Intercessory Prayer... You?
August 1 – Blessed Bond
Jesus, let Thy Beautiful Presence be always with us.
“I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.”
There is no bond of union on earth to compare with the union between a soul that loves Me — and Me.
Priceless beyond all earth’s imaginings is that Friendship.
In the merging of heart and mind and will a oneness results that only those who experience it can even dimly realize.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken
down the middle wall of partition between us. Ephesians 2:14

St James... Feast Day
"James and John were known as “sons of thunder.” They seem to have had strong tempers. We read in Matthew 20:20-28 that the mother of James and John once asked Jesus to give her sons a high position in his kingdom. When Jesus asked the two brothers if they could endure the same suffering he was going to endure, they both said yes.
We do not know very much about James’ life. Tradition says he may have traveled to Spain. During the Middle Ages there was a famous shrine to St. James at Compostela in Spain. Luke records in the Acts of the Apostles: “It was about this time that King Herod started persecuting certain members of the Church. He beheaded James, the brother of John” (Acts 12:1-2). James is thought to have been the first apostle martyred.
St. James is a very popular saint in England, where more than four hundred churches are dedicated to him."

Many blessings to you all...
Have happy feet as you walk your walk on the Path to know Jesus Christ.

July is dedicated to the Precious Blood
Please visit... Site Ref: Novena Prayer
Feast Day July 1st
And...
The feast of the Precious Blood of our Lord was
instituted in 1849 by Pius IX,
but the devotion is as old as Christianity.
The early Fathers say that the Church was born from the
pierced side of Christ,
and that the sacraments were brought forth through His Blood.

Saint James the Less
SAINT JAMES THE LESS
LET US LEAR A BIT MORE...
"James was the son of Alphaeus and seems to have been born in Caesarea. He is mentioned less frequently in the New Testament than Philip is. Sometimes James is called the Less, which might be a hint that he was a short person or else that he was younger than the other apostle named James."
"After Jesus’ death James continued to preach the Gospel and is believed to have become the first bishop of Jerusalem. Assuming that James and the first bishop of Jerusalem are one and the same person, then he met his death as a martyr in that city about the year a.d. 62. Tradition identifies James as the author of the epistle associated with his name."

Saint Joseph the Worker
![](https://lpress-craft.loyolapress.com/images/saints/Joseph.jpeg)
"To give workers a patron, the Church turned to Joseph, who had been made the Patron of the Universal Church by Pope Pius IX in 1870 and the model for fathers of families. Joseph was named protector of workers by Pope Benedict XV, and in 1955, the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker on May 1 was proclaimed by Pius the XII. Let us pray to Saint Joseph for his help in all our work and for those many people who want and need jobs but cannot find them."

THE HISTORY OF MAY and more...
First and foremost... What does May mean?
"May (in Latin, Maius) was named from the Greek goddess Maia, who was associated with the Roman era goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May."
"The Roman poet Ovid, gives us another thought... He says that the month of May is named for the maiores, Latin for "elders." Site Reference: wikipedia.org
Did you know?
"In 1868, Anna Jarvis' mother, Ann Maria (née Reeves) Jarvis organized a committee to establish a "Mother's Friendship Day", the purpose was "to reunite families that had been divided during the Civil War." Anna Jarvis, had previously organized Mother's Day Work Clubs to improve sanitation and health for both Union and Confederate encampments undergoing a typhoid outbreak. She also wanted to expand these into an annual memorial for mothers, but she died in 1905 before the annual celebration was established. Her daughter would continue her mother's efforts.
~~~
"Mother's Day is an annual holiday celebrated in the United States on the second Sunday in May. Mother's Day recognizes mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds in general, as well as their positive contributions to their families and society. It was established by Anna Jarvis, with the first official
Mother's Day celebrated through a service of worship at
St. Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, on May 10, 1908."
"Throughout the world, Mother's Day celebrations have taken place from different origins and traditions, of which some were influenced by the American tradition. For more information on the international celebration of Mother's Day, see Mother's Day." Site Reference: wikipedia.org
History... and then more
Perhaps it was a tradition in Italy to honor
the Mother of Jesus during the Month of May in the 1700's...
I find it interesting that the tradition of Mother's Day probably and logically inspired the thought from the association with the
Greek Goddess Maia and the Roman Goddess Bona Dea.
Our human traditions seem to roll over into an expanded celebration!
AND...
Perhaps how Mother's acknowledgement during the Month of May really matters at all!
What matters is that we do...
HONOR OUR MOTHERS
AND THE MOTHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
BLESSED VIRGIN MARY.
Oh how we love our earthly mothers and our heavenly mother, Mary...
Thank you Jesus for helping us celebrate the
GIFT of LOVE from GOD... Our Heavenly Father.

Forgiveness
Litany of the Dust
for those who have let us down...(Repeat: Father, forgive them.)
for those who have been indifferent to us...
for those who have crippled our lives...
for those who have doubted us...
for those who have accused us...
for those who have preferred others to us...
for family members who have hurt us...
for friends who have denied us...
for those who have walked away from us...
For my own self pity...Father, forgive me.
for my lukewarmness...(Repeat: Father, forgive me.)
for my times of despair and distrust...
for my refusals to be hugged...
for my disbelief in your love...
for my searchings everywhere but in your heart...
for apologies frozen on my lips...
for my words of love unspoken...
for my kisses and embraces ungiven...
for compliments never offered...
for a heart closed in self-centeredness...
for my own unforgiving postures...
for not believing in your forgiveness...
O Jesus, you who offered forgiveness to so many---to Mary, the
Crippled Man, the Good Thief---who said that you came to give
life and shed your blood "for the forgiveness of sins," forgive us
our sins. Not only the obvious ones, but especially the unnoticed
ones of pride, righteousness, self-hate and the refusal to be loved.
Take our very selves and wash them in that unconditional love
of yours, for you are a God of mercy and compassion, you who
live and love forever and ever. Amen.
