Immaculate Conception Novena Starts November 29, 2011

Starting November 29th, I am joining over 6,000 Catholics to pray the Immaculate Conception Novena.

With so many faithful Catholics around the world praying this novena, I thought you’d like to join too.

Do you have any special petitions to bring to Mary?

You can sign up for handy email reminders to get the the novena prayers here: Immaculate Conception Novena.

Let’s get all the Catholics we know to pray this novena together for the Immaculate Conception!

Thanks to Lisa Graas for sharing this. I had never seen this, but you can go to the website of The Holy See and take a virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel.

Times Are Tough

Yes, times are tough. As if that's something we didn't all know already.  

It has especially hit home with me recently, as my hours at work are a long way from being full time now. I barely get 32-33 hours a week at my job, and my pay rate is not as much as it was.

I know that this is a dilemma being faced by many families and individuals around the country and around the world. I have cut back expenses everywhere I can, and don't know where else I can cut back. It's a good thing my internet is free... thanks to my landlady allowing me wireless access to her internet connection. That's all that allows me to continue these blogs.

So I am asking for your prayers for myself, and for the economic difficulties faced by so many others in these difficult times.

Thank you in advance.

May God Bless you and Our Lady keep you in her care!
