Clarification and Faith

Clarification comes when a clear opening of heart allows the pathway of light to be visible to the spirit and with desire this can be accomplished. Faith is not the beliefs of others but the connection that allows our spirit to have truth and knowledge that will bring forth the advancement of understanding of our ways from God. Trust, belief, loyalty and devotion brings a unity that focuses heart and mind on his ways.


Prayer for the Day:
Heavenly Father I trust my life to you. I know you have a wonderful plan for me. Each day the excitement of the coming of your ways brings me closer to you more and more. This is my faith.

Thank you Father for your love,
-Sr. Dominica Marie, OPD


Comment for the day:
Feel peace, like the breeze of the wind, the warmth of the sun and the waves of the sea all given from the love of our Father to know faith. My beloved, strive with all your might, with every effort of body And soul, to behold this true light, so that you may be able to return to the source where it shines in all its brightness. Long for it, pray for it, do all you can with all your strength you can summons. Entreat those who love God to help you. Cling to those who cling to God, so that they may draw you with them into God. May our loving God help us to attain this.
-Johannes Tauler, OP

Prayer is the Strength of Our Community

Prayer
The devotional method of communicating with God for the desire of goodness from within the silence of the heart and knowing through prayer and faith he answers all in his time.

Contemplata aliis tradere (to give to others the benefits of one's own contemplation): not only an absorbtion in God but a return from him, and with him, into the lives of others.
-Fr Damian Byrne, O.P.


Comment for the day:
Many avenues are given to instruct our direction from the heavens when our hearts are open without question and prayer comes to spirit a connection of the heart brings love, for when three or more are in prayer and connected he will be within their spirit to guide their ways to bring peace to those who are prayed for.

Come join community for together we will form God’s army of love that will storm heaven daily.
-Sister Dominica Marie OPD

Verse
If you take time each day to pray, play, work, laugh, love profusely, and to thank God with all your heart, you will always have a day to remember. -Virginia J Ruehlmann

Love and Community

One Reaction to The Warmth of Love Ministry
We've all been touched by illness in some form or another either personally or through a loved one or friend. In speaking with Sr. Dominica Marie, one day about my cousin who has cancer, she told me of the “The Warmth of Love Ministry”. The ministry makes blankets for those suffering from illness. This is a little background of the Ministry: “The Warmth of Love Ministry” began when a group of kind and loving women looked beyond themselves to help those suffering with llness. Their own life experiences of watching loved ones struggle physically, mentally and spiritually with illness and disease brought them together. Since work and other obligations prevented them from being with their loved ones at all times, they decided to crochet blankets for them as a reminder of their presence in thought and prayer. From this humble beginning a ministry developed. “The Warmth of Love” now makes and distributes blankets to anyone who comes to them with a request for an ill family member. These blankets bring warmth and comfort to those who are suffering. This simple act of kindness and the knowledge that others pray for them and care about them is received with gratitude and sometimes tears by the recipients as well as their families. If you are talented in the art of knitting or crochet, the ministry would be more than happy to take a donation of a completed blanket. They also appreciate donations of unused yarn for members of the ministry to use in making a blanket or donating yarn, please contact Sr. Dominica at WOL_Ministry@hotmail.com
It was truly moving when I gave my cousin his blanket. He was so touched by the thoughtfulness and the prayers, words could not express.
