ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who art always more ready to hear than we to pray, and art wont to give more than either we desire or deserve; Pour down upon us the abundance of thy mercy; forgiving us those things whereof our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen.


ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father; We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore thou those who are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind In Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.


Good Morning,

Recently we talked about the wonderful "LOVE Scale" at the Pallet Yard. We found something else on that same property that I want to share today.  God is absolutely everywhere trying to break into our life, we only need to look for him - in our neighbor, at the grocery, at the gas station, at work and yes,... in a Pallet Yard. 

Next to the scale was a statue of a woman, a mother standing tall as the winds of change bear down on her.





The sign reads 






The sign says "...Yet I do not want to be anymore than I am; a woman, your mother"; I am reminded we must be leery of the false self that seeks to please the world.  Do not listen to what society and progression dictates you should do, be who God made you to be, the real you. "All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made." -John 1:3

"Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." - 1John 4:4

On St Patrick's Day - of course, Fr Gabriel Harty is being held strong within our hearts. I remembered his love for Avoca, Ireland and the Meeting of the Waters (Rivers).   The Flowing together of two rivers is like the flowing together of love between two friends.   Because of Fr Gabriel and because of a dear friend who is battling some heavy illness issues, we decided to go to Carrollton, Kentucky. Our friend, whose name is Carroll, is a private person so I need not go into his struggles but simply ask you to pray for him. I n Kentucky - the Ohio River and the Kentucky River meet at Carrollton.   An appropriate place for us on St Patricks Day - to be at the meeting of the waters. There we prayed for Carroll and held all our dear friends close at heart. I had picked a shamrock (representing Trinity) and spring flowers (representing the regeneration of Spring time) and at the meeting point of the rivers, I tossed the bouquet into the waters. Seraphim had brought t...

Kentucky doing it right...

Many years ago, Seraphim had a brief meeting with Mother Theresa. She said to him: "If you do suffering right you become  better,   if you don't do it right you become  bitter ."  Today I saw Kentucky doing it right.  'Americans working together' Yesterday Nazareth House Apostolate offered the humanitarian side of the ministry to those struggling from the tornado damage.  We sent supplies and financial aid through the channels that make it possible for direct help.   We allowed those who do this best to do what they do.  Today we did what we do best - Prayer.  It's what we do - walking the streets, areas of turmoil, through war zones in prayer.  We went to Mayfield for the Spiritual “search & rescue” —the bathing of the area in prayer.  Physically calling on the Name of Jesus in area of trouble.  We carried your prayers with us. Walking the Streets in Prayer As we came closer and closer to the effected areas we sa...
