarcastically "this is really my favorite, sorry". He meant the exact opposite. I know... TMI, Too Much Information right? I wish it were over soon but it seemed endless, the widening of the hole, the screw latching... or rather screwS.

This Gratitude drawing is to be thankful to God for the invention of anesthesia, thankful that my dentist is only a few steps away from where I work. I'm grateful that there is a way to fix things inside my mouth, even if sometimes I felt I was in a movie from Silence of the Lambs.

Behind every pain, there is wisdom to be gained. ♥
