St Emily de Vialar - Patron Saint of Single Women

I love this quote from St. Emily de Vialar
The others are good food for thought also.....but the first is my favorite. 

"The Lord causes to burn within me that same fire which He enkindled long ago, and I rejoice in this grace, for if God did not breathe into me the spirit of zeal, my heart would cease to be quickened and then I would not be able to do anything. May He, in His goodness, grant that as long as I live this divine fire may not be extinguished."

“Love of God is service to the poor.”

“Let us have no other wish than to work for God’s glory.”

"Since God does so much for me, what could I not do for him?"

-- St. Emily de Vialar

Triple Prayer of Confidence

I am often given parts for Rosaries by my fellow parishioners and one time I was given some books written and published back at about Vatican II time. The following is a Triple Prayer, of trust and confidence in Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, as well as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  I love these older prayers that I think have disappeared.
My Triple Prayer
Eternal Father for the love of the Eternal Son, and for the love of the Eternal Holy Ghost, grant my request.
Eternal Son for the love of the Eternal Father, and for the love of the Eternal Holy Ghost, grant my request.
Eternal Holy Ghost for the love of the Eternal Father and for the love of the Eternal Son, grant my request.
O my Crucified Jesus, for the love of the ever adorable Trinity, and for the love of Mary Joseph, grant my request.
O Mary, my Mother, for the love of the ever adorable Trinity, and for the love of Jesus and Joseph, obtain my request.
O Holy St. Joseph, for the love of the ever adorable Trinity, and for the love of Jesus and Mary, obtain my request.
ACT OF CONFIDENCE
Heart of Jesus, I adore Thee,
Heart of Mary, I implore thee,
Heart of Joseph, meek and just,
In these three Hearts I place my trust.


Most extraordinary graces have been received through the use of this prayer, which in one cry of confidence, directly and immediately calls upon Father, Son, Holy Ghost, and Jesus Mary, Joseph
