Update on Accident & Other Absurdities

Sorry for the lateness in posting. Now that my dh is out of work and we no longer have health insurance, I have been trying to get prescriptions for my FMS from my doctor's office as I was advised to do by our parish nurse; however, they have no free samples, but have promised to check the drug company programs. I called a local Catholic clinic and they need prior records from a doctor I have seen only three times and need me to fill out forms, etc, etc. Then, in about ten years from now, I will probably be able to get in, but they have only one of my three prescriptions. I have contacted my chiropractor to see if they can see me at a reduced price...still waiting for a call back. My doctor's office (who can't see me because I have no health insurance) told me that I need to relax, rest, and take ibuprofen for pain, get an ace bandage for my sprained wrist, and soak in epsom salts and in a few weeks, and I should be feeling better. I've decided to go on vacation from doctors for awhile. I think I'll go watch an old movie....a comedy, preferably. Actually, I think I need to see Michael More's new film, "Sicko". I'm not a big Michael Moore fan, but I can certainly relate to this film.

    I've read (can't remember where now) that humor can be healing. Get all the humor you can! We'll all be praying for you, too.

    Thanks for your prayers, ladies.

    Margaret Mary,

    Yes, that's true. I have had chronic pain for many years and have done research in that area and have even written about it.

    Comedies always help me.

    We went to the grocery store tonight and rented out a DVD. However, someone removed the DVD from our cart and we weren't able to watch it. We had to report it as stolen.

    God bless you both!

    Dearest Jean,

    You have been through so much lately! God must surely love you to send you so much suffering! I know this isn't the first time you have had to deal with this craziness, either.

    You moved to KS for Bill's dream job and now you're faced with unexpected unemployment. poverty, and medical problems, accidents, no health insurance, little support there.

    I know you know all about suffering and have encouraged me and been there for me through similar times in my life. You are one of the strongest people I have ever known. You have been such a light in my life. I know He will get you through this difficult time.

    I will be praying daily to St. Joseph for you and offer every daily rosary for you. I will never forget your many prayers for me and how they brought the return of hope into my life. Your faith lifted me up from the darkness, dear one. And, God's grace will take you through this and let you rise above it. He's with you now, so be at peace, you are His beloved one.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Image
Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

St. Raymond Nonnatus, Patron of Expectant Mothers, Midwives, and Newborn Babies

Image
The saint of the day for August 31 is St. Raymond Nonnatus. He is the patron of expectant mothers, midwives, obstetricians, infertile couples, and newborn babies. Raymond was born at Portella, Catalonia, Spain in 1204, the son of wealthy parents. He was delivered by cesarean section when his mother died in childbirth. Hence his name non natus (not born). In his childhood, he seemed to find pleasure only in his devotions and serious duties. His father, sensing that Raymond was drawn to religious life, ordered him to manage one of the family farms. Raymond readily obeyed but spent his time with the shepherds and workers, studying and praying until his father abandoned the idea of making his son a worldly success. Raymond later joined the the Order of Our Lady of Mercy or the Mercederians, which was founded by St. Peter Nolasco, who devoted to ransoming Christians captured by the Moors. He succeeded Peter as chief ransomer and went to Algeria to ransom slaves. He remained as hosta
