There are a few prayer requests this week (burgundy font), which I’ve copied and pasted exactly as they were written. If I’ve missed anyone please don’t hesitate to write to me and let me know and I’ll be sure to include your request in next week’s post. If you’ve missed the first four posts on this topic please refer back to this post which will link you back to the previous ones. Thank you for your prayers and for sharing your time.

August is the Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and yesterday, August 6th, was not only the Transfiguration of the Lord, but also the first Saturday of this month in which I started my First Saturday Devotion.
What is First Saturday Devotion?
First Saturday Devotion is a devotion of reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary which Our Lady gave to Lucia, one of the three children of Fatima, on December 10, 1925, when she and the Child Jesus appeared to her. According to Lucia, the Child Jesus said:
“Have compassion on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce her at every moment, without there being anyone to make an act of reparation in order to take them away.”
Lucia said that Mary spoke next, saying:
“Look, my daughter, at my heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. … [Read More...]
I have a Saint Jude statue that I’d purchased a couple of years ago on the EWTN site in their Religious Catalogue section. I was going to take a picture of it and include it in this post but since it’s been raining all day and really quite dark, I wasn’t confident that the picture would come out okay and so I figured I’d just use another image instead.
There is a small drawer at the foot of the statue which holds a tiny piece of paper with the prayer to Saint Jude written on it. I keep the statue on my dresser and the other day I noticed that the drawer was open a crack. It prompted me to keep my promise to Saint Jude from months and months ago that I would dedicate a blog post to him at some point. Better late than never! You see, I’d been praying the Saint Jude Novena at that time and … [Read More...]
A month ago I wrote a post called Spiritual Warfare Prayers and I promised that I’d follow-up with another. If you haven’t already read my last post on this topic I suggest that you do so, or this one may not make any sense and/or may be a bit confusing. Also, in that post you will find a link to a book on Amazon called Spiritual Warfare Prayers
that the priest and his assistant had given me while they were at my home. Again, please refer back to the previous post so that this will all be clear to you.
Those of you who have been following my blog from the beginning have most likely already read what I’m about to say, and maybe even more than once. I realize that to you, I will be repeating myself here. But for those of you who are just stopping by for a quick visit and/or who are new subscribers of my … [Read More...]
I’ve been hanging onto a few emails I received this month that were either addressed to Father Corapi or addressed to me concerning Father Corapi, and I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to post them. I figured I would just include them in a separate post, as they really wouldn’t blend well with anything else I’ve written lately or am planning to write. So, I’ve included them in this post and am hopeful that Father Corapi (or John Corapi) will see them and read them.
One of those emails is from a person named Paul Koleske who has a website called paulkoleske.com. Paul gave me permission to post his website along with his email to Father Corapi. His email reads:
Fr. Corapi:
Just wanted to say that my thoughts and prayers are with you. You are one of my favorite speakers and I believe in you 100%!
I too had a miscarriage of justice happen to me 6

This is the seventh in a series of posts titled True Devotion to Mary which I started in a hopeful effort to promote the prophetic message of Saint Louis De Montfort in his book titled True Devotion to Mary. Please refer back to this post which will link you back to the previous ones.
Also, please note that everything written in burgundy font is quoted directly from Saint Louis De Montfort’s book and my personal remarks and insights are in black font.
ARTICLE THREE: Providential Function of Mary in the Latter Times
II. Exercise of This Function
1. In the struggle against Satan.
51. It is principally of these last and cruel persecutions of the devil, which shall go on increasing daily till the reign of Antichrist, that we ought to understand that first and celebrated prediction and curse of God pronounced in the terrestrial paradise against the serpent. It is to our purpose to explain this here for … [Read More...]
Well, I had attempted (for about 3 hours last night) to post something that would give everyone a positive boost. It was a funny YouTube video of a 7.5 minute segment of Father James Martin talking about the need for laughter and humor along our journey of faith. There was something wrong with the code of the video which caused the posting of it to malfunction. If you would like to see Father Martin’s talk in its entirety, please click here.
In the meantime, I’m working on a new post which should be up later today…… [Read More...]
Lately I’d been wanting to write something about the moral decline of America, and then the other day a friend of mine directed me to an article from the New York Post that was written on July 1, 2011 by Bill O’Reilly. I tried to access the article online and link to it, but for some reason (maybe because it’s a few weeks old now) I am not able to find it. Fortunately, my friend had mailed me a hard copy of the article and so I am able to copy it into this post, word for word.
Moral Decline of America in Bill O’Reilly’s Words
ONE NATION, UNDER DECLINE
by Bill O’Reilly
Over the July 4 weekend, many Americans take some time out to think about their country. This year, those thoughts might not be as festive as in the past because the United States is in decline.
A new Associated Press poll says that 80 percent of … [Read More...]
Last week I wrote a post called Garabandal Warning and in that post I had indicated that I’d continue with a Part Two at some future point. If you haven’t already read last week’s post please do so before you proceed to this one which is Part Two.
I received a comment on Garabandal Warning from a person named Deacon John; this is the comment:
Thanks for posting this blog about Garabandal. Asa long-time supporter of the Events I appreciate anyone proclaiming the reality and Message that Our Lady has given to the world. Check out my blog at http://whatisgarabandal.blogspot.com/ for updates and videos.

We have quite a few prayer requests this week and I’m including the readers’ requests first (burgundy font), copied and pasted exactly as they were written. I’ve tried to keep the requests in the order in which they were submitted, or close to it. Also, if I’ve missed anyone please don’t hesitate to write to me and let me know and I’ll be sure to include your request in next week’s post. If you’ve missed the first three posts on this topic please refer back to this post which will link you back to the previous ones. Thank you for your prayers and for sharing your time.
Prayer Request from Nanette:
Lord, please, bring someone to us who will love our home and purchase it. This is important to me/us. We need to be closer to our elderly parents (to tend to them, to spend time with them) and to be near our only child. Intercede Our Lady and St. … [Read More...]

Hello, my name is Margo. When I was 23 years old and working as a part-time nanny in New York City I had the pleasure of caring for a little 5-year-old boy named Alexander. One day I had been overcome with sadness and in a weak moment, I found myself confiding to this little boy about a friend I couldn't find because he was lost. Alexander, quickly responded without missing a beat, “Follow a trail!” [
