Pilina was inspired to offer up her own suffering in hope of helping others who were ill. We also pray that we may learn to offer up our own sufferings in hopes of helping those who are also suffering with the many crosses endured in the sacrament of matrimony. May we always draw near to Our Mother in Heaven who will always help us in our own sorrows.

more reflections from our dear Poor Clare Colettine Sisters from Wales… Thank you dear sisters for you prayerful and supportive words, they truly guide us through our days!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


On the Banks of the River of life, upon the eternal shore can you not hear the Angelus bell is resounding….. ringing in joy for those who have attained its shores….


Can you not hear Mary singing upon the banks of the river a Magnificat of joy!!!

Can you not hear the laughing waters of Redemption?

The wind of the Spirit of love blows!!! The sweet sweet tone of the bell rings out… proclaiming that through her YES we have received salvation…….. join your song to hers….

Dante maintained that when a soul entered purgatory the bells rang and those already there welcomed those entering with a solemn Te Deum….

I think the Angelus bell rings, its sweet tones ascend from earth to heaven… sound once produced ever moves upwards and onwards…

There is no time in God, we lay aside specific times…. dedicating the day to God, to Mary….. but somewhere it is always 6am 12 noon or 6pm….

SING UP!!!! and Pray!

Prayer of St. Faustina before the Eucharist

I adore You, Lord and Creator, hidden in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I adore You for all the works of Your hands, that reveal to me so much wisdom, goodness and mercy, O Lord. You have spread so much beauty over the earth and it tells me about Your beauty, even though these beautiful things are but a faint reflection of You, incomprehensible Beauty. And although You have hidden Yourself and concealed Your beauty, my eye, enlightened by faith, reaches You and my soul recognizes its Creator, its Highest Good, and my heart is completely immersed in prayer of adoration.

My Lord and Creator, Your goodness encourages me to converse with You. Your mercy abolishes the chasm which separates the Creator from the creature. To converse with You, O Lord, is the delight of my heart. In You I find everything that my heart could desire. Here You light illumines my mind, enabling it to know You more and more deeply. Here streams of graces flow down upon my heart. Here my soul draws eternal life. O my Lord and Creator, You alone, beyond all these gifts, give Your own self to me and unite Yourself intimately with Your miserable creature.

O Christ, let my greatest delight be to see You loved and Your praise and glory proclaimed, especially the honor of Your mercy. O Christ, let me glorify Your goodness and mercy to the last moment of my life, with every drop of my blood and every beat of my heart. Would that I be transformed into a hymn of adoration of You. When I find myself on my deathbed, may the last beat of my heart be a loving hymn glorifying Your unfathomable mercy. Amen.

Every problem, every pain, place in Our Lady’s hands.
She will see that everything is taken care of
as she places them before Her Son.

Something a friend shared with me today, so I thought I would pass it along to you!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity.

– St. Ignatius of Loyola (Priest, 1491-1556)


On earth, we are wayfarers, always on the go. This means that we have to keep on moving forward. Therefore be always unhappy about what you are if you want to reach what you are not. If you are pleased with what you are, you have stopped already. If you say; “It is enough,” you are lost. Keep on walking, moving forward, trying for the goal. Don’t try to stop on the way, or to go back, or to deviate from it.

– St. Augustine of Hippo, Bishop


It is important that you choose your career with care, so that you may really follow the vocation that God has destined for you. No day should pass without some prayer to this end. Often repeat with St. Paul: “Lord, what will you have me do?”

– St. John Bosco, Priest

Visits to the Blessed Sacrament are powerful and indispensable means of overcoming attacks of the devil. Make frequent visits to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and the devil will be powerless against you.

– St. John Bosco


Those who are led by the Holy Spirit have true ideas. That is why there are so many ignorant people who know far more than the learned.

– St. John Vianney, Patron Saint of Priests


O Gentle Jesus, Saint James was one of Your first apostles, but he started out as a very impulsive, self-centered man. He dared to ask You for a place of honor in Your kingdom, and he wanted You to destroy the villages that had rejected You, but eventually he developed a true understanding of holiness. I ask him to pray that my humility grows stronger than my pride, that I submit my will to Your will, and that when I speak, my words reveal Your gentleness and love. Restrain me when I want to rush ahead, and give me a broader perspective when I’m seeing things through a narrow, limited view. Saint James, pray for me. Amen.

– A prayer for the Feast of Saint James, Apostle, from Terry Modica’s book “Daily Prayers with the Saints for the New Millennium“, Queenship Publishing; http://gnm.org/books.htm


Does your mind desire the strength to gain the mastery over your passions? Let it submit to a greater power, and it will conquer all beneath it. And peace will be in you — true, sure, most ordered peace. What is that order? God as ruler of the mind; the mind as ruler of the body. Nothing could be more orderly.

– St. Augustine of Hippo, Bishop

When we have once placed ourselves entirely in the hands of God, we need fear no evil. If adversity comes, he knows how to turn it to our advantage by means which will in time be made clear to us.

– St. Vincent de Paul, Priest

This is nothing new to most of you, but I thought I’d share this as it is on my heart as a friend of ours is going through surgery today… as I am sure there are many others in this world enduring similar surgeries today. Let us pray for all those in need and for God’s holy will!

*The pain of infertility

Jane Williams shares her personal experience and feelings about infertility.

“There is a problem here. There’s a good chance you will have difficulty having children.”
