August 23, 2020
"Lord, our God, you graciously chose St. Dymphna as patroness of those afflicted with mental, emotional, and nervous disorders. She is thus an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who ask her intercession.****Please grant, Lord, through the prayers of the pure youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all suffering such trials, and especially those for whom we pray (Here mention those for whom you wish to pray).****We beg you, Lord, to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna on our behalf. Grant all those for whom we pray patience in their sufferings and resignation to your divine will. Please fill them with hope, and grant them the relief and cure they so much desire.***We ask this through Christ our Lord who suffered agony in the garden. Amen." ********"St Dymphna, Strengthen Us." ***Blessed Mother Mary, pray for us. St Joseph, pray for us. St Joachim & St Anne, pray for us. St Michael the Archangel, pray for us. St Peregrine, pray for us. St Lucy, pray for us. St Theresa(Little Flower), pray for us. St Anthony, pray for us. St Jude, pray for us. Dear Lord, Please help & hear our prayers!******May God Bless all always.

"So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. " Colossians 2:10 (NLT)********"WHO DOESN'T REMEMBER THE SCENE in the movie Jerry Maguire when the Tom Cruise character realizes that Renee' Zellweger is in fact the lvoe if his life? He busts into a room full of bitter divorcee's and declares to a teary Renee' "You complete me." *******Last night, I watched a documentary about hte relentless pursuit of extreme wealth. The excesses were at once pitiful and repellant: Women buying fifteen-thousand-dollar handbags in every color. Former Wall Street tycoons had crossed the line and now live in exile on the Most Wanted list. A common refrain from those profiled is that getting more only led to wanting more.****I pursed my lips injudgmental disgust. But then I realized I've done the same. I still struggle to seek fulfillment in people and things instead of Jesus. My husband, professional achievement, cash, and yes, handbags of the thirty-dollar variety. For me too, it's never enough.****Many Bible translations use the word fullness instead of complete. In Ephesians Paul reminds us of the fullness we have in Christ. In Jesus, I am filled with all good things. The very fullness of God is my re-birthright. I can be satisfied and content. In Him I am complete.*****Jesus, please help me to experience the fullness and contentment available only in you." --ISABELLA YOSUICO*********"FAITH STEP: Pray the prayer in Ephesians 1: 16-23 and Ephesians 3: 16-19 in first person."

Almighty Father, although we are living through times of worldwide confusion and terrifying instability, I thank You for a new day in which I may see more of Your plan unfold. An epidemic, a devasting explosion, floods, and ruthless politicians are only a few links in the chain of calamities we have to endure. But to Your greater glory, Abbā, from the ashes of disaster, You are growing the roses of success! Thus with confidence, in Jesus’ name, I beg You, concede to us spiritual stability. Amen.

Inspired by 8/23 Meditation & Faith Step,
Happy tears of joy for Jesus helping you find your dog Heidi safe from harm. I praise and thank Jesus for healing our senior German Shepherd, Heidi. I pray for CR that his pain ceases, he is healed of alcohol disease, and he would come to know the amazing love of Jesus and God. In Jesus name I ask this prayer. Amen.

"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off." Matthew 18: 12-13 (NIV)*********"HEIDI! HEIDI!" I YELLED, STANDING AT THE edge of the woods. Heidi, one of our four dogs, was lost, I had already looked for her down by the pond and all around our yard. Please help me find her, I asked Jesus, I had driven around the neighborhood hoping to see her. Some neighborhood kids offered to help look. Heidi is going to be in trouble when I find her. That crazy dog. I had looked every place I could think of.***Jesus, please help me find her and don't let her be hurt. Then I thought, What if she is hurt? What if we never see her again? As these panicky thoughts filled my mind. I started crying and headed to my neighbor's backyard because sometimes out dogs played together. I was hoping Heidi had found her way there. While I was standing there crying, my neighbor's dog, Sandy, kept rubbing against my leg. "Quit, Sandy, I'm busy." I said. She put her paw on my leg, I looked down and saw that it was Heidi! "Heidi!" I yelled with joy. All thoughts of punishing her flew out the window. In that moment, all I wanted to do was hold her tight and love her.****Jesus feels exactly the same way when one of His sheep is lost. He wants us found. He adores each and every one of us. He cant' stand to be separated from us. He yells for joy when one of His lost sheep comes home." --KATIE MINTER JONES*******"FAITH STEP: Pray for those you love who are lost, that they would come to know the amazing love of Jesus."
