Guest writer Kambra Malone has a few words to share about “Back In His Arms Again Ministry”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Friends of Hannah’s Tears,

I am writing you today to tell you of a ministry that my husband and I along with Fr. H. Blubaugh began in 2005. It is called “Back In His Arms Again”. We felt called to begin this ministry after the loss of our son, Gabriel Francis. Since May 2005 we have been approved and distributed throughout the Columbus diocese. Not only do we help families in need during the loss of their baby, we also have made presentations at many area churches, hospitals, the National convention of “Newborns In Need” and most recently recorded a program with Fr. Frank Pavone which aired on June 1, 2008, “Gospel of Life” program. In addition we have recorded two radio programs with our local Catholic station, St. Gabriel Radio, “Yes Lord!” program.

One of our most recent projects is establishing a “Garden of Holy Innocents” at each of the four Catholic cemetery’s in Columbus Ohio. This would provide a place of healing and prayer for families that experience the loss of a baby. We anticipate the completion of these burial “Gardens” in the next year.

We receive 50-100 emails and phone calls per month from around the USA, and we have received several international phone calls. Our ministry provides anything from burial layettes, caskets, funeral home support, hospital transportation, etc… the whole idea is to bring together resources from our community and beyond to help families give their babies a respectful and dignified burial. It is evident from our rapid growth in the past three years, that we need to help families through the Catholic faith to find healing and peace.

Fr. Frank Pavone, will soon be helping us to grow even further on a National level. We are looking forward to expanding so we may help as many families as possible.

Please find our web address below to learn more about our ministry to honor precious little lives.

Saint Dominic

A Spaniard who founded the Dominicans, “Father of the Friars”, fought the Albigensians in France, and received the Rosary from Virgin Mary.

Reflection: “God has never refused me what I have asked,” said Saint Dominic. How could God refuse to respond to the single intention of His Saints, which is His own — the salvation and sanctification of souls? Saint Dominic has left us the Rosary that we may learn, with Mary’s help, to ask what pleases God, and then to pray easily and simply with the same trust.

Lord God, you made St. Albert of Trapani a model of purity and prayer, and a devoted servant of Our Lady. May we practise these same virtues and so be worthy always to share the banquet of your grace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Prayers of the Carmelite Proper

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is of great importance to understand as Catholic Christians that when we suffer and offer it to God as a prayer, this becomes a great treasure, which seems to be beyond all human understanding. We must learn to unite our sufferings to Jesus on the Cross, just as many saints did in days past. “Be NOT Afraid!”

The Lord is so good!

I was in search of the Saint of the day and found that Bl. Edmund is also chosen for August 7. His story is so beautiful, his life a gift to Our Lord… His love for Our Lady was heroic as he was given a gift of serving others.

“Bl. Edmund Bojanowski loved God and loved man. He was a man of prayer. His love for people, demonstrated by heroic deeds, was born of deep union with God through prayer. He drew from it the strength to serve man. That love grew in him on his knees and later bore fruit. Through prayer his whole life became a ceaseless service to the needy, especially children. For him, God’s affairs were also human affairs, and love of God was love of man.”

Pope John Paul II

Thank God humbly for the grace of His holy inspiration. May the holy fire of God’s love glow more brightly and ardently in your heart so that neither difficulties nor anything in the world would lessen the zeal in your heart in this spiritual endeavor.” Encouragement of Blessed Edmund

Profile
A member of a wealthy, landed, Polish noble family. He studied literature at universities in Breslau and Berlin. Contracted tuberculosis in his 20s. He dedicated his life to the service of abandoned children, the sick, and poor, teaching and spending his fortune in the service of the needy. He founded reading rooms and libraries to provide books and learning to the poor, and started the first daycare centers in the country. He funded assistance for the sick, supported orphanages, and worked in both himself. Founded the Congregation of the Servants of the Immaculate Virgin Mary whose 4,500 sisters continue the work around the world. Two years before his death Edmund entered the seminary, but did not survive long enough to graduate or be ordained.

~Let us all lift our cross to Jesus at the foot of the altar~

The cross that you endure is real and it has been made especially for you. Let no one ever compare their cross with yours! Each of us has pain, suffering and emotions that belong to the one who bares the pain. Comparing our crosses in this life just adds to the grief… it goes in circles like a cat chasing it’s tail. May we all find the peace we need in all of our trials.
Anyone who needs to compare their cross with someone else needs much prayer and hope. Let us pray for each other…
God Bless!

Transfiguration of the Lord

The TRANSFIGURATION of OUR LORD

Reflection: From the contemplation of this glorious mystery we ought to conceive a true idea of future happiness. If this idea enters our souls, we will think nothing of the difficulties or labors we meet with here, but will regard with great indifference all the goods and evils of this life, provided we obtain our portion in the kingdom of God’s glory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
O’ Mary Conceived without sin, our true Mother in Heaven, please help us all to realize the glory Our Lord has for us beyond the sufferings and trials of this world. Help us to respond with our yes to God as you did. Amen

August 4th ~ Saint John Vianney

So great was St. John Vianney’s insight into people’s problems that by 1855 the number of his visitors was said to be 20,000 annually, and a special railroad booking office had to be opened in Lyons… you want a miracle?, go to Philomena , he used to say, I don’t do miracles.

Catechism on Suffering by Saint John Vianney

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

We should consider those moments spent before the Blessed Sacrament as the happiest of our lives.

St. John Vianney

I think that you will receive much out of the “Catechism on Suffering”… What does it mean to you? Suffering with love is the answer…

My prayer is that God, give us the strength and the courage to suffer with love. Let us continue to pray for each other.

Blessings for a beautiful day!
