2019 Reading List Update: Book 4: Silence- A series of conferences given by a Calmaldolese Hermit

" Christians should be on their guard against the snares of the devil. In order to do so, we need a deep faith. Unfortunately, many are losing their faith, and consequently they become careless and weak. They no longer can, nor do, resist the devil. This is the beginning of the end for many."

2019 Declutter Project 4: Nail Polishes

Apologies again because I keep forgetting to take pictures of my little declutter projects. I did go through all my nail polishes and rid myself of almost all of them.

2019 Reading List Update: Book 3, Patience compiled by Father Lasance

This is a short book of 148 pages and is great as a daily meditation-especially if you don't have much time.  I especially like the meditation about Saint Joseph which triggered thoughts of how this holy man felt while journeying to Egypt with the Holy Family to save Jesus.

March: Saint Joseph

March is the month for Saint Joseph and I thought it would be good to have a novena prayed for fathers. 
Intention: For the spiritual and physical welfare of our fathers (living and dead) and for all priests who have celebrated Mass at our chapel.

Here is the prayer which should be started 3/1:
 

Glorious St. Joseph, foster-father and protector of Jesus Christ! To you do I raise my heart and hands to implore your powerful intercession. Please obtain for me from the kind Heart of Jesus the help and graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I ask particularly for the grace of a happy death, and the special favor I now implore (name it).

Guardian of the Word Incarnate, I feel animated with confidence that your prayers in my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God.

V. O glorious St. Joseph, through the love you bear to Jesus Christ, and for the glory of His name,
R. Hear my prayers and obtain my petitions.
