My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to you; and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am your own, keep me, guard me, as your property and possession. Amen.

Pope John Paul II pray for us!
"I hope you're right," said Susan. "I can't remember all that at all."
"That's the worst of girls," said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. "They never carry a map in their heads."
"That's because our heads have something inside them," said Lucy.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Spirit of wisdom and understanding, enlighten our minds to perceive the mysteries of the universe in relation to eternity. Spirit of right judgment and courage, guide us and make us firm in our baptismal decision to follow Jesus' way of love. Spirit of knowledge and reverence, help us to see the lasting value of justice and mercy in our everyday dealings with one another. May we respect life as we work to solve problems of family and nation, economy and ecology. Spirit of God, spark our faith, hope and love into new action each day. Fill our lives with wonder and awe in your presence which penetrates all creation. Amen.
Act of Consecration to Mary
My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to you; and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am your own, keep me, guard me, as your property and possession. Amen.
~Quotes~
"In the life of the saints, we find many of them who didn't want to leave anything of themselves behind after their death, not the smallest souvenir, not the least bit of writing." ~ St. Therese of the Child Jesus
If you embrace all things in life as coming from the hands of God, and even embrace death to fulfill His holy will, assuredly you will die a saint. ~St. Alphonsus Liguori
Those from whom I receive the greatest consolations and encouragement are those whom I know to be dwelling in Paradise. ~St. Teresa of Avila
The saints were so completely dead to themselves that they cared very little whether others agreed with them or not. ~St. John Vianney
"I have always noticed that when I compared to myself to the saints, there is between them and me the same difference that exists between a mountain whose summit is lost in the clouds and the obscure grain of sand trampled underfoot by passers-by. Instead of becoming discouraged, I said to myself: God cannot inspire unrealizable desires....I must bear with myself such as I am with all my imperfections...." ~St. Therese of the Child Jesus
~Is your cross too heavy? Accept it and bear it with a grateful heart and for the love of Jesus, and always do His will...Surely then, you will be a saint...or at least saintly.~
"God is more pleased by one work, however small, done secretly and without the desire that it be known, than a thousand works done with the desire that others know of them." ~St. John of the Cross

We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.

Very impressive CT, how old are you again??? Very mature reading...like Interior Castle. I tried reading that during Lent but gave up. Maybe I will try again this Lent.
Funny you should mention Hertha Pauli. I found a little book on my shelf entitled Silent Night by her.
Thanks for playing!
Looks impressive indeed!!!
Love,
Mom:-)
