...and other prayerful things...
Throughout my life, I have prayed many prayers,
(memorized as well as impromptu).
Recently, I have gone through a life-changing experience
which has caused me to remember the power of prayer
and especially the Novenas.
Although I may have specific ideas as to what my request is,
I try to request above all else,for the strength and wisdom to deal with the situation
in a Christ-like manner.
This page is my publication of gratitude
for answers to my prayers and Novenas.
All prayers are answered,
sometimes not the way we envisioned them; but this is where trust and faith come in...
My Heavenly Father knows every need of mine and if a prayer seems to go unanswered,
it just might be that the solution I had planned was not, in fact, best for me.
If you have any testimonies
or would like to publish a card of thanks for prayers answered, I would be glad
to add it to my page; just send me an e-mail.
As Jesus was about to ascend to heaven, he told the apostles to remain in Jerusalem until they had received the Holy Spirit. While waiting, they devoted themselves to prayer. (Acts 1:14) The Church celebrates the Ascension of Jesus on a Thursday and nine days later the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday. The Church began to set aside prayer for nine days, or a novena, from the Latin word for "nine," in remembrance of those original nine days of prayer. But there is nothing magical about the number nine. We can pray for a special need for as many days as we wish.
