St. Joseph by Captain (age 7)The feast of Saint Joseph usually falls on March 19th. This year however, March 19th falls on the Wednesday of Holy week. Even though the feast of St. Joseph is one of the solemnity feasts, it does not take precedence over the celebration...
Trace Adkins "You're Gonna Miss This"I heard this song on my way home from a friends home tonight. I LOVED it, even though it did make me cry... Crying can be good, right? When I got home I had to listen to it again, and while I was at it, I thought I would share it...

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.
