Welcome to miseryville…
I know how ya feel and have been there. As the saying goes, “It ain’t nothin’ nice.” So…
Today you get up and ya get movin’. Ya get yer fanny outta the house and go lookin’ for a job…even the local McD’s or something. But before all of that we need to start the day on a better note…though if ya think about it Today IS better than yesterday… Here’s your start for today and every day for the rest of your long life…no matter what comes your way…okay?
**
Morning Offering**
Dear Lord, I do not know what will happen to me today. I only know that nothing will happen that was not foreseen by You, and directed to my greater good from all eternity. I adore Your holy and unfathomable plans, and submit to them with all my heart for love of You, the Pope, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen.
You just basically consecrated your whole day (warts and all) to almighty God, so it all counts now okay?
Now Lemme introduce you to a superhero friend of mine. My patron saint who is one each bad dude when it comes to dealin’ with the devil successfully. St Michael the Archangel:
Saint Michael Prayer
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
You just asked for special help from someone who is the biggest baddest angelic warrior of them all, and fiercely loyal to Our Lord. He “don’t play” as they say, so you can rest assured that he will help you because the help you’ve asked for is clearly in accord with what God wants for you which is for you to stay clean, stay alive , and to be the very best person, Catholic, wife, friend, and all around good person that you can. Today is the first day of the rest of your whole life on the way to heaven.
Been to church lately? Time to go. Confession? Yeah that’s right… it’s all part of gettin’ “cleaned up”. When do they do confession at your parish? Don’t know? Look up their website online or call and ask. Most will do it by appointment, so there’s really no excuse. Time to get serious…
Smile! The sun is up and shining and it’s a whole new day. You are gonna be fine. Get movin’, get off this comp and get busy. You have eternal life things to do and a job to find. It’s all ready for ya…but you must get out and get it. Let’s go Sis! (You know how to reach me if you wanna talk.)
Pax vobiscum,
