A Special Prayer Just for Moms!

+
Behold the handmaid of the Lord
Be it done unto me according to Your Word.
I seek only to do Your Will Lord :
That I avoid all sin and selfishness,
That I love ,
That I fulfill my duties well,
That I be attentive to Your Voice.
Open my heart to Your Will for me today
And I pray the same for my family and friends.
Grant me the Grace of a willing heart and a docile spirit.
Help me to do all for love of You.
Flood my poor heart with Your Love
so that I may love all the people in my life today
as You would have me love them.
Amen.

Prayer, Going to Meet Jesus (article)

"Stop in Here, Free Gas!"

It's nothing more than a rickety little hut with a dusty gas pump outside, an old grizzly-looking fellow dozing in his rocker on the porch, feet up on the railing, puffing a pipe, and a great big sign along the highway advertising "Free Gas". But nonetheless, despite not looking very impressive, we turn and stare out across the vast expanse of a dry and dirty desert before us and think, "Hey, this might be my last chance! That desert is gonna be hot and dusty, and I wouldn't want to get stuck along the highway with no fuel. Not to mention the fact that the gas is free...duh!" So, we pull the car over to the little station, open the tank and let the attendant fill us up.

This is what prayer is...'free grace'. Despite that on the outside going to spend time in prayer may not seem like much, nonetheless all graces flow from prayer. In fact, the Church teaches there can be no salvation without prayer, so essential is it to our receiving the blessings and graces of God needed for us to fulfill our missions. Prayer is taking the time to pull into the gas station to receive the free gas.
