Ten years of Tears 9-11 Anniversary



This week has been a very somber week for so many with the anniversary of 9/11 upon us. This past week has also been difficult as many family and friends have had loved ones go home to be with the Lord in Heaven.
I came across a  song called rain and it reminded me of all the tears shed over the past 10 years. What beauty and compassion we all share as humans. No matter our race, age or status we all care deeply and that only comes from God giving us such deep Hearts that feel pain when we see another suffering. Through all the sadness I feel a sense of beauty in the bond that we as humans have for one another.

Watching the television or hearing the media events can bring out so many different emotions. Let us come together and offer prayers for all of the lives that were taken and for those who have been left broken hearted. May we give thanks as well to God for each life that was spared in this tragic event.   May we honor those who were heros, may we never forget that we are so very lucky to live in the Land of the free and the home of the Brave. Let us take care of each other, let us love this earth and never forget each day is a gift.



 



Tonight I say may God wipe your 
tears, strengthen you from your fears, grant you love and may you know that God is with you through it all.  
May you always Feel his love and presence.      deb

Good Night Prayer to the Blessed Mother Mary



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Night is falling dear Mother, long day is o'er;
Before thy image I am kneeling once more 
To thank thee for keeping me safe this day, 
To ask thee this night to keep evil away. 
Many times have I fallen 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 sleep now, day's work is done; 
Its hours and its moments have passed one by one. 
God Who will judge me, has counted them all; 
He has numbered each grace, He has counted each fall; 

In His book they are written against the last day. 
Oh! Mother Ask Jesus to wash them away.
For one drop of His Blood for sinners was spilt, 
Is sufficient to cleanse the world of its guilt. 

And if er' the dawn I should draw my last breath; 
The sleep I take be the long sleep of death;
Be near me Mother for dear Jesus' sake. 
When at eternity shore my soul shall awake.

Amen. 

“Weeping may endure for a night,

but joy cometh in the morning. ”

(Psalms 30:5)
