Prayer!
Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!
Now some of you Twi friends are going to think I have gone mad completely and so I ask you to bear with me here.
It occurred to me recently that some of you reading this blog, may be in trouble or know someone in trouble and feel you have nowhere to turn to for help. It is hard being a teenager today whether you have faith or no faith. Sometimes burdens weigh heavy on you.
You may not be Catholic or even religious at all. That’s ok. It takes all kinds of difference to make a world. I do not judge you, whom ever you are . The following is a prayer I know of. It does not matter if you are not of any faith, they are just words I like and thought you might like to share them. They are said in times of need and then published so that others can know of it and gain help too. You can change the words to suit your faith if you like. The prayer has never been known to fail those in need. And so for Haiti, for Louisiana and each and every one of you, who sit in fear or pain or despair today, a prayer to help.
Oh! most beautiful flower of mount Carmel, fruit of the vine splendor of heaven, blessed mother of the son of God, immaculate virgin assist me in this my necessity. O star of the sea, help me and show herein you are my mother. Oh holy Mary mother of God, queen of heaven and earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in this my necessity, (mention need). There are none that can withstand your power. O show me here you are my mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (x3) Sweet mother I place this cause in your hands (x3) Amen.
Never known to fail. Say for 3 days and then publish.
Take care of each other and see you next time for some more Twi gossip.

You are so beautiful.
I beleive in the power of prayer. Growing up catholic we I prayed not so often, but now that I have children we pray all the time, meals, and at bedtime. It is so sweet, innocent, uplifting, and helpful.

Thanks Mac,
Just been thinking how lucky I am and how others are no so lucky and of how words can be a comfort to those in distress. That prayer helped me and although I do not sit at Sunday service, I still visit the church when its quiet. Hows the book coming?
There will be days when u think of giving up - don’t. You can do this.
