Sunday Snippets - December 22, 2013

It's Sunday (almost) and time to join an interesting group of Catholic bloggers at RAnn's place - This That and The Other Thing. Take a look. You will be pleased that you did.

But before you go there, let me wish you a very Merry and Blessed Christmas!

Christmas would not be complete without my wife baking cookies and storing them in our cars (which serve as her outdoor refrigerators in chilly Central New York) until she can find the time to deliver and/or mail them out to family and friends. She and I enjoy preparing the Christmas dinner for our children and grandchildren. With our children now scattered across the country, this is a tradition that may be difficult to keep in future years.

The following three posts are from my blog this week:

    Blessing on you and your family.

PRAYER TO BE PRESERVED FROM SUDDEN DEATH

MOST AMIABLE JESUS "I humbly implore Thee by Thy ignominious Scourging, The Crowning with Thorns, Thy Holy Cross, and by all Thy Goodness, not to permit me to pass out of this world without having received Thy most holy Sacraments." -Prayer of St. Vincent Ferrer

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
