With so many important prayer requests,
… this one comes after the children and those who are lost, okay?

But, my husband (who is an ex-Catholic and sometimes quite angry at the Church) is going with me, and his brother and sister-in-law and five kids to France, Italy, Croatia and Bosnia, ending up in Holland.

I pray for peace, reconciliation with our Lord and our Lady, and peace among our family as we travel by van together. I believe we will have an amazing journey, but I trust that prayers will always be necessary. I pray for Gary’s conversion. Believe me, if this man converts, he will be a force to reckon with!

Trust this, that whenever I have the opportunity for some quiet, and some chapel time, the intentions of this forum will by on my lips, and in my heart, until my return. I may not know what the intentions are, BUT GOD DOES and I trust that he will hear and answer me.

Blessings to everyone who visits CAF, and may our Lord keep them safe, happy, and at peace until I visit again. (I may have some computer time during my journey, but I’m not making it a priority 🙂

Have a safe and happy trip, and know that the forum will be praying for your intentions.

Take LOTS of pictures! 😃
 
Praying for a blessed trip and lots of conversion graces! Please ask Our Lady while you are there to help me finish healing from my miscarriage–physically and spiritually. Thank you!
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
Blessings to you my sister, and I will pray the Lord Jesus Christ will work in the heart of your husband. Enjoy your trip, enjoy your family, and my prayer for you, asking Our Lady’s intercession~
Our Lady of the Highway, protect my sister on her journey, for all your ways are beautiful and all your paths are peace.
Love+Prayers,
Isabella

Praying for a safe, peaceful trip and Gary’s conversion.

P.S. I love the signature of “Pray, hope and don’t worry”. One of my new favorite quotes. 🙂
 
Prayer for Safe Travel:

O God, You called Abraham Your servant out of Ur and kept him safe and sound in all his wanderings. If it is Your will, protect Your servants. Be for us a support when setting out, friendship along the way, a little shade from the sun, a mantle against cold and rain, a crutch on slippery paths, and a haven in shipwreck. Bear us up in fatigue, and defend us under attack. Under Your protection, let us fulfill the purpose for our trip and return safe and sound to our home. Amen.

St. Christopher, pray for us and for all those on pilgrimage. Amen.
 
Lord, please grant a blessed trip to this family and convert Gary’s heart. May this vacation bring this family to a greater appreciation of you and your gifts; may it move Gary to want to practice his faith. May Gary be inspired to pray and want to read the Scriptures. Bless this family and keep them safe during their travels. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
Haily Mary Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus
Holy Mary Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
AMEN

Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
AMEN

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the
wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the divine power of God,
cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world,
seeking the ruin of souls.
AMEN

In the name of The Father, and The Son and The Holy Spirit, AMEN

Thank you so much for your prayers.

This is a beautiful city, (Paris) and as a family we’ve seen many exciting sites, but we’ve also been blessed to have quiet times for prayer. My ten year-old nephew, and 12 year old niece and I prayed a rosary while the rest of the family were getting tickets to go up the Eifell tower. I prayed for Kristiful’s while at the church of the Miraculous Medal, you were surely in my prayers in that beautiful church, where our Lady is so resplendent.

At the Church of the Notre Dame, where the blessed sacrament is exposed, I prayed for the intentions of all here at this forum. There were two other very prayerful people there in the chapel, and it was beautiful, united in spirit, together with Jesus in that very sacred space.

Notre Dame reminds me quite a bit of St. Patrick’s in NYC, with side altars, and such. But I have to say, I like the stained glass in St. P’s better. I have a special fondness for that church.

We also visisted the church where St. Vincent de Paul is visible in his inncoruptible self. A much quieter space with less crowds. I could have stayed there all day.

Blessings to all of you, as we make our way to Assisi tomorrow. As promised, you will be in my prayers. It is my hope that I can find a nice little field, to catch up on a novena or two, in the Franciscan fashion. 🙂
 
Your prayers, and the prayers of all the people on Catholic Answers were on my heart, as I stepped into the Sanctuary of the Blessed Sacrament of St. Peter’s, a place of great peace, in the midst of all the noise.

In Assisi I had some Masses said for some religious, and a friend entering seminary this fall. I did see fields, but did not pray in one, as I expected to. I found that the crypt of St. Francis was perfect.

As I continue to journey, I continue to pray for you all. Internet access is very uneven. Rome is practically non-existent for connections, but that’s okay. It’s kind of a blessing not to see a phone in every ear, or texting here and there, or phones going off at Mass.

Continued blessings to you all.
 
What a walk.

I walked into St. Peter’s in Rome at 7am almost every morning, when the beautiful summer light broke through the entrance windows, lighting our way to the altar. I was able to attend Mass almost every day in Rome, once having Mass in the Tomb of the Popes and St. Andrew. And to be seated in front of the Blessed Sacrament in St. Peters

I was able to pray at the Church of the Miraculous Medal, St. Vincent de Paul, the Tomb of St. Francis, the Tomb of St. Clare, a tiny church in Zagreb, St. James in Medjugorje, and many other little sacred spots. I prayed for the intentions of the people in this forum (prayer intentions) many times.

It was a beautiful time of peace, and blessings. But when I walked into my humble church in Surrey, in one of the poorest sections of our area, and knelt down, Jesus was present. Just as present as He was in St. Peters. Just as present as He was when I placed my hand on the Church that St. Francis built. Just as present in every heart looking for God in Bosnia, Croatia and every country I was in.

It’s funny how every pilgrimage leads you to the same conclusion. The same conclusion that Dorothy said when she clicked those red shoes.

…There’s no place like home… there’s no place like home … there’s no place like home.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.

Amen.
