Mother Mary

Though I cannot see you Mother, I feel your embrace, warm and loving, turning me towards your Son. Showing me the Way. Leading me by the hand as mothers often do. I love you so much Mother Mary. So many times I have called out for you in the night, and you were there, you are always there to lead me back to Him. O Sweet Rose! O Holy Tabernacle! O Full of Grace! 

 How grateful I am for you! How many times have you pulled me from the snares of the devil? Oh, Mother! My heart is overflowing with love for you and your Son.  Such gratitude I feel for you Mystical Rose! Queen of Heaven and Earth! Mother of the Word Incarnate! Mother of Sorrows!

 I cannot wait to re-consecrate myself to you!  My heart leaps in anticipation of the day that I can reaffirm my slavery to you and your Son! How sweet a servanthood it is, full of love and beauty!

 Oh Mother, I love you, pray for me a miserable sinner!

Only for Today

   Okay, so I've been trying to keep an open mind about my future vocation.  Not like I wasn't before, but I was really putting some effort into it this time. I know I'm still pretty young but, Mary was betrothed at 13 you know.    I asked God to show me, then it got a bit confusing, so I prayed that He might show me more clearly what His will was... Well He did. And He did it with some flare too!  It felt like He was ripping a band-aid off. *Sigh*  Its funny though, when I think about it. I was telling a good friend in the car the other day, I meet a guy and its like, "Well, hello there!" And a few weeks later, "Well, goodbye then."    I don't know what He wants for my future, I can only live for right now.    And so I shall. I'll persevere, hey its not like I was planning on dating before college anyways.  I wanted to wait until the maturity level on both ends was a little higher. Plus, none of the guys in my school (wel...

Musings at Midnight...sort of

Well, its 4 am on a Monday morning.  Doesn't look like I'll be going to sleep any time soon, so I decided to write...blog...whatever you want to call it.  Anyways, I've been thinking a lot lately about my future, about discernment.  Its really strange how one day you can know exactly what you wanna do, where you wanna go, what/who you wanna be...and the next day you can't even decide what color shirt to wear.  I used to know, I mean like know know that I was going to be a religious. I was going to finish school, enter with an active/contemplative convent, and live happily ever after. Then, one heartfelt sincere prayer later, I don't know anymore.  I'll be frank, I feel like God is giving me mixed signals. I mean don't get me wrong, its not like my memory is gone or anything, but its weird surrendering. Like, really letting go of what may or may not be.  Especially when society today has to know every detail of everything that will happen in your life ever....

My Choice

Heavenly Father, I ask you to help me persevere in faith throughout the dark times in life and throughout the times when I feel alone. Please give me the strength and courage to go on.  Holy Mary, Mother of Confidence pray for me. Saint Joan of Ark pray for me. Amen. Lately, I've been struggling with something.  A choice I have made.  I've decided that I would not curse, or get into crude conversation topics at school. I've decided to be respectful towards others. And sometimes it seems as if I am the only one in the entire school who has made that decision.  What I see every day, seven and a half hours per day is just the opposite of what I've promised to do.  People call people after animals or the sons of animals. Students have no respect for the teachers, they have no respect for one another. Some don't have much of a sense of integrity. I could go on and on.  No one said this road would be the easy one. In fact its the hardest. It would be so easy ...
