I have a prayer I found online that I would like to give to everyone, especially to Michael who is leaving on Saturday for Europe, and Niki who is going back to Venezuela on July 12th:
Prayer Before Travel:Lord Jesus Christ my God, be my Companion, guide and protector during my journey. Keep me from all danger, misfortune and temptation. By Your divine power grant me a peaceful and successful journey and safe arrival. In You I place my hope and trust and You I praise, honor and glorify, together with Your Father and Holy Spirit now and forever and ever. Amen.
Lord Jesus, You traveled with the two disciples after the resurrection and set their hearts on fire with Your grace. Travel also with me and gladden my heart with Your presence. I know, Lord, that I am a pilgrim on this earth, seeking the citizenship which is in heaven. During my journey surround me with Your holy angels and keep me safe from seen and unseen dangers. Grant that I may carry out my plans and fulfill my expectations according to Your will. Help me to see the beauty of creation and to comprehend the wonder of Your truth in all things. For You are the way, the truth and the life, and to You I give thanks, praise and glory forever. Amen
I met Niki after work and we had a nice dinner at Amigo's. Then I went to Mass and got to spend some good time beforehand chatting with our friend, Marie. (Niki, if youre reading this, Marie says HELLO!!) After Mass I went to the religious goods gift shop and got Michael a present for his trip coming up THIS weekend! I got the priest to bless it, and I just know he will love it.
After Mass was the inaugural meeting for the Pro Life committee. We had about 11 people there, and it really seems like something that will be such a blessing to be a part of. We have people of all interests and experiences. One lady is interested in the political side. One lady is a Sonographer and wants to help start something at the Memorial for the Unborn here in Chattanooga, one lady is interested in Capital Punishment and Euthanasia.. an overlooked aspect of Pro-Life movements. We have all sorts, and I am proud to be involved. On a sad note, I heard last night that my Uncle is not doing very well and will soon pass away. This prayer is for him and his family:
Lord, Jesus Christ, Who suffered and died for our sins that we may live, if during our life we have sinned in word, deed or thought forgive us in Your goodness and love. All our hope we put in You; protect your servant from all evil. We submit to Your will and into Your hands we commend our souls and bodies. For a Christian end to our lives, peaceful, without shame and suffering, and for a good account before the awesome judgment seat of Christ, we pray to you O Lord. Bless us, be merciful to us and grant us life eternal. Amen.
