Baby born "in the field"

Dear Lord; 

     Thank you for watching over Ms. B's dd and gdd and sil. The gdd was born safely "in the field" in front of the family house. When the time came Ms. B's sil was there to catch her dd and then her gdd as she was being born. We thank you for the neighbor who came out with a bundle of towels for the mother and child. 

     Please bring down the Holy Spirit and heal the family from the experience of giving birth on the sidewalk. Send the baby's guardian angel to watch over her, please. She has a lot of paperwork to go through thanks to technicalities. 

   

     Please bless the family of Ms. B's new gdd. 

     We thank you, Lord. 

     AMEN

The seven works of mercy-- corporal

     Information on the corporal works of mercy can be found at both www.ewtn.org and Wikipedia. New advent encyclopedia will also have DETAILED information on the subject. 

     The corporal works of mercy deal with the physical life. How to help your fellow human being. In Matthew 25 Jesus is teaching his disciples how nations will be judged. Parameters were set by Jesus. 

     "Whatsoever you did to the least of my people, that you did unto me."  Did you feed me when I was hungry? Did you clothe me when I was naked? Did you give me drink when I was thirsty? Did you offer me shelter when I was homeless? Did you visit me when I was sick? Did you visit me when I was imprisoned? Did you bury my body after I died?

    If you didn't help out your fellow human being how can you expect to enter into the kingdom of heaven? 

     Read Matthew 25 for the full knowledge.  Jesus wants us to do both spiritual and physical works of mercy. The Catholic Church helps us understand this in the catechism. We each have gifts given to us by GOD. 

Also read the book of Tobit in the Old Testament.  Tobit does many of these works of mercy.

     This Jesuit priest says it better than me. He describes both types of work of mercy. Then he describes how the catechism says giving alms to the poor is one of the more chief witnessing for Fraternal charity. It is also a work of justice pleasing to God.

Red Scarf Project for Foster Youth

     Please go to the website and read about the following two projects. See the two pictures to see extracts from the website.

Thesaurus of wedding ceremony dialogue

     The following book was borrowed from the library. It's a book on alternative weddings. It covers almost all bases (religious, spiritual, pagan, lgbtq, etc...).  It is from 1997. It still covers commitment ceremonies and same-sex weddings in certain states.  It also discusses what to do with friends and family who do not agree. Examples of real weddings are given from a variety of couples.
