12 Days of Mary: Gospel of Life Prayer Card

linking to others devoted to Mary here

Mary, Mother dear,
looks upon us with sadness,
seeks our repentance.

prayer on the back of the holy card:

Gospel of Life Prayer
O Mary,bright dawn of the new world,
Mother of the living,
to you do we entrust the cause of life:
Look down, O Mother,
Upon the vast numbers
of babies not allowed to be born,
of the poor whose lives are made difficult,


of men and women who are victims of brutal violence,
of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference 
or out of misguided mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your Son
may proclaim the Gospel of life
with honesty and love
to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace
to accept that Gospel
as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude
throughout their lives
and the courage to bear witness to it
resolutely, in order to build,
together with all people of good will,
the civilization of truth and love,
to the praise and glory of God,
the Creator and lover of life.
Joannes Paulus II
(John Paul II)

Amen Nonnie. Such profound words of Pope John Paul the Great. You know he was very devout to Our Lady of Guadalupe - Queen of the Americas.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
