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.

I'm thinking of getting a Canon S90 or a DSLR (but that is so bulky)! For now I just borrow from my sister. Which is why I was able to post this night shot of my winning journal!


I hope I am able to make a decision soon about what camera to purchase as my trip to document World Youth Day looms nearer and nearer every day!


Have a blessed day! :)

  1. Hey Calej! What a beautiful winning!!!! I love it! It reminds me of a doll that I used to have as a child. The type whose eyes would close when you lay her down.

    I pray that your New Year is going well thus far.

    Be blessed!
