Time to Wake Up
My weekend was very interesting! My boy friend and I went to go visit some of
his cousins. After the visit, I thought
really hard about my faith. You see, his
cousins converted to Catholicism a little over a year ago. I was in awe of how much they love the faith
and how much they knew. One thing I
always told myself was that I loved to be around people who convert to
Catholicism because they study the faith so much to make sure this is what they
really feel is their HOME. All weekend
long they talk about the faith and knew every answer. They told me that they liked reading my
blog. I thought to myself, “well I
haven’t written in my blog for a while”.
Then I realized that I felt happiest when I wrote blogs about my
faith. I felt then that God was calling
me back to my blog. You see I don’t know
everything about my Catholic faith but I long to learn more and more about the
Church. I want to know everything. Why we do things? Why we have Love the people we love? I want to WONDER why and I want to learn,
because when I learn I love the Church more and more. So keep me in your prayers. I ask that God will guide me in the right
direction, so that I can learn more about the faith that I love!

Power of Prayer
Have you ever wondered how much prayer can help? I have decided that I would like to start praying a novena for something that I need guidance for. I started looking up stories that people have of an impact on this prayer and how powerful it can be. Have you ever prayed the novena? Do you have recommendations on a certain novena I should pray? Any ideas would be helpful.
When I pray my novena I will not blog about it durning the process. I will blog about my experience after my prayer has been completed and let you know how I felt as I prayed it. I want to be completely focussed on my prayer.
Please keep me in your prayers as I will continue to keep you in mine! God Bless and Happy Friday!!

The Blessed Mother
Have you ever wondered how much you love your mother? I don't know what I would do without my mom. She is my heart and knows every single time I hurt without me even saying anything. I guess it's a gift that a mother has. So if I love my mother more than words, I wonder how much Jesus loves His mother? I mean I am talking about a Man that loves more than anyone in the world could ever love. Wow! Just thinking about the idea of how much He loves her makes me love His mother.
The Virgin Mary, pregnant with the Son of God at 14. I hold this women with the up most right respect. When I read the Bible I tear up reading the scriptures about His Mother.
40And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. Luke 1:40-45
I love this scripture because it helps me understand that Mary is Blessed! That she is the "Mother of my Lord" What more do you need there? That "All generations shall call her Blessed"
This is one of my favorite verses: John 2:2–5
2And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4Jesus saith unto her, a Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
This was one of Jesus' first miracles. He turned water into wine. Who was the person that ask Him of this? Yep that's right! His mother, which brings me to this commandment: Honor your Mother and Father. He honored His mother. Even though it was not his hour he still did as He was asked by His mother. Number 1 reason why I also pray to the Blessed Mother Mary! (Please don't get pray and worshiped confused) I know that I can go directly to God but it doesn't hurt to have more prayer, so I pray to Mary and ask her to pray for me because, of course, He will honor His mother. Correct?
What about this verse: John 19:25–27
25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his amother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the adisciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy amother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
This was not John's mother, so why did Jesus say "Behold thy mother!"? Was it maybe because she is our mother, our Blessed Mother! ;)
I get the question all the time "Why do you pray for or to the dead" Did God promise us Eternal Life? Those people in Heaven are not dead. They are more a live than we ever could be here on Earth. They are holier than anyone on Earth could ever be because they are with our Lord. So My Blessed Mother is holy. She was the first one ever to receive God and she NEVER left His side.
O Jesus, Divine Master, I thank and bless Your most merciful Heart for having given us Mary most holy as your Mother, Teacher and Queen. From the cross You placed us all in her hands. You gave her a great heart, much wisdom and immense power. May all mankind know her, pray for her! May all permit themselves to be led by her to You, the Savior of mankind. I placed myself in her hands, as You placed Yourself. With this Mother I want to live now, in the hours of my death, and for all eternity.
Amen

My Faith
Someone asked me today why I write and speak so much about my Catholic faith. They asked why I don't just talk about God. I sat there for a moment and one mistake that I did was walk away from the conversation when I should have let that person know why exactly I speak about my Catholic Faith. This person said to me (not in exact words) "When you get to the gates of Heaven God is going to ask you why you spoke so much about religion (the Catholic faith) and not just about him." My heart started to hurt after I heard that sentence. Heres why:
First I don't believe my God would ask me that question, but if he did this would be my answer. "My God I am in awe of who You are and I am in awe of what You are about. When I would read about You and Your journey in Your book I can't stop thinking about all the beautiful lessons you wanted to teach Your people and all the beautiful gifts that were given through You. My Catholic faith taught me to loves those people that You held close and to love the gifts that you gave. Lord, I can't tell you how amazing it is to receive you every Sunday with the Holy Eucharist. I can't tell you how much I love the gift of confession I can't tell you how much I love Adoration. I can't tell you how much I love each and every Sacrament that You gave us. You see and feel my heart. You see how much of this amazing Faith has brought me sooooo much closer to You. I wanted others to feel that. I never pressured anyone to come directly to the Catholic Church. They have to feel it inside their hearts and that's what I feel. I cry because of how beautiful the faith is and how much I love the faith because of how it brought me closer to You. My heart is for You. My love is for You. I am Your Hands, Your Ears, Your Eyes and Your Feet. I work for You. I give because You want me to give. I love because You want me to show Your love. I cry because You want me to Shed my tears. But Lord, I love the Catholic Church because I see You. I feel You. I cry for You. I am touched By You, and I can't keep something so beautiful away from people. If I kept it away my heart would hurt."
I think He would be happy with my answer :)
Have you ever wondered what your answer would be?

In need of prayer
I decided to start my blog of a little different today. If you haven't noticed I always start my blog off with "Have you ever wondered...." but today I need prayer. It's nothing serious, but feel a little down and thought that maybe if I wrote a blog about it I could feel God speaking to me. Lets see if it works.
Have you ever wondered if the power of prayer really works? I know my last post I spoke about forgiveness and not let the devil win, yet somehow today I feel as though I need prayer to help make me stronger. I feel disrespected by a couple of people. I know I shouldn't let them get to me but when it's someone that you care about it's hard not to. I know in the past when I had people praying over me I felt so lifted. Have you ever felt that way? When someone laid their hands on you and prayed for you did you feel amazing afterwards? What about if someone prayed for you but they were not there laying their hands on you, they just did in in private? Did you still feel that power? Hmmm I am curious as to what you have to say.
As I think back, I know that Jesus was disrespected TONS of times yet kept so strong. He is still disrespected and loves every person that disrespected Him. He loves them no less but more every day. How does He do that? I pray that God can mold me into a person that Loves like Him.
I'll end with a song! I love this song! Strong Enough-Matthew West
