These are truly some words to ponder and meditate on.. You can find the whole story at http:www.catholic.com/thisrock/2006/0604fea3.asp

“An Unexpected Blessing -Children, though, are not the only gift of marriage. Infertility, too, is a great and mysterious blessing. Just as much as fertility, infertility is a gift husband and wife give one another. It is an affirmation that “I still love you. I love all of you. And I refuse to allow anything to come between us.” Infertility is also a gift couples can give to God and to the world. Like Christ’s crucifixion, infertility is a sign of contradiction in a culture in which human life has lost its value.”
Obtained in part from the article “Babies Deserve Better What You Need to Know If You’re Struggling With Infertility” by Jameson and Jennifer Taylor

Let us join others that are supporting fertility and the sufferings that come with the married state of our Catholic lives. Our Lord never leaves us alone, we have so many that are praying with and for us around the world. As our Dear Lord forms His army of prayer warriors, we are in the process of becoming associated with Elizabeth Ministry International and we would like to encourage all of you to join our efforts as we pray for and encourage each other on our journey of fertility and the married state of life. Here is a prayer that Elizabeth Ministry prays daily some have made the commitment to pray this prayer at noon each day. So if some of you already pray the Angelus http://www.ewtn.com/devotionals/prayers/Angelus.htm , this might be a prayer that you consider for those in this great need.

Prayer of the Catholic Physician

Please keep our Catholic Medical field in prayer, that they will have the wisdom from Our Dear Lord and Savior, to help us in our physical needs. We need to keep them in prayer as much as we need to keep priests and families in prayer. Maybe we could offerr 3 Glory Be’s for their profession every day in honor of the Blessed Trinity.

God Bless You All!

Prayer to Saint Luke
Most charming and saintly Physician, you were animated by the heavenly Spirit of love. In faithfully detailing the humanity of Jesus, you also showed his divinity and his genuine compassion for all human beings. Inspire our physicians with your professionalism and with the divine compassion for their patients. Enable them to cure the ills of both body and spirit that afflict so many in our day. Amen.

Our Lady of Laus appearing to Bl. Benoite Rencurel

What is Our Lord calling you to? Have you heard that still quiet voice within your own heart, as you pray before the Lord? What is He asking of you?

No one can tell you, but if you ask the Lord He will tell you.

Do you feel a call to adoption or foster care? Maybe you feel that you are not good enough or you can’t see yourself raising someone elses child.

Always remember that children are a gift from the Lord and that if Our Lord is asking you to such a great task, like adopting a child who needs a mommy and daddy. A child that a is alone and in need. Remember this that God the Father will give you the grace that you and your spouce need, if you go to Him, who waits for YOU.

BE NOT AFRAID… PRAY HOPE AND DON’T WORRY. If there are mountains in the way of your adoption process, go to the Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, He will move the mountains in your life. Trust HIM!

You are all in our daily prayers, there is an army of prayer warriors praying for you! That picture in my mind gives me hope. I pray it gives you that same hope and trust that you need. God bless you…

Blessings in the Heart of Christ Jesus
Enthroned in the Most Blessed Sacrament,
