Here's an amazing array of photos of an incredibly hair raising road in South America. Be thankful you don't have to drive on it! Every trip down this road must feel like a narrow escape! This was originally sent to me as a Power Point slide show, but I couldn't get it to load here in that format. Thanks Tom, for converting all these slides to JPEG for me.
I did pray, but close my eyes?!?! I want to see what may kill me or perhaps what my son may kill...he has a nasty habit of hugging the curb-line...AHHH--RUN, RUN YOU PEDESTRIANS, THE ROADS ARE NO LONGER SAFE!!!!
I hope that you did not spew any liquids on your keyboard :)
I feel a bit better now that I had the car blessed..I thought the priest would laugh at me but I explained the "why" of why I was looking for a blessing and he totally understood, Like we all knew he would :)
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

wow!!! this for real to get to church?
Oh, I just added the church part in there to give it a Catholic theme. This is a Catholic blog, after all! ;}
That's like something out of the RoadRunner cartoons.
Oh my goodness...I could never drive one of those roads. I would be a nervous wreck.
I am not driving down that road ever.
One of those little bitty smart cars would be good there... or maybe ride a mule like they do in the Grand Canyon!
Oh man, this is not what I needed to see PG, right before letting my eldest drive my car for the first time with me in the passenger seat.
Karin, just close your eyes and pray! Seriously.

Geronimo!!!
Where exactly is this road(other than betwixt Heaven and Hell and Bolivia!) ?
Jim! Good to see you around here again! :}
The first slide says the location is Bolivia, South America, a place called Stramnaya Road, AKA "the road of death." Very aptly named, I think.
