Hmm. I see my blog has had a few visits from Vatican City. Now, who there would be interested in reading Salve Regina? You don't suppose they saw my MotuProprio posts, do you?
A paramedic who loves her job, but first and foremost, a traditional Catholic who recognizes the tremendous grace and privilege of belonging to the Catholic faith.
And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

Now you're for it my girl.
Don't say I didn't warn you ;-).

Too cool...perhaps it was Himself (our Beloved Pope that is)
Well I'm scared because in the last 24 hours I've had 8 visits from various people in China...none prior to this.
Don't know what I've done now.
Weird.
I've also had lots of visitors from Bejing, China today. Hopefully they are searching for Catholic blogs.
Well, I've been hearing that this is supposedly the "Age of the Laity". So maybe someone really is listening to you.
Oops... but I think that only counts if "the laity" they speak of is the type that is desireous of a Catholic-Lite Catholic Church.
The likes of us don't count.
