              You are not a failure yet, and may God hear all prayers for you. It is no small thing to be a friend to a creature who NEVER had a friend in this world.

           Pray for the people of Jamaica - no country can be properly prepared for a storm like this. I plan to say a rosary tonight asking for protection for that nation. May God protect everyone on that island and in the seas nearby ! 
           Category 5 Hurricane Melissa has slowly started a northward component of motion -- moving Northwest at a walking pace of 3 mph. However, the storm will pick up forward motion overnight, and maintain intensity until landfall early Tuesday morning near Black River, Jamaica.

             When you think about yourself, you don't have to think just about your problems. You are free - your guardian angel and God Himself protect you! Here is something to think about - MAYBE you (& friends) are not as firmly on the road to Heaven as you would like. Or maybe you are!

             this is not a 'nature' poem, but it helps to know that the cuckoo has a plaintive mating call in springtime (as noted by Shakespeare), grapes are green in the cluster in summer, and that some birds spend a good deal of time gathering for their southward migration in early fall.

             Reasons not to binge watch shows that other people binge watch: Sopranos - does to the Mafia what Brady Bunch did to suburban families. Kitsch. Star Trek - community college actors in many roles. Watch a Shakespeare production instead. Most HBO shows - anti-Christian bigotry.

             Jamaica is about to be hit by what looks like will be a Cat 5 Hurricane. We need to pray HARD for these people, and for the animals who have no place to go.

             In the olden times, it was hoped that royal personages would be prayerful and full of fear of the Lord, and sometimes they were , sometimes to such a degree that they were genuine 'faith healers', as poetically stated here ... 
           (Macbeth,4. Act, 3. Scene, 159-169a): "How he solicits heaven, Himself best knows. But strangely visited people, All swollen and ulcerous, pitiful to the eye, The mere despair of surgery, he cures, Hanging a golden stamp about their necks, Put on with holy prayers.

             Today you have the opportunity to help someone who does not expect to be helped, or to pray for someone who may have given up hope. Today will never arrive the same way again; even in Heaven we will live in a newly created world (Revelation 21:1). So today is your opportunity.

             A good description from St Louis de Montfort (he was not by the way born in the aristocracy - his name was Louis-Marie Grignion and he was from Montfort)... 
           “The word Rosary means ‘Crown of Roses,’ that is to say that every time people say the Rosary devoutly they place a crown of one hundred and fifty-three white roses and sixteen red roses upon the head of Jesus and Mary. Being heavenly flowers these roses will never fade or lose
