Prayer for Financial Blessings

Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to you that you

Abundantly bless my family and me. I know that you recognize, that a

Family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and

Wife, but all who believe and trust in You.

GOD, I send up a prayer request for financial blessing for not only the

Person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded

This message on to. And that the power of joined prayer by those who

Believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything.! I thank you in

Advance for your blessings. God, deliver the person reading this right

Now from debt and debt burdens.

Release your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that you

Have given me GOD, for I know how wonderful and mighty you are and how

If we just obey you and walk in your word and have the faith of a

Mustard seed that you will pour out blessings. I thank you now Lord for

The recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come

Because I know you are not done with me yet. In Jesus name,  Amen

I came across this prayer while surfing the internet, searching for a prayer to St. Expeditus.

Not only was I able to find a prayer, I was able to search for a 9-day novena to the wonderful saint. I will publish the said novena after our novena to St. Anthony.

Thanksgiving prayer for a Favor received

Thank you, O God, for hearing my prayer and granting my request.

Thank you for all the kindness you have shown me.

Thank you, Father, for your great LOVE in giving me my life,

for your patience in preserving me despite my sinfulness,

for your protection in the past and for the opportunity to serve

and honor you in  the future

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for keeping me numberless times from sin

 and death by the toils of your life,

the sufferings of your passion, 

and by your victorious resurrection.

Thank you, Holy Spirit of God,

for bestowing so many graces upon my soul

and for having so frequently renewed your life within me.

May my life, from now on,

be a sign of my gratefulness.

Amen.

Anything is Possible

THERE are no promises that life will be easy. However, easy or hard is not the question. I'm convinced the only question we need ask is "Is it possible" The answer will always be YES because all things are possible, especially when we apply faith - if only the size of a mustard seed - and a lot of patience.




IF YOU give yourself wholeheartedly to each assignment, you can reach astonishing heights. Each task offers you something to learn which you might draw on one day. Every new thing you learn provides you with an opportunity to improve yourself in the future. you are always in training, preparing for a time yet to come.




YOU WILL receive abundant rewards for going out to your way to give more than is required of you. Make it a habit to always give just that little bit extra....If you habitually invest only minimum amounts of energy into your obligations, you end up with a life that is minimally happy. one of the best ways to advance your life is to go that extra mile.

June 6, Feast day of St. Norbert, Bishop

St. Norbert, founder of the Canons Regular of Premontre, was born at Cleves, Germany, in 1080. In his younger days his life was spent in vices and worldly pleasures. He became a subdeacon but in an unworthy spirit. At 33, an accident became the occasion of his conversion. His horse, frightened by a violent thunderstorm threw him to the ground where he lay half-dead. He asked the Lord what he wanted him to do. To which an inner voice replied: Turn the evil to do good, seek after peace and pursue it.. He retired to Xanten, where he led a life of prayer and penance in preparation for ordination. He gave all his possessions to the poor and made a public confession to Pope Gelasius II. In response, the Pope granted permission to preach the Gospel.

In 1121, Norbert opened a religious community in lonely valley of Premontre, as they were known, were officially approved by pope Honorious II in 1125. Five years later he was appointed Bishop of Magdeburg.  St. Norbert died at Magdeburg in 1134 and his relics are now resting  in the abbey of Strahov in Bohemia.

I beg of thee to approach God's throne, in company with the holy prophets and  Patriarchs, and there obtain for me my petition by your united prayers and merits. Amen.
