Intercessory Prayer... You?

 


Are you a person who prays for others?

Did you know that means you are an 
INTERCESSOR?

Yes, sometimes we are all called to pray for someone... 
Maybe someone we don't even know!

Our Lord will put a heaviness on your heart and mind that 
you just can't shake off.
This is a powerful feeling... 
an urgent need for you to pray for them.

It doesn't matter what our status is or what we are dealing with personally... It just comes... and when it does, oh boy... best to heed the need and follow your heart and pray, pray, pray for that person 
or situation at hand. 

Because... God has put this desire upon you! He picked YOU! 
Yes He did... He desired for you to listen and endure this request!

It's not easy...
No, it's not easy... 
and sometimes we carry this need to pray for another in a very somber way.

But did you know...??? 
Our Lord will allow you, 
Yes, you to carry their pain for them?

Never give up!

Be the 
INTERCESSOR THAT 
GOD IS CALLING 
YOU TO BE

~~~

Today I pray for all heartfelt Intercessors... 
Make their burdens be light and let 
their prayers be heard. 
Let them see valued results in the prayers 
that they've offered up to You, Lord for others.
Let them be the Light of the World for You, Lord. Amen

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



Picture Reference: St James

Saint James... He's one of my favorite saints. He's known as the patron saint of Pilgrims. 
We are all pilgrims on a spiritual journey, aren't we!

Paige St. James, a pilgrim messenger on a journey...


"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."

July is dedicated to the Precious Blood

Feast Day July 1st

And...

The month of July is dedicated to the 
Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.

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.

Prayer...
"May Your Son's holy blood fill our humanity to become more compassionate and loving towards our less fortunate brothers and sisters. Bestow upon them the blessing of strength and hope to triumph socio-economic and health challenges that they face." 
Amen 


May the Lord bless you and keep you close to His heart... 
I, Paige St. James pour the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ over you now and forever... 
May no harm come to you and may you always be in His peace. Amen.
