For the last hour, rumors have been flying that Natasha Richardson, who was just in a fatal skiing accident, passed on. After looking on at least 10 different official websites, it came up on AOL.
RIP Natasha Richardson!

40 Days For Life, Day One.
Intention:
That we may use these 40 Days for Life to plead for God's mercy and grace upon all those involved in the sin of abortion.
Scripture:
Blow the trumpet in Zion! Proclaim a fast, call an assembly. Gather the people, notify the congregation. Assemble the elders; gather the children and the infants at the breast… Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep and say, "Spare, O Lord, your people."
-- Joel 2:15-17
Reflection:
The toll of abortion cannot be measured. We hear estimates of almost 50 million innocent victims, but that's only one aspect of the harm that has unfolded in abortion's wake. There are also the mothers and fathers of these millions, as well as the grandparents, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins. Unborn lives destroyed. Lives of the living shattered.
It's overwhelming and depressing, but even in the midst of such unfathomable darkness, the church teaches us to have hope. Yes, it was indeed Calvary that followed Christ's 40 days in the desert, but without Calvary there would have been no Resurrection - His victory over death that opened the gates of heaven to those who believe in and follow Him.
The psalmist encourages us to go humbly before God as we seek His will: "A clean heart create for me, O God, and a steadfast spirit renew within me… Give me back the joy of your salvation and a willing spirit sustain in me… O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall proclaim your praise" (Psalm 51:12, 14, 17).
We are called to be God's messengers; or as the Apostle Paul told the Corinthians: "We are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God" (2 Corinthians 5:20). That is the true message to all we encounter at the abortion centers and in our communities who have been deceived by the Culture of Death. We don't bring condemnation; we bring God's good news.
Prayer:
Lord, we ask for the strength, courage, wisdom, determination and stamina to carry out this mission according to Your will. Guide us, we pray, as we go forth and proclaim Your truth, always doing so with a spirit of love and compassion, as was demonstrated to us by Your Son, Jesus Christ. In His name we pray, amen.

Prayer Request
Hi everyone! Please keep my uncle's father in your prayers. He just passed away last night.
No, it's not my grandfather. It's my mom's younger sister's husband's father. So that makes him my... I don't know.
But he was a GREAT guy! Always smiling and laughing. I remember meeting him a couple times.
Please pray for his soul and for my aunt Patty and Uncle Jeff and my cousins, Scott and Shannon. Also pray for Uncle Jeff's mother and siblings during this hard time.
Prayer for a Departed Loved One
O Gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor souls, have mercy on the soul of thy departed servant, Ray. Be not severe in thy judgement but let some drops of thy precious blood fall upon the purifying flame, and do thou, O merciful Savior, send thy angels to conduct thy departed servant to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Merciful Jesus, grant eternal rest.
Thank you <3 href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank">

Pray for vocations.
O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge, understanding, and counsel to youth that they may know the vocation wherein they can best serve God. Give them courage and strength to follow God's holy will. Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in God's holy service. Amen.

Last bit of political stuff
And then I'm done (For now...)
A very good friend of mine named Jessi started this group on facebook. It's a post-election prayer group. We're going to start a novena on Saturday. If you want (no pressure), you can join this group
And second... I stole this from Sardines in a can, a new favorite blog of mine.
--Either way, win or lose, I'm afraid life will once again (dun dun dun) return to (gulp) normal. Ahhhhh, normal. Where we all once again have things in common and live in the same America - where none of us are "fake" or "anti-American" or "elite" and we're all back to raising kids, paying our bills, going to work and whining about the government.....--
For some reason, once I read this, I knew I HAD to post this on my blog. It's awesome, isn't it?!
Anyway, I'm thinking about starting a new blog for just my book stuff... what do you think? I think I'll make a poll for it.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
