Blessed Anne of St Bartholomew with her service to St Teresa and the Carmelites shows the importance of a “supporting role”
Meditations for Each Day, pg. 223, The Promises made to those who practice Devotion to the Sacred Heart Jesus told St Margaret Mary Alacoque special blessing to thsoe who would be truly devoted to His Sacred Heart. ” I will give them all the graces necessary for their state in life… consolation in all their troubles… peace in their families… blessings on all their undertakings”
1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
2. I will establish peace in their homes.
3. I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
4. I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death.
5. I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.
6. Sinners will find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Lukewarm souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
9. I will bless every place in which an image of my Heart is exposed and honored.
10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
11. Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in my Heart.
12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of my Heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays in nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in my disgrace, nor without receiving their sacraments. My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.
Body not feeling well today. Every joint hurts in fact, my bones hurt too. Nap was good but I can’t just do nothing so I’m out here in the office.
Yesterday work continued in the kitchen. Things are moving along, just slowly but I’m liking the look that is emerging. The wall color difference is due to lighting vs no lighting. The paint is called “After the Storm” and I have used it in every room of the house because of how lightening changes the color. Still have trim work, flooring, door, and another cabinet to hang. Then the credenza and glass door hutch will go into place.
Good time was had with DDs Kaylee & Amy in PDC yesterday. Lunch was good. It was all time well spent. I smile, they wanted mother/daughter tats… I am thankful the tat artist looked the way he did, cause if he hadn’t those tats would have happened. The back story… I’ve wanted a tat since time began but, in my day” good girls” didn’t get them. My father was very clear on it would not happen. Each time I’ve considered it since I can hear his voice say… NO, period! End of discussion.
Know you are prayed for.
