About Me
- 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!
In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph
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

Lepanto! And the Feast of the Holy Rosary is celebrated on the anniversary of the battle.
For a memorable depiction of the battle one can't get much better than Chesterton's poem Lepanto.
The Battle of Lepanto, which saved the Christian West from being overrun by the Ottoman Empire.
It is celebrated by the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (October 7). Given the current state of the Church in the west and the immigration demographics, we should certainly be calling on Mary's intercession with more fervency than ever!
It didn't take long to get the correct answers! It's refreshing to know that people are so well schooled in their Catholic faith. Anonymous, yes, we need to pray the Rosary for our world today.
Do you know that the flags captured from the enemy ships are exposed in the Church of St. Stephen in Pisa.

Cristiano
well, you poor old sister here didn't know.. oh well:)
Thanks Cristiano. I didn't realize that. Say, are you Cristiano from CAF? I still pray for your son's vocation with every rosary. (There are now 18 seminarians and young men with vocations whom I pray for.)God willing, we will have many more.
I was gonna say "Lepanto," but a bunch of people beat me to it. :(
