Betty and Michelle,
Glad you stopped by
Michelle, I hope you had a wonderful harvest festival, three boys, right? It is really wonderful to come here, and I do believe I am in a much better place from daily prayer and the Sisterhood. I cry every Friday, it feels like Spiritual Release, and earnestness of prayer. I am so desiring of miracles for others, and asking from the depths of my soul for others puts me in the place I used to love when I was performing volunteer work. These were truly happy days for me, when I was an active Brother in Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity at Virginia Tech. We used to do Chapel Sits so others could come in and pray, so we would keep it open. I particularly liked handing out Food staples to those who needed help. We would get up at 4 AM (not the fun part,) and as a team, box, and hand out large quantities of food. There is nothing like service for others, be it physical or spiritual. I look forwards to our prayers tomorrow, 6 AM is not far off for you!
sweet dreams all.

Good evening sisters,
I had a good chat with my 3rd sister who had just landed in Toronto from London (she and her DH went there to attend brother-in-law's funeral). Anyway, long story short, my sister had left me a bag of "Hand-made Rosaries" that were made by the Parishioners at her Church (I can't remember if the Rosaries had been blessed by the priest or not, but will check with her). Well, I told her that I have a bunch of Catholic sisters on this thread and some of them do not have a Rosary.
So, if you'd like a Rosary, PM me with your address and I will mail you one as a gift. These are not really fancy Rosaries but they were made with Love.
I love coming here too because you have inspired me to search for prayers and pray them together with you all. And like how several of you had said, we have this special bond with one another here and our prayers are thriving, Lord Jesus, please keep this group loyal and strong.
Amen!!

oh Paula,
What a sweet gift I will PM you, and I used my fingers today
I was just popping on here to share a psalm before putting my head on my pillow.
Lead me in the right path, O Lord....
Make your way plain for me to follow.
Psalm 5:8 NLT

Good night Traci (squid) and sweet dreams

Sisters...
Sorry to have missed prayers last night. 2nd chemo went off yesterday without a hitch (thanks be to God). Since I only got about 2 hours of sleep the night before I was pretty wiped out by the end of the night so went to be early today. First couple of days are usually uneventful for me (at least first tx was), so I'm hoping for the same this time around. I'm assuming things will start to hit Monday or so and for 4-5 days after. Husband leaves for out of town tomorrow, so I'm hoping things don't get too bad...God willing.
Thanks for prayers yesterday. I really felt them. I again prayed over the treatment before it was hooked up to my IV. It really seems to do wonders for me to place my hand on them and ask for God's blessings of love, healing and curing to be upon them. For years I've always prayed over whatever meals I am making for family, friends etc while preparing them. (still do to this day) It was something my mom always did, and in so asked for blessings on all who were partaking in the meal etc. It just seems appropriate to do the same with something else that is being put into my body.
Diamond Girl-thank you for posting the prayer for during treatment as well. It was most comforting for me to be able to say it I also prayed my St. Jude novena during treatment and made it for a short walk last night so I could say my daily rosary and lift you all up in prayer as well.
Well off to try and get some breakfast in me and to get in my walk and rosary.
I don't have family here with my physically, so I thank you ladies for being my family and support. God bless you and protect you.
Tori
DE COLORES!

Tori - so glad you did well yesterday. I'm sure you will be fine while hubby gone. If you want well-check phone calls once a day while your husband is gone let us know - we could do a 'phone circle.'
Michelle - I do not want to miss the appointed hour - could you post that again so I can stick a note on my frig?
Traci - I really like the 'make plain the way' reference. I'm finding it hard to just go back to the same routine. Been praying for guidance about how to use the rest of my life.
Thank God for sending us to each other! Cancer isn't going to kill me - it's all the worrying that will do me in!!! Remembering to anchor myself in faith is the only way to overcome that. Our little group helps so much.

Tori ~ You are very welcome
! First I want to personally thank you for the rosary that you are saying for our group and that I'm glad that you tolerated your chemo well. Like Janet said, even if your DH is out of town, you've got us here and I am also suggesting that we do a round the clock phone check on you. I know how it's like without family around. My DH used to have to do a lot of international travels and they spanned 21+ days each time. I once had a reaction to medicine and my children were just 2 and 7 yrs old. Luckily I had a girl friend who did a phone check on me after I told her about my situation. It's just a simple precaution but it made me feel better, I don't think my daughter would know what to do if I passed out. So don't be shy and take us all up on it, okay?
Traci ~ you said that "I'm so desiring miracles for others...", I think that by you being a leader on the Friday prayer is a small miracle in itself. I've never attended Bible Studies (still haven't) and I've never belonged to a prayer group (I am NOW ~ this lovely one) and a sincere thank you for encouraging us all to meet here.
I need to ask for a prayer for me to concentrate studying my National Licensing Exam (so far I've postponed 4 times, due to various reasons) and I haven't really studied. I will need to pray that I will concentrate on it (because I'm having a hard time concentrating). The exam is Oct 19th and I am thinking about postponing again. Yikes! I might need to slow down coming onto this thread so I can get more time in studying
Have a wonderful day y'all ~ xoxo
God Bless!!!

Good Morning Ladies,
Paula,
I have never been in bible study as an adult nor any group prayer, so this is a new beginning for me too. I believe in the energy of collective prayer, and so I know that we can get it to a level of "shout" when we come together at the same time. I'll tell you the history of the word "shout" for me. I do love gospel music, and found a concert with Walter Hawkins on my Comcast On Demand before prayers last night. You can hear the soul and spirit in the choir, goose pimples!
Anyhoo, I went to a concert years back at Constitution Hall in DC. The choir was 80 strong, and they came out singing somewhat softly, but it was lovely. This went on for about 15 minutes, and I was a little bummed that I wasn't more into it. I was sort of drifting off in my mind, then all of a sudden we went from 40 mph to 120! BAM! we were up and running, and at full Shout mode. No one was yelling, they were just pulling deep and bringing the music tenfold. I was woken up very quickly, then noticed about 15 people scrambling to move back to the perimeter of the theater, and it was a group of older audience members that had to move because of vibration not the noise. It was so very beautiful. Now how did I get on this topic?
Yes, prayers for your exam Paula. Since October 19th is not far away, what do you think you are capable of, especially during Rads? Just be kind to yourself...I'll pray for what supports you the best, and if you are going for it, we'll pray you right into it and through the test.
Tori,
I'm very glad that you slept last night. We held you in our prayers, and we are here for you. We will be right here with you, and I sincerely hope your SE's are minimal. I will look for a guardian Angel prayer, and I think we had one awhile back. Paula is becoming our historian
so she may know as well. I did read a few psalms about Angels last night, so I'll post them soon. o.k., I'll be back, my dog is giving me the furry eyeball

A Mass offered this morning for BCMomof3

HI ALl,
I missed last night because of a special event I was working, we raised $27,000 for scholarships for needy students at our community college. I was at the event from 8 AM to 9:30 PM but at 8PM while the last of the speeches were being made I said an Our Father, 3 Hail Maries and a Glory Be and figured God knew what the prayers were on our thread. I came home, took 2 Tylenol PMs and next thing I knew it was this morning 8 AM. THis ole body poops out a whole lot quicker than before BC.
Hugs to all,
Pat

ESTEPP!! I am so sorry for the LE. UGH!!! I lit a candle for you this week at our chapel off the main Church. I prayed for all others intentions, and FACECRAFTER, hoping the rads silliness ENDS!
My family (3 kids - 7,10 and 14) prays the Rosary Monday nights. I read in a book called "The Relaxation Response" that prayer to anyone or anything, evokes a very physiological change. Its scientifically measurable. I started this Rosary night to teach my kids to be mindful of using prayer to deal with the stress in their lives. Then afterwards, my whole family raises their hands to me and "sends" me their positive feelings to help me with my healing. It's been a really wonderful practice in my otherwise hectic house.
I am all in for the angel stories!! I have a few cool ones too ....love to have someone lead off!!

Pat: LOL my body poops out way too soon also, and I know God checked you off as present to our prayers last night. :-) That's a wonderful thing you did.
Apple: Beautiful.
Paula: National Licensing Exam for what? Nurse? EMT? God bless you. Five months out of treatment, I don't think I'm sharp enough to study for anything. But you are probably younger and stronger than I am. How many rosaries do you have? I have many rosaries but if there are enough for the group, wouldn't it be nice to pray on those rosaries as a group (not necessarily at the same time) knowing that we all have the same? Kind of a "karma" thing?
Traci: Shout! That's perfect. I think our coming together for prayer time is a big shout in heaven.. the more voices together in prayer, the clearer God will hear us. Gospel music is great.
I'm a cradle Catholic and this group is the closest to Bible Study I've ever had. I love it.
Janet: Amen!
Tori: So happy to hear you're doing well. When I didn't see you post yesterday, the Mother Hen in me started to worry. Rest definitely had priority for you. My voice is with the others, keep posting or we can call. We are all sisters.
We heard from my DH's sister in WA. They keep missing each other's phone calls. She said Dann had his first treatment yesterday and she was so frustrated with him because he went out and played 16 holes of golf! That sounds like Dann. I have a feeling his body will *make* him rest very soon. It sounds like he's in someone of denial about his cancer. I hope DH can finally reach her by phone so we can find out what's really happening.
Cute story of the day: It was my oldest grandson's first day at CCD, so DD and I dropped him off at the church for his class -- he's 2nd grade, so they're studying for 1st penance and communion this year. When we picked him up, he was all excited about what he learned. As we were driving, they were eating McDonalds and the oldest, Christian, finished his first so he asked the youngest for the rest of his fries. Liam said NO. Then a couple of minutes later, he changed his mind and gave Christian his fries. I said "Liam, that was a very nice thing for you to do." Christian said, "Yeah, we learned about that today, when you share your food with others it's like sharing with Jesus." Liam said, "Mom, I didn't give Christian cheeses." :-) Becky and I had a good laugh and told him Christian didn't say cheeses, but Jesus.

To All. Per usual I'm late, but I have said all the prayers through he last five pages. and the novena. Little late on that one too, but getting it done.
Squid I never commented on the THinness story. I wish we all could experience it directly, perhaps that sounds selfish. It would be such an easy fix to the soul. I know faith should take us there, and that is why we are here in collective faith. But at this moment so many are hurting for either themselves or others. I suppose one could read a crisis in faith at the moment. Thats not true, as all here bring such strenght and hope and acceptance that are prayers can lead to miricales.
I supposed I should continue to draw the belief of Divine Intervention from the story of the priest who came to us before Gregs death. Wrong room, not on the list, who answered our deepest prayer re: the funeral Mass. Then he turns out to be the pastor of the church, we weren't practicing at. I know there is only one Guiding Hand that caused it to happen.
There have been moments here ---Rose woke Up. You and I know how rare that is. I hope your dad has had the same response---has he had surgery? Did I miss that?
Hope you are feeling better.
BCMOM3. May God keep you in the hollow of his hand. As well as Dana, Jannine and everyone who is in a very serious way.
To the Lurkers --we prayer that you find strenght , peace, love, solace, and health. For those that may become angered by any posting here because it may seem blasphemous to you. I pray that you let that melt away from your heart. Join us in the collective prayer even if you choose not to post. The novena TO Mary of Guadalupe will soon draw to a close.
TO all thinking about the retreat. Apple et all-I've already forgotten, Sorry short term memory loss because of head injury--- Please, check out facilities, how many can they accomodate, cost, lead time on reservations. There are such great shrines, mentioned. We should pick a target month--past the snow time if possible. With a connection perhaps to a Feast day of significance to what we are collectively praying for.
MMM5 Michele Thank you again for the work on the novena and intentions
I need to get ready for Mass , I will keep everyone here in my intentions
Namaste, L&H, and Faith Sheila

Apple,
I am so glad you held mass for our Dear Sister BCMomof3, we have many souls in need right now. I am wondering how your brother is doing? He continues to be in my prayers.
Michelle,
While dealing with your own problems with LE, you also have several dear friends who need our prayers along with yours. Bridget, Facecrafter (how it she?) and Rose.
Janet,
Make plain the way...I do understand where you are coming from. I too feel like now is the time, I now truly understand my life is not permanent here. I have been brought to a place of seeing my mortality, sooner or later. I feel a sense of urgency, and am fine with it. I think if we listen with open heart, we will hear.
Theresa,
I am keeping your SIL's husband in prayer as well. I appreciate his round of golf (must have had her in fits!) b/c we know what may be in store. Sounds like something I would get up to. Do you think that was the steroids talking? These are tough times. Such a cute story about Christian Cheeses! I hope he doesn't worry about eating cheese from now on
Geewhiz,
The Relaxation Response sounds wonderful. I am thinking about getting it. I have chronic pain issues, that certainly would be better if I would let myself relax. I know prayer has been great for me, in that I do slow my breathing, and let the essence of God within move around. (If that makes sense.) Do you want to share your Angel story first? I am all ears, and can certainly share one, but would love for you to share!
Pat,
Sounds like a very successful fund raiser. I pray you will start to regain your energy, it does take a long time. Anytime you can rest, please do so. When we pray where we are, you are right with us. Do you have an upcoming surgery that I saw in Michelle's list of intentions?

Hello all,
Theresa ~ My exam is for National Mortgage Broker license, this is a new requirement that started because of all the mortgage turmoil. The new registration requirement stills leaves a major gap in loan officer licensing. While banks, brokers, and non-bank lenders will all now be registered in the system, only brokers and non-bank lenders (typically called "Direct Lenders") are also required to also have mandatory education, including pre-license education and yearly continuing education.
Mortgage brokers and non-bank lenders are also currently required to take mandatory federal and state tests to obtain their individual license, have criminal background checks, and their personal credit reports reviewed, while bank loan officers don't.
I've been licensed for years but everyone will have to take this exam or forfeit the license. The exam is slotted for 180 minutes and it covers all the Rules and Regulations so there's quite a lot of information to study. Even though I know them, there are so many trick questions on the exam. I must be careful and I find my memory lacking due to fatigue and stress.
I've completed my 4th rads yesterday and 29 more to go. I just hope that I can hold up for this exam. If I flunk, then I will have to wait 30 days before taking another, and I must pass this exam before Dec 31st. The sooner I tackle it, the better because if I leave it to November, there's not enough time if I needed a 2nd chance.
About Dann's round of golf, good for him. I think he misses his golf and if he will start his therapy his energy may not be there later on. So while he can still enjoy himself, why not? I understand why your sister was upset but if you think in Dann's perspective, a round of golf is not going to break him either. Let the guy enjoy what he likes. My 2 cents
Sheila ~ I totally think that yours was a special Divine intervention, there's no other explanation. That's a lovely encounter to treasure. Embrace it
Traci ~ I so agree with Sheila about Rose's waking up. Divine intervention indeed!!

Wow, we are on page 100 !!! Yay !!!
Forgot to mention these in my last post.
Think on Wednesday or Thursday (Oct 13 or 14), Hoda of NBC Today shared that she also battled breast cancer and she's thriving. They showed a picture of her in the hospital room after surgery with a pillow across her chest and she was pale. Look at this lady now, we definitely got something to look forward to when all our treatments, SEs, pains and worries are over. I want them to be over.
I will share my Divine Intervention story. That was April 1999 when Michael was a week shy of 2 years old. He had contracted pneumonia from a kid in his day care. I had previously complained to the principal that there's this little boy who's always wearing a green snot by his nose and it did not look healthy. I thought that I could go back to work and didn't mind paying $700 a month for that (it was in Orange County California). Before you know it, he was always sick on Fridays and would spike a fever. We had a really great pediatrician and I asked the doc what else can be wrong with this child. His lungs were always clear. So he sent Michael for a chest xray and from there we went straight to Children's Hospital. Initially just treating him for his pneumonia which was like the size of an egg at the tip of his lung. After several days of stay, IVs, antibiotic and respiratory treatments, he was starting to clear (although slow), so he was supposed to stay a couple of days longer. Well a worker forgot to disinfect the toys on the floor and Michael played with some that they deliver to the room, he got ROTA virus. At around midnight, he suddenly started hurling and having diarhea at the same time (no warning prior) and after the nurse cleaned him up the 2nd time, his color was starting to look real bad. I was just standing next to the bed, helping to catch whatever was coming out and the RN was just trying to clean, it was chaotic to say the least - and I saw Michael's eyes starting to roll backward. Out of panic, I started to draw the sign of Cross on his forehead and I rebuked the satin and asked Lord Jesus Christ to come and help Michael right away.
I promise you, what happened next is quite a miracle. Everything that was happening "STOPPED". The scene at that time while it was happening was like a scene from a scary movie. But calmness immediately descended. I didn't sleep that night not knowing if it may happen again. I embraced as my Divine Encounter.
Traci and Sheila~ I know you are both RNs, what do you ladies think? Michael was on IV while all of the above was happening, the nurse said that he was looking bad because although he had IV but the rate of what came out was much faster than what was going into his body. That was critical state.
I have alot more of my personal Angel story, I am Thankful and Grateful for their intervention and feel Blessed.
Amen!

Hi Sheila,
I am smiling because I need to check back many times, as we posted at the same time. I have been thinking about you today, and how you are feeling. I know what you mean about wanting to witness the thinness. So where does our faith come from? I hear other's faith, and I wonder, will I ever feel that strong? My worries are more about certain messages that I was taught, or I have read or heard, that I I know God is not about.The word of God has been misused to support certain agendas (in my humble opinion.) I always come right back to Jesus and his messages of love, non judgement, and acceptance of all. I have friends that are from so many spiritual backgrounds, to none at all. What's hard is when I see people who have turned away from God because of the belief that God chooses healing for some and not for others. Or that God is an angry God that meets out punishment. This is the point where I know I had to find my faith first. Believing that my God of understanding is a loving God. Go back to your heart, and listen. Listen in the stillness and the answer is right there. Look around you at the heart of people, and the beauty of nature and animals. See the God within. When there are people that intentionally hurt others then I give it over to God. When I see a child, I know I am seeing their true heart. It's life that can turn a person, and life that can bring them back. When a person is beyond my understanding, I have to trust the God understands.
So back to faith. The Priest that came to see you, yes, he was sent. I smile because when my heart "hears" your story, the answer is clear. We may not get to look up one day, and catch a glimpse of Angels in conversation, or witness a loved one who has passed. Many have however, and I enjoy their stories. Paula has passed from this world momentarily, and can share this with us so we are not afraid. My grandfather shared this with me as well. That's why I am so drawn to Angel stories too, because I want to believe.
I do have my own personal story, that I am trying to think how I can share it. It happened back in 1996. She appeared to me in human form, and it was a meeting where everything on paper seemed normal, yet there was nothing normal at all about it. I am still very emotional about it today.
I'll try writing it for you all..

Hi Ladies
Don't forget to mark your calendars for this Monday am @ 7am PST we will pray the 8th day of the Novena together while I lay our intentions at the feet of the image. I will be in the presence of the image for one hour and if you have time I hope you can pray with me during that time.
Traci was confused by your post, I don't' have LE but was praying for Laura who does. I am not sure who facecrafter is Please let me know ....so sorry if I have forgotten someone.

Paula,
Simultaneous posting once again. I was reading your story about Michael, when he was in the hospital. I hear a very distinct change in energy, and we can certainly look at the medical interventions, and all that was going on. But I still hear the change in energy, so for me that's the Divine Intervention that you felt. I tend to be less about negative energy, such as ill willed spirits...but that is also a fear of mine. Big fear since childhood..but I do absolutely embrace the love of a mother for her child, and your experience. What can I say, but you just know something very different is happening, that stays with you forever.
I will tell my story, and I knew that something very different had just happened, and I never forgot it.
I worked for two years in research, after leaving bedside Nursing. I honestly did not like working with the Big Pharmaceuticals, and it was not fulfilling for me. I did get to help start up an ALS clinic at the same time as my research role, so that was basically helping hold me, as I really cared about these patients. I was constantly being called by the Big Pharm companies to fax data, and I had to go to another building to fax,copy etc...then go back to the hospital and collect more data from the patients charts for the research part of my job. Sometimes I would help the nurses to provide care for the patients enrolled in our stroke studies, as a way to feel more like a nurse. Then I would get a message to fax such and such by 5:00 PM as if it was the greatest emergency ever. A paper emergency. But I didn't care about paper, I cared about people. So I was in great conflict.
One day, I walked over to the NCCU (Neuro Critical Care Unit) to borrow a 3 hole punch. I knew the Nurses there because I previously worked on the floor that accompanied the NCCU. So I was chatting was a Nurse I used to work with, and saying how my life had come down to searching for a 3 hole punch. Not very uplifting work. My Nurse friend was working with a young Asian woman who was in a coma. I will explain later why I identify Race and ethnicity in my story, as it has a purpose. So the Nurse and I were chatting a bit, and there was an older African American lady at the bedside of this young woman in a coma. The African American woman was dressed in a glittery gold top and black pants (yes, this is important too:) and it was daytime (not a clothing judgement swear!) I noticed she was listening to our conversation, and she seemed interested in me. A very kind interest, where she really wanted to know more about me. I sort of stammered about how I missed being at the bedside, and how I knew the Nurses there, and how I was now just a paper pusher in my opinion. She was looking right at me and nodding, very engaged, and smiling as though she had known me for a thousand years. So gentle, yet smiling a bit at me and my frustration. Her smile was so much about her complete acceptance of me, and knowing my complete essence, my history, and my soul.
I was aware that she seemed different to me, but I kept up light conversation. I asked her how she knew the patient in the bed, and the woman looked down at her in a very loving way and said "I'm like her mother." I saw that she seemed to be keeping watch, and clearly had a motherly concern for this young woman. She said nothing more, but turned around to me again, asking me more questions about my job as a Nurse. She was just so interested, and I felt that she deeply cared about my answers. I then said that I needed to go meet a deadline (paper emergency again,) and turned to leave. I gave everyone a quick so long, and I took my three hole punch and walked out the door, to hear "psssttt!" I turned back and saw the lady standing in the doorway, looking at me smiling, and she said "follow your heart!" I thanked her, and turned away, and then the tears started to roll down my face. A few months later I went back to bedside Nursing, and followed my dream of becoming and E.R. Nurse. I had to leave in 2005 due to my physical injuries and surgeries after battling endometriosis, but I had not regrets, and miss bedside Nursing to this day.
I feel I met my Angel that day, and it was only in retrospect that I started to look more closely at what was out of place that day. I had a friend who gave me a "reading" the previous year, and I of course wanted to meet my Angels. We were laughing about my character, because she said during my reading that my Angels conveyed they knew I would like them to be dressed in glittery gold so I would recognize them if they ever came to me. I thought back to the woman I met in the NCCU and said to myself, well that was a showy outfit for the daytime...not that she was putting on airs so to speak, but that her outfit really caught my eye that day, and was glittery gold.
Then I thought about what she said...I am like a mother to her. Not I am her mother, or I am her adopted mother, but I am like a mother to her. And she looked at her with a deep love full of concern. I remember this look clearly. We were all clearly of different race and ethnicity, but all seemed familiar somehow. The young Asian woman, the African American Woman, and myself, Caucasian of Irish/Welsh descent.
Then there was the way she smiled at me. She was not mocking in any way, just looking at me with the patience of a parent that said, I know you very well my child. And I knew right away, that I was very very moved by her presence. That I had perhaps met an Angel, my Angel? But she felt like she was not from my time, not of this world, and she chose a form that while fitting in, also had enough "differences" between us, that I could see how we were joined together.
It was years before I could tell that story without crying, and this was mostly after several glasses of wine. I don't drink anymore (how happy is she for that, I cannot tell you) but I really think I met an Angel that day, and it is very clear to me today, as it was almost 15 years ago. Whenever I say "follow your heart," I am saying it for her, and to honor her words to me.
and that was the day I met an Angel.

Hello sisters. So many good stories to ponder! I don't know how to begin to respond to each one - but I read them faithfully. I did take a look at our statistics. There have been 2,996 posts on this thread, and 28,115 views. So, there are many who drop in. I hope they find our open hearts when they visit and feel welcome to join us in prayer.
Michelle - will definitely be on 10 am EST Monday morning. Thanks for the reminder.
Paula & Traci - thanks for posting Fri nite prayers - I did BOTH of them last night!
Paula - for next week, could you change the title of the prayer I submitted to "A Prayer for the Cause/Cure"?
Apple - I feel so humbled & comforted that mass is offered for us.

Michelle,
Sorry! That was me having chemo brain. Drat! I meant to say Laura's concerns for LE and facecrafter, and then it's your friend Rose who has had a miracle since you have been praying.
