COMING HOME
BECAUSE HE LIVES
When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls. Her husband, entrusting his heart to her has an unfailing prize. Proverbs 31:10-11
Mother of God
Father, source of light in every age, who is called Wonderful God, Prince of Peace. May her prayer, the gift of a mother's love, be your people's joy through all ages. May her response, born of a humble heart, draw your Spirit to rest on your people. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.Prayer from the Mass for January 1, 2005

MOTHER OF GOD
WE OFFER ADORATION,
PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING TO GOD
Thank you God
for Samantha Jane Schuchman
and her life.
Birth of Mary
Father of mercy,
give our people help
and strength from heaven.
The birth of the
Virgin Mary's Son
was the dawn
of our salvation.
May this celebration
of her birthday
bring us closer
to lasting peace.
Grant this through
our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns
with you and the
Holy Spirit
one God,
for ever and ever.
Amen
When you are before the altar
where Christ reposes,
you ought no longer to think
that you are amongst men;
but believe
that there are
troops of angels
and archangels
standing by you,
and trembling
with respect
before the sovereign Master
of Heaven and earth.
Therefore,
when you are
in church,
be there in silence,
fear, and veneration.
Saint John Chrysostom
St. Theresa Prayer
This is a powerful novena.
Prayer is one of the best free
gifts we receive.
May today
there be peace within
May you trust your highest power
that you are
exactly where you are meant to be ...
May you not forget
the infinite possibilities
that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts
that you have received,
and pass on the love
that has been given to you ...
May you be content knowing
you are a child of God ...
Let this presence
settle into our bones,
and allow your soul
the freedom to sing,
dance,
It is there for each
and every one of you.
This picture represents St. Therese, The Little Flower of Jesus,
gathering the hearts of "little souls" who will offer themselves as victims of the merciful love of Jesus. These hearts she presents
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
who offers them
to the Sacred Heart
of her crucified Son
in union with the sacrifice
of all the Masses offered.
Following is the text
of the Little Flower's offering
of herself as a victim
to the merciful love of God:
"In order that my life
may be one of perfect love,
I offer myself as a victim
of holocaust to Thy Merciful Love,
(O Jesus),
imploring Thee to consume me
unceasingly,
and to allow
the floods of infinite tenderness
gathered up in Thee
to overflow into my soul,
so that I may become
a very martyr of Thy love,
O my God! May this martyrdom,
after having prepared me
to appear in Thy presence,
free me from this life at the last,
and my soul
take its flight without delay,
into the eternal embrace
of Thy Merciful Love.
"O my Beloved,
I desire at every beat
of my heart
to renew this oblation
an infinite number of times,
'til the shadows retire',
and everlastingly I can tell Thee
my love face to face." 
BLESSINGS! 
O good holy Nicholas,
you who brought joy to children,
put in my heart the spirit of childhood
about which the Gospel speaks.
Teach me how to sow
happiness around me. Amen.
