It's been a busy week for me; I barley have time to visit my own blog never mind check on any of my favourites!
Yesterday, while working at one of the stations in my post, we were about to head out on a code 3 call when a tow truck pulled up and blocked us in. I motioned for him to move, but he said he was there to tow vehicles that were in violation of the city's parking ordinances. He was a big burly man, fitting the stereotype of what I thought a tow truck driver would look like.
It turned out that all he wanted was for any paramedics who had vehicles that were about to be towed to move them so he wouldn't have to tow our vehicles away. The reason he was so gracious toward us? One of the crews at this particular station I was working at had saved his life when he had a heart attack some time ago. He said the last thing he wanted was to make life difficult for the guys who saved his life. It wasn't my car that was in any danger of being towed, since I park and walk, but his generosity did make a difference to one of the fellows who quickly moved his car. So much for judging people with sterotypes.

- paramedicgirl
- 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.

Consecrated Hands
"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

I'm surprised that The canadian Government, allows Catholicism to be practised at all:
I met with a Bronx Born-Queens Raised Gentleman, who was up in ON, over the last few days. I drew him out of the Masons, if you remember;
He told me everything about how un-free, Canada is.
Michael, we are hardly a Communist country! Canada is very much like the US, except the US has more freaks than Canada because you have ten times the population. Where we really are alike is in our crappy leadership. We both seem to always get morons running our countries.
