I See An Angel in My Tree...

This is a True Story... 

"All night long I look out my window…

And what do I see?

An Angel in my tree, just watching over me… 

 

 

As I lay there thinking what a day I've had,

 I look again, and there's

An Angel in my tree, just watching over me… 

 

Night after night, I look out my window and what do I see

An Angel in my tree, just watching over me… 

 

Yes, times have been hard, and days grow long into the night

 I look over my shoulder and what do I see? 

An Angel in my tree, just watching over me… 

 

I close my eyes tight to get a good night, 

But my mind goes wild, and again I look to see, 

An Angel in my tree, just watching over me… 

 

Finally, I doze off till almost morning light. 

I look out my window to see... 

An Angel in my tree just, watching over me. 

 

All night long... an Angel was in my tree, watching over me. 

Once dawn breaks I see a tree, and scratch my head... 

No Angel in sight, did he take flight? 

Is this a fantasy or did I see,

An Angel in my tree, watching over me? 

 

Again that night, I looked out my window and what did I see? 

Yes

An Angel is in my tree, just watching over me."

And "FAITH" remains

And "FAITH" remains

A Broken "LOVE" lost it's e

Today, we share a little happening from our 

Prayer Sister, Rose Gabriella Caleb... 

She's an awesome prayer partner and 

prayer warrior who felt she needed more faith, 

so our prayer team helped her 

pray for more.  Then early one morning 

she found lying on the floor the wall plaques 

which had been hung on the wall of her kitchen broken 

all except for "FAITH" which still remains...  

Please see the first picture above... 

The wall message that once read: 

 "LOVE,  BELIEVE,  FAITH"   

    

Now reads

    "FAITH"

To this day "FAITH" REMAINS

*******

Rose Gabriella says to me... 

"When I got up in the morning the Love and Believe had fallen on the floor and were broken.  I could not find the missing piece to "Believe" which I would have glued together if I had found it, and then I noticed that Love was missing part of the "e" in Love. On the wall was only "Faith" and remains there until I can find a replacement." Our Prayer Sisters have been praying for me to have more Faith.   More Faith Lord, More Lord, More!  And there it was, and still is... It's there, "FAITH" as big as life.  Praise God, Praise the Son and Praise the Holy Spirit."  R G C

*******

Your Guardian Angel awaits your prayers to bring 

Your FAITH into action.  

He's your given helper for Life, a GIFT 

from God, Our Father in Heaven... 

Is it possible an Angel helped send this message 

to Rose Gabriella by removing the other two words from her wall?  

I love this message for her!

 

HAVE MORE FAITH... 

You'll receive Peace in Christ!

Lord give us all more FAITH... 

Peace be with you all... 

just Paige St. James here sharing our hearts 

with you to help inspire your life, maybe even for one minute! 

FEEL HIS JOY! 

Happy Mother's Day

 

 

Happy Mother's Day to Mary, 

Our Heavenly Mother 

and to all Mothers 💫

Mary, on this day when we honor all mothers, 

we turn to you. We thank the Lord whom you serve 

for the great gift of motherhood. 

 

Never has it been known that anyone 

who sought your intercession 

was left unaided by grace. 

 

Dear Mother, thank you for your "Yes" 

to the invitation of the Angel Gabriel, who brought 

heaven to earth and changed humanity. 

 

You opened yourself to God's word and the 

Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

Dear mother, intercede for all of our mothers this day. 

Please ask your Divine Son to give them the 

grace of surrendered love 

so that they could join with you in giving their own "Fiat." 

 

May they find daily strength to 

say yes to the call to the sacrificial love

the very heart of the vocation of motherhood. 

 

May their love and witness be a source of 

great inspiration for all of us called to follow your Son.

On this Mothers day, Mother of the Word Incarnate, 

pray for us who have recourse to thee...

In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

More about St. Monica the Mother of St. Augustine of Hippo

"She prayed for St. Augustine for 17 years before his conversion"

"Much of what St. Monica is known for is her persistence in prayer. Her son, St. Augustine of Hippo, lived a life of immorality, most notably that of lust and impurity, before converting to Catholicism. Throughout these years, she endured a tremendous amount of suffering."

"Augustine rejected her on multiple accounts, but she continued to love, pray and nurture her son throughout his wayward time."

"She felt discouraged, but never gave up"

"St. Monica cried many times over her son’s transgressions, but received affirmation from God on several accounts."

"St. Monica had a dream in which she wept over her son, and a figure told her that he was still with her. In his autobiography, The Confessions of Saint Augustine, St. Augustine wrote, "“that it was my soul’s doom she was lamenting…” The figure told her to be at peace, and “see that where she was there I was also.”

"She also received encouragement from a local bishop, who told her that “God’s time will come.” He added, “Go now, I beg you; it is not possible that the son of so many tears should perish.”

"She knew her purpose in life"

St. Monica wept, prayed and sacrificed for her son for many years. Her greatest desire in life was to see her son’s conversion to Catholicism, and once this happened, she believed her purpose in life had been fulfilled. She said to Augustine just a few days before she came down with a fever that caused her death:

“My son, speaking of myself, nothing earthly delights me any longer. I do not know why I am still here or why I should remain here. I have no further earthly desires.”

 More from Br. Hartman about St. Monica  

"Thus you gave another answer through your priest, a certain bishop nurtured in the Church and trained in your books. When that woman implored him to consider speaking with me, to refute my errors, un-teach me evil, and teach me good…he refused her, quite prudently, as I understood later. He responded that I was as yet indocile, that I was inflated with my heresy’s novelty… “but let him be. Only pray for him to the Lord: he will discover by reading what his error is…” She would not acquiesce to what he said but continued imploring… “Go away,” he said, “while you live, the son of these tears of yours shall not perish!” (The Confessions of St. Augustine III, 12)"

Angels assit Blessed Virgin Mary, The Undoer of Knots

My Prayer to Mary... The Undoer of Knots

O Virgin Mary, my Mother of fair love,

Our Mother, who never refuses to come to our aid.

We know that your hands never cease to serve God’s children. 

O Mother of Mercy who

constantly intercedes for us...

Please cast your compassionate eyes upon us now and 

see the snarls of knots that we’ve made in our lives.

You know how desperate we all are…

There is much heartache, and despair

which, causes us grief and pain.  

You know how tied up we get with these knots.

We are thankful, that God has entrusted us,

His little children, to you…

“The Undoer of Knots”

 We ask you to please, put your hands upon 

these knots that we have allowed to be made in our lives…

We place with you now the

“Ribbon of Our Lives” 

We put them in Your Hands O Mother Mary

We believe that there is no knot or snarl that cannot be untied by your powerful, Motherly intercession. For we know that by your intercessory prayer along with the Grace of Your Most Holy Son, Jesus Christ, that there isn’t any situation that can’t be corrected. We now place with you, into your precious hands, 

this knot that we have made.

(Mention your knot request here)

I ask you now to undo this knot for us, and by doing so that it will give Glory to God by untying it! Let God’s Mercy fall upon these knots, and all involved. You are our hope, O Mother, you are the gift of consolation, that God gives us, which is strength against the evil one’s attacks, and from ourselves.

Please help us to rely only on God, and not self, for we are but 

poor destitute little children, and without

Him and His Grace, we are nothing at all.

For Christ, Our Savior, is our freedom from these knots, 

that seem to have become our chains

that hold us back and strapped down.

Hear our plea, O most Holy Mother of God,

and through your Intercession for us…

we will be assisted, kept safe and protected…

O my safe refuge, my strength, my Heavenly Mother!

How I love Thee.  

“My Mother Mary”,

“The Undoer of Knots”, please pray for us all.

Amen.

In the Image above..."One angel gives her the knotted ribbon, while the other holds the un-knotted side and presents it to us.

Mary also crushes Satan’s head, representing her Immaculate Conception. The dove above her head symbolizes her spouse, the Holy Spirit.

At the bottom of the image, St. Raphael the Archangel accompanies Wolfgang as they walk towards the monastery. 

Johann Melchior Georg Schmittdner painted the Mary, Undoer of Knots image around the year 1700. It is on display at St. Peter AM Perlach-Church in Augsburg, Bavaria in Germany."
