Thank you St. John Bosco

Dear St. John Bosco,

Thank you for all you have done for children all over the world. I have to believe in my heart because of you, someone was inspired to build the home for children that I grew up in. I thank Jesus for placing the nuns and priest that surrounded and taught me in the home.

St. John Bosco, please pray very hard for our children today. They are up against a tremendous amount of temptation and violence, things I don't remember ever even knowing anything about until well over half my life in age.

I trust in your prayers, because of the love you showed when you were here on earth.

Thank you, precious St. Bosco, thank you...Amen

Writing in my blog – one of my New Year’s Resolutions

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to start writing…to my family, friends and myself. I use to journal a long time ago…before my accident. I would like to start again. I decided to write more often in my blog, and share my love for Jesus with you too.

Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord

Yesterday, we celebrated the Baptism of Jesus. Jesus shows us how the water cleanses us...and the Holy Spirit fills us with all that is Love and True. The Baptism of Jesus…is the end of the Christmas Season.

We are usually anxious to get all the Christmas decorations up and the clutter all put away. Every year, I get less and less anxious to put away all the reminders of Christmas…the Nativity scenes, the pretty trees…they all remind me of the strength of that we long for from Jesus.

I absolutely love the Advent Season, I always have, I love everything about the steps we take in preparing for the Birth of Jesus..."rebirth of love in our hearts". The gathering of family and friends, the heighten awareness of charitable actions, the music, I love the miracles we hear about on Christmas morning…that are retold over and over again.

You may be thinking, we can do these things without the Christmas Season, Yes we can! But we don't, not because we don't want to...but the hectic schedules of many can make it difficult. If we only could, we would see that “Love” being born every day.

We are given life savers during the year… the special feasts days...that touch our hearts, they open our hearts afresh to be "reborn with the Love of Jesus".
