THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!!2/25/03... I AM PATIENT... Sometimes we act like spoiled little brats. We ask God for something and we get mad because it doesn't come immediately. We want what we want and we want it now and we want it our way. We want to tell God when to bring it and how to bring it and what package to bring it in. This is not a good idea. God knows what is best for us. He has a divine plan for our lives. God know when to bring it, how to bring it and what package to bring it in....I am patient. I wait on the Lord. I relinquish my will and allow God to bring me my good in God's timing. God knows what the big picture is. God brings my good to me at the perfect time, in the perfect way, in the perfect package. Thanks, God. And So It IS! "Trust in the Lord and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land"... Psalms 37:34 Peace, Love, Light & Rich Blessings to You and Yours Now and Forevermore.

Novena To St.Peregrine - Patron of cancer patients Glorious wonder-worker, St. Peregrine, you answered the divine call with a ready spirit, and forsook all the comforts of a life of ease and all the empty honors of the world to dedicate yourself to God in the Order of His holy Mother. You labored manfully for the salvation of souls. In union with Jesus crucified, you endured painful sufferings with such patience as to deserve to be healed miraculously of an incurable cancer in your leg by a touch of His divine hand. Obtain for me the grace to answer every call of God and to fulfill His will in all the events of life. Enkindle in my heart a consuming zeal for the salvation of all men. Deliver me from the infirmities that afflict my body (especially.....). Obtain for me also a perfect resignation to the sufferings it may please God to send me, so that, imitating our crucified Savior and His sorrowful Mother, I may merit eternal glory in heaven. St. Peregrine, pray for me and for all who invoke your aid.

st. Jude thank you for all you have done for K and D she still needs your help. This seemed a hopeless situation, thank you st. Jude, and Our Lord.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY!!!!I RELEASE ERROR THINKING To sin is to have error in thinking or to miss the mark. Error thinking is negative thinking, thinking that buys into the appearances in the outer world. Everyone has missed the mark. You can stop the error thinking by making a conscious effort to do so. When a negative thought comes, cancel it out and replace it with a positive one. I release error thinking. I let go of any negative thoughts I have. When I do have a negative thought I cancel it out and replace it with a positive one. I stay consciously aware of my thoughts and transform them into positive ones when I find myself having an error thought. Thanks, God. And So it IS! "Therefore my discipline has caused me to discern, and for my help it has remained with me." Job20:2 Peace, Love, Light & Rich Blessing to You and Yours Now and Forevermore. ES
