A Dog At The Master's Door

What a shame that so few of us really appreciate the Gift of having our loving Lord ever in our midst.

Wow! This shows how human Venerable Sheen was. Who among us has not felt anything at times when making a holy hour? But just showing up and waiting on the Lord shows a true relationship with him. I love my dog and all the dogs I've had. They show us what true devotion is. I will happily be the Lord's dog.

Guilty as well Barb! As imperfect as our time with Him may be, our faithfulness to such visits is a source of comfort and reparation to our loving Lord who is so frequently abandoned and ignored. Thank God he allows us dogs to come..

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."

Prayer for Our Priests

"O dear Jesus, look down with love on your priests. Fill them with burning zeal for the conversion of sinners; keep unstained their anointed hands which daily touch Your Immaculate Body; keep unsullied their lips purpled with Your Precious Blood; keep pure and unearthly a heart sealed with the sublime mark of Your glorious Priesthood. Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may those to whom they have ministered on earth, be one day their joy and consolation in Heaven. Amen. (From Dominican Prayer Book)
