Premium MemberA Minimalist's Bed-Time Prayer


               Now I lay me down to sleep
                 I pray the Lord the world to keep

               afloat for yet another day
                     ~ protect my family anyway


Premium MemberWith Fingers Crossed?


With fingers crossed, I live most every day
by thoughts, most often of my family.
With fingers crossed, along with how I pray,
have fervent hope they'll all live happily.

With fingers crossed, beseech unsteady fate
which often does what it thinks it should do,
and hope the chance that it will deviate
from bad decisions, planning to be true. 

Therefore, I must rely on prayers to God
Who listens to us all, each one by one-
reshaping futures, often seen as flawed
to grant our wishes and declare them done.

With fingers crossed? Or hands held tight in prayer?
I do believe from fate, God's prayers will spare.

Premium MemberWars and Rumours

Wars and Rumours

“Wars, wars, 
And rumours of Wars”, 
Exactly what Jesus said.
“In the world today you will have tribulation,”
Exactly what Jesus said.

Close to the beginning
In the very first family
Cain killed Abel his brother 
And so it has been ever since.

Despite God’s command
Love your neighbour as yourself,
On our own, God’s creatures 
Cannot do that at all.

But through Jesus Christ,
Through his life and his death
Through his rising again
There is hope and there’s power.

We can live life in love
And peace through his Cross.
And no longer be lost
In these wars at such cost.

Premium Membera sincere prayer for white wolf woman

May the healing mother give your heart peace
May the forgiving father watch over you as you sleep
May your spirit animal, the deer, issue you much needed comfort
May your totem, the turtle, show you the way to health

May your sweat lodge sisters pray that your cancer dissipates
May your family dream of better times and ways to help you through this
May your body push out the bad, and inhale the better greater good
May our prayers help you through this trying time, White Wolf Woman


Premium MemberMy prayer

God I need a big favor 
If there's any way to help me.
My wife wants a divorce,
And I want to keep my family.

I know you are busy,
But God, I need you.
I don't want to lose her.
Is there anything you can do 

I know we don't talk much,
or really any at all.
And this favor I'm asking
The order is really tall.

God, I need some help.
I don't know what to do.
Please God, do something.
Do anything, I'm begging you.

There has to be something
To make her want to stay.
God, I need a miracle.
In your name, I pray.

Premium MemberStay - 09-03-2024

You left without a goodbye.
I didn’t see the time go by.
I think of you every day,
And I cry and pray.

I remember your smile.
I would walk a mile
Just to see you for a moment.
The pain leaves me spent.

Years ahead without you,
Years behind seem so few.
Alive but not living,
Sunrises and sunsets are fleeting.

Looking for meaning
In every morning.
Your father, sister, brother, and nephew
Are the reasons why I see the dew.

Help me stay
For another day,
So that those we love
Are protected under the cove
And won’t feel the pain
Of another heartbreak
At the wake.

In loving memory of my daughter, Karyn.

Premium MemberHostages

Hostages Miracle Man Labor Day 2024 Sometimes others make decisions, that will go against our grain. We allow sacrifices to be made of a few for the good of many, without refrain. It always seems so unfair, if you’re family of one of these few. Being told that,“a man’s gotta do, what a man’s gotta do” We thank God each morning, that we’re not one of the few. But sometimes we tend to overlook, what the prayers of many can do. I wonder if it were your loved one, would it shine a different light, On the seriousness of negotiation? Just a thought, but it might.

Premium MemberI Wish To Fly

 
"And even if I'm flying solo, I'm flying free." Unknown the church quiet, dim and serene alone with the God I whisper to him as flickering candles cast deep shadows and tear falls down my face I bow my head in deep sorrow my family, and friends have forsaken me and my pen is frozen oh, God carry me from this dark pit I wish to fly beyond this earth to fly higher than the clouds and glide on my wings, a bird set free to drift over forests and aqua seas

Premium MemberFor What Do His Loved Ones Pray

     When his end’s very near
        on this earth he holds dear
     For what do his loved ones pray

     Do they try to allay
        the pain that holds sway
     Or do they wish for release
        ~ all suffering cease

Premium MemberMary Rules

O Blessed Virgin Mary, our Lord's servant-- so humble
Hearing your Seven Sorrows makes my heart almost crumble
I wish to imitate your loving prayers (and not mumble)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Virgin Mary, humble servant of the Lord, was
open to His every word and call. She was embraced by
Francis with indescribable love and declared the
protectress and advocate of his family. The Secular
Franciscans should express their ardent love for her by
imitating her complete self-giving and by praying
earnestly and confidently. "
(THE RULE OF THE SECULAR FRANCISCAN ORDER, #9)

Premium MemberClaiming Grace Out Proud

Giving thanks
for insight
outside normal space
grows more grace
than taking from fertile Earth
without gratitude
thoughtless everyday attitude.

We give thanks
gathered here today
for all God's edibles
and ornaments
surpassing even sacred platitudes,
obscure beatitudes.

I give thanks
for this our timeless gathering
of family
proclaimed, not defamed
together more holy felt
than severed when apart.

Taking from Earth
without gratitude
heartless attitude
slow grows groaning grace,
our disturbing pace
within this silent pause

this sacred space
for giving thanks.

May we be so

Togathering this sacred space
for sufficient time,
healing all unwelcome severance.
