This picture of Jesus walking with the little lamb...I just love it!
I dream of walking with Jesus...just like this...talking with Him...just being close to Him.
I pray this picture blesses you as it blesses me...Amen

Walking silently beside You...Your opening my heart
Listening to Your voice...Your opening my ears
Watching each step You take...Your opening my eyes
Thinking...I must be in heaven...Your opening my mind
Feeling one with You...Your carrying me in Your arms.

Saint Augustine

If you see that you have not yet suffered tribulations, consider it certain that you have not begun to be a true servant of God; for Saint Paul says plainly that all who chose to live piously in Christ, shall suffer persecutions.  Saint Augustine

Prayer to Saint Monica
Exemplary Mother of the great Augustine, you perseveringly pursued your wayward son not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven. Intercede for all mothers in our day so that they may learn to draw their children to God. Teach them how to remain close to their children, even the prodigal sons and daughters who have sadly gone astray. Amen.

Psalm 25:11-22
For the sake of your name, LORD, pardon my guilt, though it is great.
Who are those who fear the LORD? God shows them the way to choose.
They live well and prosper, and their descendants inherit the land.
The counsel of the LORD belongs to the faithful; the covenant instructs them.
My eyes are ever upon the LORD, who frees my feet from the snare.
Look upon me, have pity on me, for I am alone and afflicted.
Relieve the troubles of my heart; bring me out of my distress.
Put an end to my affliction and suffering; take away all my sins.
See how many are my enemies, see how fiercely they hate me.
Preserve my life and rescue me; do not let me be disgraced, for I trust in you.
Let honesty and virtue preserve me; I wait for you, O LORD.
Redeem Israel, God, from all its distress!

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the LORD, take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the LORD!

I long your Love Oh Lord...with all my heart, Amen.
Love, Prayerflowers
                
Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.
St. Ignatius' Prayer for Generosity

Psalm 51 3-4.8-9.12-13.14.17

Have mercy on me, God, in your goodness; in your abundant compassion blot out my offense. Wash away all my guilt; from my sin cleanse me. Still, you insist on sincerity of heart; in my inmost being teach me wisdom. Cleanse me with hyssop, that I may be pure; wash me, make me whiter than snow. A clean heart create for me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit. Do not drive me from your presence, nor take from me your holy spirit. Restore my joy in your salvation; sustain in me a willing spirit. Lord, open my lips; my mouth will proclaim your praise

O God, this day is sacred because of the martyrdom
of your apostles Peter and Paul. May your Church follow the
teachings of these two saints in every respect, for from them she received the faith in the beginning.  Through our Lord.

I posted St. Dymphna prayers here on the front page in hopes it will help
 many who have written  for help with sufferings in so many areas of their lives.

Prayer to Saint Dymphna O God, we humbly beseech You through Your servant, St Dymphna, who sealed with her blood the love she bore You, to grant relief to those who suffer from mental afflictions and nervous disorders, especially *NAME*. Saint Dymphna, helper of the mentally afflicted, pray for us! Lord God, Who has graciously chosen Saint Dymphna to be the patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders, and has caused her to be an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who invoke her intercession, grant through the prayers of this pure, youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all who suffer from these disturbances, and especially to those for whom we now pray. (Here mention your intentions or those for whom you wish to pray.)
