All the boxes and bags made it safely home, and though there's still a bit of unpacking to do it is nice, nice, nice to be home.
And I don't know about you, but in my neck of the woods it's not only vacation season, but wedding season as well. It's a fun and special time of year, but I know that for a lot of young women it can be rather hard as well. Without her joy for her friends being in the least diminished, a girl can still feel a little bit wistful and wonder what God has in store for her.
But I've always been a proponent of praying rather than moping, and since I find I have a lot of praying to do, I'm going to be starting a 54-day Rosary Novena on Saturday, May 26th for our future husbands and I invite the rest of you to join me.
We did one of these late last summer, and it was beautiful to see how many of you committed to praying for the physical and spiritual well-being of your future husbands. He's somewhere out there right now, and even if we haven't met him yet we can help him with our prayers.
Will you join me?
I pray for him daily, but I'm going to try to pray more for him. Such a great idea :)
ReplyDeletegreat idea! i think i will also pray the novena... does it jsut consist of a rosary every day?
ReplyDeleteand also: beautiful dress, clare!! ;)

Yes, it's no more complicated than a daily rosary: 27 in petition and 27 in thanksgiving.
DeleteThanks, Hannah. God bless!
Definitely joining you! I loved the 54 Day Rosary last year and feel it's a wonderful way I can honour my future spouse even now. It's so important to lift the people in our life up in prayer, and just as important to lift up our future spouse in prayer, as they will become the most important person in our lives one day.
ReplyDeleteI've started the habit of a daily rosary -- what a beautiful way to keep up that habit during the summer! I shall definitely be joining. This is something I definitely need to be praying about, especially while discerning my vocation.

ps: Such a determined look Clare!
Clare,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'll be joining the rest of you ladies in the novena. It's hard sometimes to be patient waiting for God to bring the right man into my life but I know that every time I pray for him, my love for him only grows deeper. Until I meet him, I'll have to be content with visiting with him spiritually.
Marking my calender!
I'll be joining you as well. I find it is a wonderful way to force myself to start the daily rosary habit I've been trying to cultivate. And, praying for my future husband helps put everything in perspective: Christ is first, and He will bring my future husband into my life when the time is right. Thanks for doing this again! God bless!
