The History of the Advent Wreath
The Advent wreath is part of our long-standing Catholic tradition. However, the actual origins are uncertain.

Please use all your resources to help stop the September 21st execution of Troy Davis, a man who may very well be innocent! You can help by signing the petition on Amnesty International’s website, tweeting with the tag #toomuchdoubt, and even contacting the White House and urging the President to commute his death sentence (the only single person with the power to do so)!...

Standing In the Need of Prayer
Keep this going … Heavenly Father, walk through my house, and take away all my worries and any illnesses, and please watch over and heal my family and friends.

My Prayer Diary
Have a specific prayer request? In need of prayer? I have started a prayer diary. Message me or leave me a note, and I will be sure to add you and your request. I promise to pray faithfully over your request and pray that God’s Will be done. Everything is kept confidential. I encourage all of you to keep prayer journals or diaries. It’s a wonderful experience.
