Mornings with Mary: Faith

Dearest Mother Mary,
I desire faith,
faith as deep as the one
my kitty Jax has in me.
As neatly tied up
and ever available
as I picture yours was
when the angel Gabriel
announced your role
in the birth of Our Lord.
Help me to have the vision
of the path that leads
to your Son
with clarity and steadfast faith.
Amen

Prayer to God: Trust

A Christmas gift from two granddaughters

 is aiding me on my Lenten path this year.  

They had checked my wish list on Amazon.com 

and saw that my number one wish 

was to have a year's subscription

to the Magnificat magazine 

published by St. Anthony Messenger Press.

Having an interest in the lives of saints,

I ordered Lent with the Saints: Daily Reflections

by Greg Friedman, O.F.M.

Today's reading and suggestion...

(Reflect, then write a petition 

for some special need.)

led to my composing a prayer.

Lord, I ask that my trust in you
grow and bloom
as does the cactus in the desert.
My thirst for faith in you
to be quenched alone
by your Word. 

ABC Wednesday: Faith

                 

                                                      My newest blog                                

                                                     began with hopes 

                                              of building my own faith           

                                                and spreading the Word                     

in an unassuming way 

                                                with still some hesitancy.

                                                      I have followed 
                                           some faith-filled, spiritual blogs 

                                         with regularity since December.                                                          

                                      I began to feel something stirring up,

                                         a heart-filled and burning desire

                                                  to pursue this mission

                                                       with those on 

                                                              the Faithful Bloggers site.

                                             Wish me Bon Voyage!
