It’s Movie Time!

Here's what we're watching, but just because it's here, doesn't always mean it was good!

Pray for the canonization of JPII

God our Father, you reward all who believe in you. May your servant, John Paul our Pope, vicar of Peter and Shepherd of your Church, who faithfully administered the mysteries of your forgiveness and love on earth, rejoice with you for ever in heaven. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen!

St. Joseph Novena Day 1 — start today!

From the Virtual St. Joseph Altar blog:

We’re in the home stretch now! If you begin your novena today it will end on the eve of the Solemnity. I will post each days’ prayers as we go along. Hope you will join us!

Novena to Saint Joseph:

Glorious Saint Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, to you we raise our hearts and hands to implore your powerful intercession to obtain, from the benign heart of Jesus, all the helps and graces necessary for our spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly for the grace of a happy death and this special favour we now request . . . O guardian of the Word Incarnate, we feel animated with confidence that your prayers on our behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. O Glorious Saint Joseph, through the love you bear to Jesus Christ and for the glory of His name, hear our prayers and obtain our petitions. Amen.

Novena Day 1
O great St. Joseph, with feelings of unlimited confidence, we beg you to bless this novena that we begin in your honour. “You are never invoked in vain” says the seraphic St. Theresa of Jesus. Be you then to me what you have been to that spouse of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and graciously hear me as you did her. Amen.

Saint Joseph, pray for us!

Nine Days of Prayer, Penance and Pilgrimage

novena-ad-montage

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Row v. Wade. As part of the USCCB’s recent call to prayer, Nine Days of Prayer, Penance and Pilgrimage will take place January

19 through January 27, 2013.

All the students from our homeschool co-op who are going to the March for Life received the pro-life pilgrim blessing this past Friday.

 The novena for life starts today. 

If you feel you need a reminder, you can even sign up for daily novena text messages! Simply text “9days” to 99000. You can also sign up for daily emails or just print the entire novena.

Thanks, Lena!

 

 

Cool kids’ crafts for St. Joseph’s Day

I’m double-posting from over at the Virtual St. Joseph Altar blog:

3D Cut & Color Virtual St. Joseph Altar

Cut, color, and create your own mini St. Joseph’s Altar. This fun family craft will help you and your little ones learn about the lovely St. Joseph Altar tradition. Complete instructions included on the pdf download. Send me a photo of your 3d Altar and I will post it right here on the Virtual St. Joseph Altar blog.

This craft has been used by PSR classes, homeschool co-ops, and individual families wanting to teach children about this beautiful tradition.

St. Joseph Novena with Free Download!

Don’t let the title fool you — this is a really fun craft to get little ones involved in a Novena to St. Joseph. Lacy at Catholic Icing has posted a great kids’ prayer craft, complete with lilies for St. Joseph, for the upcoming feast day.

Keep in mind: If you are planning a novena to end on the March 19th Feast Day, you’ll need to start on March 11.

Enjoy!

Compliments of Vee at Paper Dali. One of her earliest creations, and one of my favorites!

Divine Mercy novena starts today

Our Lord’s Mercy grants forgiveness of all sins and punishment on Divine Mercy Sunday. Begin your novena today, Good Friday, and end on Easter Saturday, the day before the Feast of Divine Mercy.

Different souls are prayed for on each day of this powerful novena:

  • Day 1, Good Friday – All mankind, especially sinners
  • Day 2, Holy Saturday – Souls of priests and religious
  • Day 3, Easter Sunday – All devout and faithful souls
  • Day 4, Easter Monday – Those who do not believe in Jesus and those who do not yet know Him
  • Day 5, Easter Tuesday – Souls of separated brethren
  • Day 6, Easter Wednesday – Meek and humble souls and the souls of children
  • Day 7, Easter Thursday – Souls who especially venerate and glorify Jesus’ mercy
  • Day 8, Easter Friday – Souls who are detained in purgatory

O+L+G novena day 9

O God, You have been pleased 
To bestow upon us unceasing favors 
By having placed us 
Under the special protection
Of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. 
Grant us, your humble servants, 
Who rejoice in honoring her today upon earth, 
The happiness of seeing her face to face in heaven.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory.
