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.
Here is an excerpt from my latest book due to be published by the end of the year:
PRAYING THE PSALMS FOR THE UNBORN CHILD
Copyright © 2011 by John P. Gross. All rights reserved.
In all the psalms Jesus or His Church is praying to the Father [1].
Psalm 13
Prayer for Help in Trouble.
Christ on the cross.
Lord (God), why have You forsaken Me (Jesus) (13:1-2)? Answer Me, O Lord (God) lest evil overcome Me. Make Your presence known to Me at this hour of My death (13:3). Otherwise the wicked will rejoice in their victory (13:4). Yet, the devil will not prevail because I have trusted in the Lord's (God's) mercy (loving kindness). I will praise Him for the kindness (bounty) He has shown Me by restoring my life (salvation, i.e., resurrection) in His great mercy (13:5-6).
1How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
3Consider and answer me, O LORD my God;
Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
4And my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
5But I have trusted in Your loving kindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6I will sing to the LORD,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
Prayer for Life: Dear Lord, I feel so alone. I need to feel Your strength if I am to get through this pregancy. Yet, I know that things will work out because I trust in You. In the end, I will praise You for saving my soul and my baby's life. Amen.
[1] St. Athanasius 682.

Click here to read the book for FREE.

Be sure to check out Father Ron Camarda's "Tear in the Desert." It's one of the most spiritual books I have ever read!
"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)
