To send this card: St Barnabas
To read the Full Joynotes June 11
Quote for the Day: Reading is good, hearing is good, conversation and meditation are good; but then, they are only good at times and occasions, in a certain degree, and must be used and governed with such caution as we eat and drink and refresh ourselves, or they will bring forth in us the fruits of intemperance. But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly...given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.
William Law Quote from the book, "101 Inspirational Stories of the Power of Prayer"

Note: If you have not been getting JoyNotes messages and you are using either AOL or Bellsouth and a few others.... they have updated their Spam Controls and JoyNotes is apparently a victim. I will leave this message up for a while.. because a lot of folks are wondering. Also for many people on these systems.. it doesn't work for me to email you back.. because my emails are blocked. So if you have another email address you might want to subscribe on that one.
Well once again - I waited until late to do the JoyNotes - so brain is fried and over easy.... not a good source for anything that even resembles a trace of spirituality - except for this spiritual quote which comes to mind sometimes when I think I would rather go to bed than do much else.
"The Lord will make you prosperous, even while you sleep." I always throw that out into the conversation sometimes - to kind of put us work focused folks into a different reality.
May you be richly blessed by Saint Barnabas today!
Blessings of Peace and all Good, Sister Patricia
Day Six
Memorare Novena Petition: For all those who are addicted and for those who suffer with them.
Pray Nine Times: Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
