A Month Among Months

October 1, 2009 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, Prayer, Spiritual Growth, The Faith 6 Comments


You’re seeing a theme in these blog post titles, I’ll bet. Well, if this week is a week among weeks liturgically, then this month is even more a month among months.

October is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. What could be more beautiful? What could be more needed?

I can think of at least a dozen heartfelt intentions that I have at the moment, intentions that include:

  • A dear friend’s husband who just lost his job;
  • A beloved sister who just got a new job (thanks to our prayers, she said);
  • A father from our parish who has a brain tumor;
  • And a daughter who’s making her First Holy Communion this year! (That’d be our Felicity.)

October is easily my favorite month. I was born in the month of October for one thing [grin] but more importantly, I know that the graces are there for the taking, in abundance, if only we ask Our Lady.

I love the song by Chris Rice called “Come to Jesus.”

To this I add, go to Mary first.

She will lead you the rest of the way.

AMDG,

    Would you add to your prayer list a son who is struggling with serious depression?

    "Come to Jesus" is BigBoy's favorite quiet song on that CD!

    We had Come to Jesus sung at Daniel's baptism.

    I'm sorry I missed the shot post. I would have had something to say, but I honor that you are done with that subject.

    I found the link to when I was spouting off about shots this spring. You can choose to read it if you wish.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
