… and praying for Sam and her precious little Stephen Thomas.  Sam was just put on complete bed rest, with baby number 13, after her water broke Monday at 18 weeks gestation.

    Thank you everyone…I am in tears once again how God can bring blessings out of suffering. Just seeing the world rally for by baby is so humbling and promising. What mom wouldn't go to the end of the world to save her baby? Our God is an awesome God bringing people together through the internet who would otherwise never know each others joys and sorrows. I know that no matter what happens with my precious baby that God's will is being done.

    I am sure that when we are all glorified together in the Kingdom of Christ the banquet table will be full of great stories and reunions with those God has placed in our lives without us even knowing it! Love to all especially you Jessica for being so open to sharing your love for the Lord with others!

    I just wanted to share with all of you St Therese followers that someone who heard about my situation brought over a Bl Louis and Zelie Martin Relic this morning and prayed with me for their intercession! I am lifting up all of you and your intentions as I pray with them! +JMJ+

    Dear friends and prayer warriors…Steven didn't make it…I went to the hospital yesterday to be induced after seeing that there wasn't a heartbeat during the sonogram. I delivered Steven at 5am this morning…he was 5 months today and he was just perfect in every way. I just got home from the hospital and am resting. I will post more later. Thank you all for being part of our MIRACLE…all this support during this time has been amazing…thank you for your prayers.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
