LET US PRAY...

As many of you know, I am an author of Catholic prayer books. One of the best ways to know Jesus more intimately and show our love for Him is through prayer. Prayer keeps us focused on the spiritual life and opens a channel for grace so He can make His presence known to us.

Linda writes:

"'The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven: A Remarkable Account of Miracles, Angels, and Life beyond This World' ... is a wonderful story and a true story about a 3 yr who was very sick and saw God. His father is a pastor and he wrote the book."

BTW...

Amazon is selling a blasphemous book about Our Lady of Guadalupe, "Our Lady of Controversy: Alma Lopez's Irreverent Apparition." If you are as much offended by this book as I am, please send this online petition to ask that Amazon pull this book from its website.

Thanks!

Here is an excerpt from my latest book due to be published by the end of the year:

PSALMS FOR LIFE ROSARY
Copyright © 2011 by John P. Gross. All rights reserved.

Psalm 3 (Morning Prayer of Trust in God.)
Jesus, the blessed man of Psalm 1 in conflict with society in Psalm 2 prays for protection 1. His prayer is our prayer.

1O LORD, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2Many are saying of my soul,
"There is no deliverance for him in God."
3But You, O LORD, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4I was crying to the LORD with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain.
5I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God!
For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongs to the LORD;
Your blessing be upon Your people! 2

Evil surrounds Jesus (and us) (3:1), His enemies say that God will not help Him or those who believe in Him (3:2). God is our shield (3:3) and is always listening to our prayers (3:4). Whether asleep or awake, He will protect us. (3:5) No matter the strength of the enemy (fallen angels 3 (3:6), He will defeat them (3:7). God is our salvation and He bestows blessings on His people (3:8).

Prayer for life: Jesus, the unborn are being attacked by the wicked just as you were attacked. I know you hear my prayers. Give me the strength to have this baby. Support me through my pregnancy and bless me for saving my child. Amen.

"To me, today at age 61, all prayer by the humble or highly placed has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best impulses which should bind us together for a better world. Without such inspiration we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish." Walt Disney (Source: startedbyamouse.com)
