♥ ~* Flowerchild *~ ♥
I began as a seed, and over the years you poured your love on me. Drip by drip, nurturing me with your heart, hands
and wisdom.
You have given me the strength to reach towards the sky and blossom to maturity.
Thank you God for loving me ♥

♥ Saint Philomena ♥
O, Saint Philomena, Virgin and Martyr, whom God glorifies by so many miracles, whom the Vicar of Jesus Christ has names Protectress of the Living Rosary and the Children of Mary, manifest, more and more plainly from the heights of Heaven, that a voice holy as thine cannot be denied and that we have the right to rely upon thine aid. Obtain for us the grace to be faithful to Jesus Christ, even to death. Amen ♥
0 Philomena, martyr maiden fair,
we love thee with the rose-wreath on thy hair!
Thou, clasping close thy green immortal palm,
plead'st strong and sweet for us in Heaven's calm
with Him who bids thee succour every need.
He says not nay when thou dost intercede,
then, mighty martyr, help us through life's race
and show us at the Gates of Gold, thy face. Amen ♥
"We're reaching for the stars and praying for an armful of Heaven." ~Me
St. David's Infertility Prayer
Thank you, Lord for all the blessings in my life. Help me to remember them as I face the challenges of infertility. I pray that I can surrender myself into your hands. Let me accept the reality of this situation and have the wisdom and courage to take action where I can. Strengthen my body, mind and spirit to endure the trials of infertility. Keep me ever mindful of the needs of others and grant us your peace. Amen ♥
♥Saint Gianna Beretta Molla♥
O God, who have said that there is no greater love than that of giving one's life for the beloved person, we thank you having given us in Blessed Gianna a shining example of true love and respect for life. Help us understand, to live and to spread this her message. Revive in all wives in the world the sense of their mission and the respect for every life which is God's gift, at the cost of sacrifice.
Give us the grace that we await and the joy of proclaiming Saint Gianna who, on the example of Jesus, has generously given her life for the life of others. Through Christ our Lord. Amen ♥
♥ Saint Rita of Cascia ♥
~ The Prayer of the Roses ~
O Blessed Saint Rita, my powerful advocate, behold me prostrate before thy Divine Spouse, Jesus, thy Lord, thy God, and thy all. Behold me recalling His favors to thee, that thou mayst plead for me. May this blessed Rose, sweet with the memories of thy daily acts of love before the image of the Crucified Savior, and of the wonders wrought for thee in thy dying moments, give me confidence that thou in Heaven wilt plead that I, too, may share in the good things God has in store for thy clients.
Saint Rita, mystical Rose of every virtue, pray for us ♥
- Saint Gerard -
O glorious Saint Gerard, powerful intercessor before God, and wonder worker of our day, I call upon you and seek your help. You who always fulfilled God's will on earth, help me to do God's holy will. Intercede with the Giver of life, from whom all parenthood proceeds, that I may conceive and raise children who will please God in this life, and be heirs to the kingdom of heaven.
Amen ♥
♥ Saint Therese ♥
Saint Therese, the little flower, please pick a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I ask and tell Him I will love Him each day more and more. Amen ♥

Life ain't always beautiful,
sometimes it's just plain hard.
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart.
Life ain't always beautiful,
you think you're on your way...
and it's just a dead end road at the end of the day.
But the struggles make you stronger...
and the changes make you wise.
And happiness has its own way of takin' it's sweet time.
No, life ain't always beautiful,
tears will fall sometimes. Life ain't always beautiful,
but it's a beautiful ride. ~Gary Allan

"My name is Melinda Gordon. I just got married. I just moved to a small town. I just opened an antique shop. I might be just like you. Except from the time I was a little girl I knew I could talk to the dead. Earthbound spirits my grandmother called them. The ones who have not crossed over because they have unfinished business with the living and they come to me for help. To tell you my story, I have to tell you theirs."

"Do not stand at my grave and weep...
I am not there
I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds
in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry...
I am not there
I did not die."
