About the ICare Ministry...

One day, as I was just sitting alone, with thoughts of Our Lord engulfing my soul...I started thinking of all His little children...and that was everyone in the world. I started thinking about those who are having such difficult times...falling under the weight of heavy crosses...and I thought..well...I CARE, Dear Lord, for your people. I created this ministry so that I could always be there if any of God's people ever needed a friend...when someone is on the ground, in distress, and feeling all alone. The ICare Ministry sends out an email message of hope for anyone wishing to receive it. In these mailings, you will find spiritual writings, prayer requests, Bible verses....but most of all, HOPE. If you are interested in receiving this mailing, click on the email button below. If you have come across something that you have found especially helpful in your walk, then please send that, also...so that others may be similarly blessed. Dear friends in Christ, I am calling on every one of you to fight evil with love. The evil has to stop somewhere...why not with us? We must start "loving until it hurts" ( Mother Teresa). We must conjure up every ounce of loving strength we have in us to fight the "war of evil" that prevails among us. I beg all of you, reach out to someone NOW. Adopt the "Tough Love" programs throughout our country. Get tough on criminals, but LOVE. Give strict guidance to our children, but do it with love.Take hold of our senior citizens, don't let them rot away in convalescent homes. Stop wasting your precious time fighting! We need each other now! Go to counseling if you have to. Start going to church. Give your money, your time, your HEART to those less fortunate. Most of all, love until it hurts a little! This page is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Write to me any time..."I CARE ABOUT YOU", as He allows. Thanks be to God. AMEN. In Christ's love.....Suzin

Hail Holy Queen, by: Suzin

"Hail, Holy Queen": this is how we call out to our special Mother. We urgently ask for her attention, as we beg for favors. We who are weak souls, who are lost and who hunger to be found. We who are nothing, though, are loved by our dear loving Lord, our Mother, the saints, and all the angels. Knowing of this love from the other world sustains us on our long journey as we pick up our cross and follow Jesus, and we receive many graces as God wills. The Holy Spirit bestows upon us these graces which give us the strength to whisper "yes" to our God. So as to do His will as we try our best to listen to what it is, we must do for Him, in our life.

"Mother of mercy" : Mary is the Mother of Mercy (Jesus)- She prays for all her children in this world, those that have left the world, and those that will come into this world. She prays in a compassionate way for us who sin. She realizes how unfortunate we are, to be of original sin. She understands the weakness and fragility that we humans possess. She is our Mercy Queen. We fall to our kneesand rejoice to God because of this woman's example: an example of a woman who said to God, "Let Thy will be done in me."

"Our life, our sweetness, and our hope" : Yes, she, Blessed Mother, is our life and stays in our life. She is a sweet song to our ears. She prays to our God, as she intercedes for us and asks for hope (Jesus) to be planted so tenderly into the depths of our lonely souls. We yearn for the gifts of Faith, Hope, and Charity, as we slowly crawl towards Truth; and Mary never stops influencing our lives. With God so perfect in her heart, she prays for the protection for us from all the dangers that surround and attack us.

"To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve" : Yes, in our human nature, because of the sin of Adam and Eve, we have abused the very gift of free will that God gave us. We, in human defectiveness, take what is God's as our own. Though we must try so hard to give our will back to God and ask for "God's will". The pain that we suffer holding on to our will makes us fall to the ground in tears of need for God, and we become such suffering souls. We must open our hearts to God, who will wipe every last tear from our poor lost eyes.

"To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears" : Oh, Mother Mary, we offer our pain to you to give to God, through Jesus, your Son, so that He will hear our cries and have mercy on us. Then the Holy Spirit will send many graces of help to us. The world is into itself, and those graces from God are needed to see how much God loves us, which will bring tears of JOY to our souls.

"Turn then most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us, and after our exile, show unto us the fruit of your womb" : Yes, God's promise to us. A savior to lead us out of sin, if we pick up our crosses and follow Him out of this long dark tunnel. He is our light, which leads the way, our hope to find our way out and the example needed to learn to Love as we are Loved by God. Yes, the One You carried inside your pure womb. Our gift of everlasting promises, "Jesus".

"Oh clement...ohhhhh loving...ohhh sweet Virgin Mary"

Amen...Amen...Amen...
