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 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

Blessed Miguel Pro Prayer
I believe, O Lord; but strengthen my faith...
Heart of Jesus, I love Thee; but increase my love.
Heart of Jesus I trust in Thee; but give greater vigor to my confidence.
Heart of Jesus, I give my heart to Thee; but so enclose it in Thee that it may never be separated from Thee.
Heart of Jesus, I am all Thine; but take care of my promise so that I may be able to put it in practice even unto the complete sacrifice of my life.

More Spiritual Gifts
More food for thought....here are a few more areas where we may have Charisms or Gifts given to us from our Heavenly Father. We may be performing these things and don't even realize it. Do you think you are compelled to any of these inventory items? As always I invite discussion.
Discernment of Spirits
Encouragement
Knowledge

Spiritual Gifts
"Whatever the good God has given me
has always pleased me, even the gifts
which have appeared to me less good
and less beautiful than those received
by others."
-St. Therese of Lisieux
One of the strengths on my assessment from the Called and Gifted workshop I went to this weekend was Voluntary Poverty......at the time I joked about this, it wasn't my idea but God's idea that I should be THIS humble. I was thinking about this more this morning and....yes I do follow this lifestyle.
I have listed a few of the Charisms listed in the inventory; just at a quick glance ( I know many haven't attended this workshop) which do you think you can identify with?
Administration
Evangelism - Not as hard and scary as we think.
Giving - Maybe you already do this without knowing
Music
Service
Each day I will add a few more.....there are 24 areas. I welcome comments whether you have been to one of these workshops or not.

Called and Gifted
I was at a Called and Gifted workshop this past weekend…..WOW…it was fantastic.
One of my favorite individuals, Mary Sharon Moore, was the speaker. I love listening to her and learning from her. Her presentation is so lively and the woman knows her stuff.
We were first guided to remember that we are all commissioned by God and given Charisms/gifts at Baptism and Confirmation for the good of God’s work to take out to the community/world. There were 24 Charisms discussed. Our homework the first night was to take inventory through 120 questions, and evaluate on a scale of 0-3 the level of importance or occurrence of particular events in our daily lives. Very easy to do, and then total your scores to find where your strengths are. It is interesting to see how there may be more that one area you are gifted in and how they work together.
This was sponsored by the Catherine of Siena Institute out of Colorado Spring CO. Thank you,
Siena Institute, so much for this ministry. Additionally, Mary Sharon Moore is an excellent teach and speaker. I was blessed to be at a Women’s Retreat a couple of years ago where she was the presenter, and was so happy to see her again. She has also written many books, one in particular that fit this workshop very well, “Anointed for a Purpose”.
If you can…schedule this workshop in your area, it is a must attend. Clear out the clutter and enable yourself to get down to the real work God intends for you.
