Happy Birthday Blessed Mother of Jesus.

I love how God tells us what He is doing or will be doing through His word.  How does He do that?  Yes He is God and can do anything, He also transcends time.  Today as a Catholic, I remember the birth of the woman who said yes to God, the Supernatural yes, that allows you to be Christian.  Without her, Christ can not enter in!   God uses the least significant to make the biggest difference and He foretells what is to come.  She allowed the Holy Family to be a Holy Family, take a little time and reflect upon that today.  Our lineage makes a difference to us, if anyone of your grandparents would have made a different decision, you may not be here.  The same can be said about our Blessed Mother, her yes is the most important one to the world!

Lord Emmanuel, I know You treasure those who say Yes to You.  I thank You for choosing Mary as the vessel to carry Your Son so we can be the vessel to carry You.  Greater are You who is in me than he that is not in me.  Give us eyes that see Lord, I pray for the family.  I see the pain that is afflicted upon them, plans that take years to be unveiled.  May we always trust in You and turn to You and our heritage that our Joy may be the same.  I offer this up in the Joy of Mary's heart, Jesus Christ and we her son's and daughters.  Amen.  

Mary, Our Lady of Good Success, pray for us.

Peace be with you! Happy Feast of the Nativity of Mary!  Thank you for praying the Novena for Marriage & Family with us!  We hope this novena has been fruitful for you and your intentions, and that our Blessed Mother's intercession has brought you closer to the Lord.  Now, we would like to close this novena with our final prayer.

Now, Let us pray... (Audio/Video Version) In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Dear Lord Jesus, I have specific requests that may only partially fill the infinite needs and desires that are in my heart. I ask that You answer me not only for those requests but also for a greater reliance on You to satisfy the needs and desires that You have given me.  Please grant the prayers of all those who prayed this novena with me. Bless them with Your love and make them holy! May I seek You with a sincere heart knowing that it will profit me nothing if I gain the whole world yet lose my soul.  So, help me to see Your good and gracious purpose in all my trials. Help me to see Your blessings in every day and help me to love You more.  Thank You for everything, Lord Jesus!  Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

You are in my prayers.  

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.  1 John 4:4b
