Someone out there is praying for you

As I begin a new day, I want to remind you that there are people out there praying for you right now.

Above is an icon representing only a handful of the Saints in heaven who are very much concerned with our welfare here on earth.

That is a matter of faith, of course, according to the Catholic Church.

I'm sure each of us has actual family members or ancestors who are saints in heaven as well and are very concerned about our well-being here.

We all feel abandoned at some point (or points) in our lives, and I am thankful to have the grace of God to be able to see this truth of our faith. We all have very concerned families interceding for us.

Of course, our Lord Jesus Christ ultimately is the only Intercessor with Our Father in heaven through the workings of the Holy Spirit.

God is the Trinity.

God is a Family.

And he listens intently to the cries and prayers of all his family here on earth and in heaven.

I, too, have been alone, I too have been abandoned, I too have been abused and neglected, I too have been poor (and really still am.)

So too was Our Lord.

He is a God who cares deeply for us and will not abandon us to our sickness and sin.

I take the time now to renew my private prayers to Him and my family in heaven.

I will also renew my public prayer to return to suitable, normal work now that my 15 years of caregiving to my father have ended peacefully.

I want to thank my mom and dad again. They gave me life, they gave me love and they gave me a home when I needed it.

God bless you and have a great day today.

Favorite picture of my mom and dad.

Thank you both.
