A little help Lord... Please

I am so weak with temptations Lord. I am constantly praying that you "reset" me. My Lord, my God how I love thee but I am just so weak. Now I question myself, is my love for You real? Do I really love You? Why do I keep on sinning? Why can't I keep my promises to you? Why have I taken you for granted?

My Lord, my God show your mercy upon my soul. Forgive me my sins. Please equip me with your armor of love and send forth your angels to guide and guard me all the days of my life on earth. Renew me Lord. Make me your own. Amen.

The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy

One of my favorite prayers is The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. I got hold of a booklet on the Life and the very marvelous story and life of St. Faustina Kowalska and on the promises of the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy when I was young, around high school. I just followed the directions written in the booklet and prayed hoping what I did was the right way of saying the Chaplet. In fact, during that time, when I want to be artistic on saying the Chaplet, I sang it (like a Gregorian Chant of some sort), still hoping that it was how it was sang. I watched one episode on EWTN, the whole community praying and singing the Chaplet. I was amazed, without exageration, that the way they sang it was how the way I sang it! (my prayer was heard!) from that day forward I am proud to say that I am a devotee of the Chaplet and I am constatly reciting the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy

I want to share with you on how it is recited:

This is done using the regular rosary beads.

1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.

2. Then on the Our Father Beads say the following:
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

3. On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

(Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five decades).

4. Conclude with (three times):
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen

My New Phone - A Nokia C6

My father was issued a service celphone. He is an elected government official. However, he does not know how to use the phone (since it was a touch phone). Unfortunately, last December, it was recalled due to some unavoidable circumstances and he was advised to return the unit. I was using That celphone since I was the only one who knew how to use the unit. I had no choice but to comply. I was sad since it was a very nice phone. Fortunately, I tried calling my service provider and inquired if they are offering a free unit, yes they are offering. I asked if I was qualified, and fortunately, I AM QUALIFIED! Thank God! There was a wide range of celphone units (the free units). I did not like the free units since it does not have a wifi feature. What I need is a unit that can connect to the internet:). I chose a Nokia C6 but I need to shed a few thousand pesos. So this is the phone that I am using now. I really love it!

From December up to this writing, i did not realize that I can update my blog using my phone :) in fact this is what I am using in updating this entry! Another blessing ey! ;)

A Prayer Answered!

I have always prayed that the Lord will give us a business of our own. Something that would involve all the family members and at the same way, could help our unemployed neighbors be productive. Finally, coming straight from my mom's mouth, a company contatacted my dad. Hopefully this is the answered prayer. Hopefully this is for keeps.
