Contemplative Prayer-- "This tradition was summed up by St. Gregory the Great at the end of the sixth century. He described contemplation as the knowledge of God that is impregnated with love. For Gregory, contemplation was both the fruit of reflecting on the word of God in Scripture and a precious gift of God. He called it "resting in God." In this "resting" the mind and heart are not so much seeking God as beginning to experience, "to taste," what they have been seeking."
"Contemplative prayer is a process of interior transformation, a conversation initiated by God and leading, if we consent, to divine union. One's way of seeing reality changes in this process. A restructuring of consciousness takes place which empowers one to perceive, relate and respond with increasing sensitivity to the divine presence in, through, and beyond everything that exists.".. -Open Mind Open Heart The Contemplative Dimension of the Gospel, by Father Thomas Keating....
THE INTERIOR LIFE... Meditation... THE kingdom of God is within you," says the Lord.1 Turn, then, to God with all your heart. Forsake this wretched world and your soul shall find rest. Learn to despise external things, to devote yourself to those that are within, and you will see the kingdom of God come unto you, that kingdom which is peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, gifts not given to the impious. Christ will come to you offering His consolation, if you prepare a fit dwelling for Him in your heart, whose beauty and glory, wherein He takes delight, are all from within. His visits with the inward man are frequent, His communion sweet and full of consolation, His peace great, and His intimacy wonderful indeed. Therefore, faithful soul, prepare your heart for this Bridegroom that He may come and dwell within you; He Himself says: "If any one love Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and will make Our abode with him." Give place, then, to Christ, but deny entrance to all others, for when you have Christ you are rich and He is sufficient for you. He will provide for you. He will supply your every want, so that you need not trust in frail, changeable men. Christ remains forever, standing firmly with us to the end. Do not place much confidence in weak and mortal man, helpful and friendly though he be; and do not grieve too much if he sometimes opposes and contradicts you. Those who are with us today may be against us tomorrow, and vice versa, for men change with the wind. Place all your trust in God; let Him be your fear and your love. He will answer for you; He will do what is best for you. You have here no lasting home. You are a stranger and a pilgrim wherever you may be, and you shall have no rest until you are wholly united with Christ... -Thomas a Kempis ("The Imitation of Christ", Bk.2,Chpt.1)
Most Holy Spirit, Beloved of my soul, I adore You. Enlighten me, guide me, comfort me, console me. I promise to submit myself to all You desire of me, and permit all You wish to happen to me. Give me Your orders, tell me what to do. Most Holy Spirit, bring Peace to the world. Amen.

Prayer for Priests... O my Jesus, I beg You on behalf of the whole Church: Grant it love and the light of Your Spirit and give power to the words of priests so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord. Lord, give us holy priests; You Yourself maintain them in holiness. O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares which are continually being set for the souls of priests. May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for You can do all things. I ask You for a special blessing and for light, O Jesus, for the priests before whom I will make my confessions throughout my lifetime. Amen. -Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska

Amen. Thank You Saint Michael!
PRAYER FOR GRACE... 1. O Lord my God, who created me in Your own image and likeness, grant me this great grace, so necessary for my salvation, so that I may overcome my fallen nature which drags me down to sin and the loss of my soul. I see in my fallen nature the law of sin opposing the law of my mind (Ro 7:23), leading me captive to sensuality. Without the assistance of your holy grace, infused copiously into my heart (Eph 1:7), I cannot resist these passions. 2. I need a great abundance of your grace to overcome my fallen nature, which has an inclination toward evil even from my youth (Gn 8:21). The sin of Adam, the first man, has tainted and weakened it; and so the consequences of his sin have come upon the whole human race. Nature itself, which You created good and upright, has become a symbol of sin and corruption, for when left to itself it is too easily drawn toward evil and base desires. Its little remaining strength is like a small spark buried under ashes. This is our natural reason, which, though surrounded by a thick mist, can still discern between good and evil, truth and falsehood. Yet it cannot perform everything it knows to be good, nor does it currently enjoy either the full light of truth or its former pure affections. 3. So, O Lord my God, within my soul I delight in Your law (Ro 7:22), and know that Your command is good, righteous and holy (vs 12), since it reproves all evil and teaches us to shun sin. Yet in my flesh I serve the law of sin (vs 25). obeying sensuality rather than reason. I will to do good, but am too weak to accomplish it (Ro 7:18). I make good resolutions but, because I lack grace to help in my weakness, the slightest resistance causes discouragement and failure. I know the way of perfection and see clearly what I should do, but my own corruption weighs down on me, so that I do not rise to greater perfection. 4. O Lord, how absolutely necessary Your grace is for me, both to begin a good work and to persevere until I accomplish it. Without grace I can do nothing (Jn 15:5), but I can do all things in You, when Your grace strengthens me (Ph 4:13). O true and heavenly Grace, without you we cannot have merits of our own or value the gifts of nature. No art or beauty, no strength or riches, no genius or eloquence, are of any worth to you, O Lord, unless accompanied by Your grace. The gifts of nature are common to all people, both good and bad, but grace or divine love is given only to the elect, and those adorned with it are esteemed worthy of eternal life.) This grace is so excellent that neither the gift of prophecy, nor the working of miracles, nor even the most sublime speculation, is worth anything without it. Even faith, hope, and all the other virtues are unacceptable to You without charity and grace (I Co 13:1-3). 5. O most blessed Grace, that makes the poor in spirit rich in virtues, and makes the wealthy humble of heart! Come, descend upon me, fill me with your comfort, lest my soul faint from weariness and dryness of mind. I beseech You, O Lord, that I may find grace in your sight (Gn 18:3), for your grace is sufficient for me (2 Co 12:9) even if I never obtain anything which my nature desires. If I am tempted and tried I will fear no evil as long as Your grace is with me. Your grace is my strength, my counsel and my help. She is more powerful than all my enemies and wiser than all the wise. She is the mistress of truth, the teacher of discipline: the light of the heart, the comforter in affliction. She banishes sorrow, expels fears, nurses devotion, produces tears of repentance. What am I without her but a piece of dry timber or a withered stump, fit for nothing but to be cast into the fire (Jn 15:6). Grant therefore, O Lord, that Your grace will always go before me and follow me, keeping me ever intent upon good works, through Jesus Christ Your Son. Amen. -By Thomas a Kempis. (Imitation of Christ, Book II, Chapter 55)
I will remember you all in my prayers.For comfort to the lady , who lost her son, for Lia, For ejw, for M, m, for angela, for those in emaotional pain, spiritual pain, financial problems and for peace.For the one with an ailing dog and the one who is about to get evicted.For the one living in the hotel with her child.i can't name you all but you will be in my prayers.
Who except God can give you peace? Has the world ever been able to satisfy the heart? Saint Gerard Majella
There is one God, the Father of the living Word, who is His subsistent Wisdom and Power and Eternal Image: perfect Begetter of the perfect Begotten, Father of the only-begotten Son. * There is one Lord, Only of the Only, God of God, Image and Likeness of Deity, Efficient Word, Wisdom comprehensive of the constitution of all things, and Power formative of the whole creation, true Son of true Father, Invisible of Invisible, and Incorruptible of Incorruptible, and Immortal of Immortal and Eternal of Eternal. * And there is One Holy Spirit, having His subsistence from God, and being made manifest by the Son, to wit to men: Image of the Son, Perfect Image of the Perfect; Life, the Cause of the living; Holy Fount; Sanctity, the Supplier, or Leader, of Sanctification; in whom is manifested God the Father, who is above all and in all, and God the Son, who is through all. * There is a perfect Trinity, in glory and eternity and sovereignty, neither divided nor estranged. Wherefore there is nothing either created or in servitude in the Trinity; nor anything superinduced, as if at some former period it was non-existent, and at some later period it was introduced. And thus neither was the Son ever wanting to the Father, nor the Spirit to the Son; but without variation and without change, the same Trinity abideth ever. -a declaration of faith by Saint Gregory
Jesus Christ, Lord of all things! You see my heart, you know my desires. Possess all that I am - you alone. I am your sheep; make me worthy to overcome the devil. -Saint Agatha

Good Night To Our Blessed Mother ------------ Night is falling dear Mother, the long day is o'er! And before thy loved image I am kneeling once more To thank thee for keeping me safe through the day To ask thee this night to keep evil away. Many times have I fallen today, Mother Dear, Many graces neglected, since last I knelt here; Wilt thou not in pity, my own Mother mild, Ask Jesus to pardon the sins of thy child? I am going to rest, for the day's work is done, Its hours and its moments have passed one by one; And the God who will judge me has noted them all, He has numbered each grace, He has counted each fall. In His book they are written against the last day, O Mother, ask Jesus to wash them away; For one drop of His blood which for sinners was spilt, Is sufficient to cleanse the whole world of its guilt. And if ere the dawn I should draw my last breath And the sleep that I take be the long sleep of death, Be near me, dear Mother, for dear Jesus' sake When my soul on Eternity's shore shall awake.
I need prayers to be said for my sister N she is nine months pregnant and her husband J may not be here for the birth of there son.

I will continue to pray because I know you would not abandon her!!! Amen M
'O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.' -Psalm 69:2
PEACE PRAYER.... Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life. AMEN. -ST. FRANCIS of ASSISI
Today as I come to thee on bended knee, O Lord I ask not for fame, or fortune, for love from another, or blessings from thee, I cast my worldly wants aside and ask O Lord; How, may I be of service to thee? ---" I am the handmaid of the Lord," said Mary.

Prayer to Saint Raphael O Raphael, lead us toward those we are waiting for, those who are waiting for us: Raphael, Angel of happy meeting, lead us by the hand toward those we are looking for. May all our movements be guided by your Light and transfigured with your joy.
