About t garcia

A simple soul trying to follow the will of God through the teachings of the Catholic Church and praying for those God sends on the journey of life one day at a time. Called to be a companion a long the way of the Cross to pray and bring hope. God has blessed me through this journey as a lay Carmelite, also through the cross of secondary infertility, chronic illness and serving each beautiful soul the Good Shepherd sends to this ministry. As I continue to seek our Lord's holy will I find joy and healing through serving HIM and seeking HIM. May all who seek support in this Ministry find HOPE and MERCY in the plan that only God the Father knows. God bless you always, Therese Garcia, ocds Hannah's Tears Ministry Companion

Short Biography St. Catherine Laboure (1806-1876)
At the age of eight, her mother died. She took care of the family. She joined the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul at chatillion in 1830, taking the name Catherine, and was sent to the Rue du Bac Convent in Paris. Almost at once she began to experience a series of visions of Our Lady in the chapel of the convent, and is most remembered by the request of Our Lady to have a medal struck honoring the Immaculate Conception. Her visions were approved as authentic in 1836 by a special commission appointed by the archbishop. She was canonized in 1947.

Mary, Our Mother

Posted on February 13, 2008 by t garcia

Keep all things in Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart; she will care for them as a good and holy mother, placing all things with her son Jesus.

Consecration to Mary

My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to you; and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am your own, keep me, guard me, as your property and possession.

Amen.

Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Our Lady, Our Mother

Act of Consecration for the Laity: http://www.mmp-usa.net/consecrate_eng_laity.html

“To be consecrated to me means to let yourself be led by me. It means to entrust yourself to me, like a child who lets itself be led by its mother.” “You must therefore accustom yourself to a new way of thinking, to a new way of acting. It is not your place to think of what is best for you; do not be making plans of building your tomorrow…” “…it is enough for you to say just as a little child: ‘Mother, I trust you, I let myself be led by you. Tell me: what must I do?’ “
