Thank you God for showing us that such good can pour out of someone, even when others may have called it hopeless.

1.By Counsel
2.By Command

praying for others selfishly?

How does the act of praying for others become vainglory for me? This isn’t a decision I make, or even notice as it is happening. I love praying for others. I really do — I can’t wait to have a quiet moment to say a rosary for the Christians being attacked in India and Iraq. [...]

Today was my second attempt at the Dentist’s office. My tooth still will not numb to the nerve!  It numbs all around it but not down to the nerve.  After another 9 shots my dentist said he wanted to try to apply pressure.  He said I should feel pressure but no pain.  OUCH!  Now it [...]
