My heart is broken. My husband Mark died tonight. He had a tear in his aortic valve but then other parts of his body fell apart. I don't know how I'll go on without him.
Please pray for my husband Mark who is fighting for his life. He had an aortic tear and after 5 hours of surgery things aren't going well but they are working hard to save him.
Prayers please. I've been in a hospital in Barcelona, Spain for 3 days with diverticulitis. The infection & inflammation are not improving. If things don't get better, they will consider high risk surgery that involves a colostomy. Thank you for any prayers.
Praise God! My white blood cell count was 15,000 yesterday-no improvement in 3 days. This morning it's at 12,000 & 11,000 is normal. I don't know what that means but I recognize the math.Thanks 4 the prayers. Blessed! Husband took pic in Zaragoza yesterday
Grieving the loss of my husband, he knew gathering so many children and grandchildren would be complicated so he gave us beautiful May days. Jesus, I trust in you.
My husband, Mark Armstrong, was bigger than Life. His life and legacy lives on in our 10 children & everyone who knew him. At the beginning of his wake, even the sky cried, pouring down rain. At the end, as people left church there was a double rainbow.
As we went to my husband, Mark's wake, it poured as if even the sky was sad. As people departed the church, they beheld a double rainbow. My meteorologist brother later explained all the atmospheric conditions required for this which makes them so unusual.
Mark, my husband, was truly a unique character. Our eight sons and his only remaining sibling. I'll picked out something from his closet to wear to the wake.
Happy Saint Joseph, the Worker Day! In Spain where I am and throughout much of Europe, it is a national holiday, celebrated much like our Labor Day only better. I prefer Saint Joseph as a patron for such a celebration.

Happy Columbus Day or Indigenous People Day? Columbus arrived in the new world facing horrors few could comprehend. Natives of the Carib/Cannib tribe raided villages and stole women for sex slaves. When women gave birth the babies were eaten. Christianity ended this evil,
The screen capture from Saturday morning Mass on May 11 shows my husband and me going to communion. It was our last Mass together because God took him home at 11:45 PM that night. Mark wore his Faith on his sleeve and often on his shirt. Can you guess which one he is?
Been in hospital w/ diverticulitis, but I'm finally improving. My husband' called the church across the street & a priest came to give me communion and a
Anointing of the Sick. He knew zero English so I called Mark to help translate. What a world! Mark took a screenshot.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our guard against the wickedness & snares of the devil.May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan & all the evil spirits seeking the ruin of souls.

Jesus Christ performed his first public miracle changing water into wine for one reason--his mother asked him to help someone. The Bible clearly shows the power of asking for Mary's intercession. I take his Mother with me.

My own mother-in-law made snotty comments, but as the kids got older, both were in awe at our wonderful families. Go on the offensive: do you think one day you will regret it if this child finds out how you felt about him/her? You are looking at today I'm looking at eternity…
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family.
Happy Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, Our Mother. We can always go to her with everything and she takes it to her Son Jesus just as she did when Jesus performed his first miracle in the New Testament.
Praise God Roe has been overturned. Keep praying for the unborn, conversions of heart and protection of our courageous

June is the month we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, his blazing and redeeming love for us. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Praise you!

Instead of PRIDE,Catholics dedicate June to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for His merciful heart redeeming love. Pride is original & worst of the 7 deadly sins, the source of the other capital sins.

This is Adam Vena. He has lost custody of his son in California, because the mother decided the boy was really a girl. At the age of 2.
Adam spoke out against this, and the authorities consider that abuse. He now has a 5-year restraining order forbidding him from talking to his

It's always such a disappointment when the priest is lackluster. It's nice if instead he has a great personality and is a dynamic speaker. But that's not why we go to church. We go to receive Jesus and spend time with him. That is something the Protestant church cannot give.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened."
The body of the Mother of God was not buried on this earth. Unlike other saints, there are no relics left behind. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
