Sure, I'm not a fan of being unable to pray or attend Mass but I also know that it's sometimes beyond my control. I don't partake in doing all the devotions, either. Thank you for your concern though; it's much appreciated. :)Melissa Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093144784715438143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738564385955889206.post-58249644219218419542015-01-01T06:52:39.805-08:002015-01-01T06:52:39.805-08:00I was reading on another Blog Page that you are ex...I was reading on another Blog Page that you are extremely disturbed that you physically can't or are unable to accomplish all of the devotions or masses or other prayers that you think that should be done. You are exactly correct. Jesus loves you. He resides in you through your baptism. He wants all good things for you. He knows every single thought that you have. He knows the desires of your heart. Consider a very hard thing. Spend quiet moments alone with Him. Speak of your love for Him. Say the simple prayers with great love. Thy Will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. I am not some expert. I am just another creature who desires to love and serve Him as He Wills.

You are a very busy girl. I commended you for your public witness. I feel drawn to tell you that it's okay not to do every devotion. Love Jesus with every keystroke. Be the love of Jesus with every smile. Do what you can well with love. Ask for Our Lady's help. When you can, be still and know that He is God. I apologize for going on. My best wishes for a great new year. Love and Fiat, Dave C.
