Saint Joseph, Pillar of Families

I didn't use to pray novenas.  I always thought that praying directly to God was better.  But I read this passage from the Bible: "The continual prayer of a just man availeth much." - James 5:16 I thought of the matter more and now I see that novenas are a humble way of praying.  It is asking those closest to Jesus (and holiest) people who walked the earth, to pray for me. This is not a new way of doing things as Moses intervened for the Jews when God wanted to punish them for making a bull with their own hands and started worshipping them.

A Circle of Fire



"I will be for her an encircling wall of fire," says the Lord.  Zechariah 2:9


The Lord allows us to live in the midst of uncertainty.   Many countries are under the threat of terrorism.  Some are in the middle of an ongoing war of drugs.  Some can have a nuclear missile dropped on them at any minute.

The Lord doesn't take away the threats in our daily lives.  It can be fear, bitterness, loneliness, sickness or poverty that plagues us.  

But His promises of protection are no small thing.  

"He will guard us, a shepherd guarding his flock"  Jeremiah 31:10

He will be for us an encircling wall of fire!

We cannot really measure God's power.  We can only see that nothing that plagues nor threatens us compares to it.
