Advent – Day 2

Today’s prayer from St. Ignatius of Loyola and the booklet’s copyright.

I hope to catch up a little tomorrow. We are finally home after a surprise detour to Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash and an early birthday dinner.

Advent Begins

Today the first day of Advent; my first Advent after being baptised.

I am planning on offering some reflections as I approach these next twenty-four days.

As thus is the busiest travel day of the year, we are still not home from our Thanksgiving holiday, so I thought I would share this first rejection/prayer from St. Dimitri of Rostov.

This is the prayer that appears in the Advent booklet given out by my church.
The second picture is the copyright information.

Black Friday

If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.

Thanksgiving Prayer

This was given by our St. Vincent de Paul Society in their Thanksgiving baskets and I wanted to share it with you. Blessings to you all.

On this day of Thanksgiving, may G-d rest our hearts and minds. May He bless us and our families and continue to extend His blessings to everyone who touch our lives. May He grant patience and perseverance, expressed with courage and wisdom, as we meet the changes of life here on earth.

Let us always approach our Heavenly Father with true thankfulness every day in our triumphs and trials, acknowledging His everlasting love for us and our utter dependence on Him.

We pray this through Christ our Lord, Amen
