Thanksgiving Prayer

A 4-year-old boy was asked to pray before Thanksgiving dinner. The family members bowed their heads in expectation. He began his prayer, thanking the Lord for all his friends, naming them one by one. Then he thanked the Lord for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all his aunts and uncles.

Then he began to thank the Lord for the food. He gave thanks for the turkey, the dressing, the fruit salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, the cakes, even the Cool Whip.
Then he paused, and everyone waited -- and waited.

After a long silence, the young fellow looked up at his mother and asked, "If I thank the Lord for the broccoli, won't he know that I'm lying?"

A prayer of the husband:

Let us begin by reading this :
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

"Dear Joseph, chaste spouse of Mary and heir
to the royal line of David, Patron of the Universal
Church, I address you today under your title of
Terror of Demons. One look from your calm gaze
strikes fear into any evil with designs upon my
life and my family. In order to imitate you in your
protection and provision for Mary and Jesus, I
ask you to adopt me, too, as you adopted Jesus.
Yes, bring me under your roof and share with me
your kingly confidence. See that my heart is good,
despite my sins, as your heart is good. In all things,
and in every thing, and in everything beyond every
thing, and as a man before another man, I ask for
your friendship and guidance for my intention.
Ask the Holy Trinity to grant my miracle, using
whatever supernatural and human means are
required. Make my virtue and holiness so like
yours that when women see me, they see you.
Let women feel you, hear you, and pray with you
when they feel, hear, and pray with me. Teach me,
as you taught Jesus, to learn that I must die to
every impurity, every selfish desire, and every
act of self-indulgence that harms the women
in my life. Let me die, and let Joseph live! Let
your powerful Heart of David triumph in my
life as husband and father beyond my wildest
dreams. Not only do I say Yes with you, I so so
with the full confidence of a man who has
been baptized into your holy family. Do not
delay. Now is the time for action. You, Joseph,
surely taught your son to pray the Our Father,
so with you, I pray to the Almighty Father: THY
will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen."

A prayer of a wife…...

Let us begin by reading this... in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...


"O Sweet Lady Saint Mary, you taught us how
to be a perfect woman and gave a broken world
the miracle of Jesus not by grasping for worldly
success, but instead, by offering your unconditional
"Yes" to Saint Gabriel and trusting in God's plan,
even though you did not foresee the suffering this
would bring you at the Crucifixion, or understand
how it could be. You did not even know that Joseph
was being prepared to be your husband. Your fiat
changed the world, right up to this very moment,
as I sit at my computer screen, or read this prayer
on a printed page. Woman to woman, I ask for your
Divine Spouse, the Holy Spirit, to plant the seed of
trust in my heart, despite all my fears of being hurt
and exposing myself to the cruelties or ignorance
of imperfect men. You completely trusted an imperfect
man, a husband born to Original Sin, Saint Joseph,
and today I ask you to go to Joseph, and ask him
to bring my intention, my miracle, before your
Son, and to begin granting it on this perfect day.
With you, with trembling heart, I echo throughout
time and eternity your perfect fiat: Let it be done
unto me according to thy word. Amen

God won't ask...

I think this is really one of the best things I have read. God won't ask what kind of car you drove, but He'll ask how many peopleyou drove who didn't have transportation. God won't ask the square footage of your house, but He'll ask how manypeople you welcomed into your home. God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, but He'll ask howmany you helped to clothe. God won't ask what your highest salary was, but He'll ask if youcompromised your character to obtain it. God won't ask what your job title was, but He'll ask if you performed yourjob to the best of our ability. God won't ask how many friends you had, but He'll ask how many people towhom you were a friend. God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, but He'll ask how youtreated your neighbors. God won't ask about the color of your skin, but He'll ask about the content of your character. God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation, but He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.

God won't ask how many people you can share this to, but He'll learn if you were ashamed to share it on to your friends.



This I say to you, for even you only have faith as big as a grain of mustard seed, you can move mountains; and nothing will be impossible to you. Mathew 17:20

Appreciate a Friend

One day a father of a very wealthy family took
his son on a trip to the country with the firm
purpose of showing his son how poor people
live. They spent a couple of days and nights
on the farm of what would be considered a
very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father
asked his son, "How was the trip?"
" It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the
father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what did you learn from
the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have
one dog, and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle
of our garden, and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden,
and they have the stars at night. Our
patio reaches to the front yard, and they
have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on,
and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve
others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect
us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for
showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?
Makes you wonder what would happen if
we all gave thanks for everything we
have instead of worrying about what
we don't have.

Appreciate every single thing you have,
especially your friends!

"Life is too short and friends are
too few."
