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.
--------------------------------
A correction...
Last week Linda recommended "The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven: A Remarkable Account of Miracles, Angels, and Life beyond This World," a book about a boy who was very sick and saw God. Looks like there are two books at Amazon about boys who came back from the dead and described heaven.
Joyce writes:
"John, let Linda know she has the wrong book.... She (is referring) to the 6 year old who goes to heaven after an auto accident. His father is a psychotherapist. The book she's talking about is called 'Heaven is for Real.' It's the one about the 3 year old whose appendix burst. His father is the Pastor of a Wesleyan Church. I just finished reading the book on my Kindle and we're going to be discussing it at our book club."

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 4
Agony in the Garden
Evening Prayer of Trust in God.
1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach?
How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception?
3But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself;
The LORD hears when I call to Him.
4Tremble, and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in the LORD.
6Many are saying, "Who will show us any good?"
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O LORD!
7You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.
8In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety. [1]
Jesus is asking His Father to help Him in His distress (4:1). How long will we ignore Jesus because we are so distracted by the glamor of worldly things (4:2)? But God will answer the prayers of Jesus, His Holy One [2] (4:3). Jesus admonishes us to think about what we are doing before God, to not sin, and to examine our conscience in silence as we lie on our beds (4:4). Be willing to sacrifice to do what is right and trust in God (4:5). We ask for good things and beg Him to look kindly on us (4:6), for we are happier than those who take delight in material success (wine and corn) (4:7). For we feel safe and at peace in the hope of dying and rising again (lying down and sleeping) as Jesus did [2] (4:8).
Prayer for life: Lord, I am willing to abandon the ways of the world and make the sacrifices necessary to give birth to my baby. I trust in You and know that by doing the Father's will, I will experience a joy greater than any pleasure the world can offer. 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)
