A statue in the Cathédrale La Major in Marseille shows Saint Rita of Cascia. Many believers have lit a candle for their prayers. They hope for and believe in the support of the saint.
I love bees ... my prayer is:
Please let our buzzing friends grow in numbers and bring joy to our lives, and life too our gardens. 🐝🐝🐝
Now where would we Bee without our little insect friends buzzing here and there pollinating plants?
Furthermore, tiny yellow bundles of bizziness darting too & fro busy collecting the pollen to make delicious honey for us to enjoy.
Without our tiny stripped buzzing friends the world would certainly be a sadder place to live, if indeed we could without their help.
"ON A WING AND A PRAYER"
Lend me your wings buzzy bee,
let me sample the floral delight,
with these wings I'm buzzing and free,
and buzzed on my inaugural flight.
Poetry by Sean.
Just a little poem to accompany my little image, hope you like it.
'Background information'
Actually this honey bee hit my kitchen window and fell to the path, it seemed stunned so I helped it onto a cape daisy flower to recuperate.
Popped inside grabbed my camera and there we have it, good news the bee flew off minutes later. 👍🐝😇
Love and Peace everyone!
Keep safe and well.
Jesus worship song | Learn How to Pray to God | "True Prayer"
Introduction
True prayer is speaking your heart’s words to God.
It’s based on God’s will and His word.
True prayer is feeling, oh, so close to God, as if He’s in front of you.
True prayer means you have much to say to God,
your heart is radiant as the sun,
you feel inspired by the loveliness of God, those who hear are gratified.
True prayer will bring both peace and pleasure,
the strength to love God rises up, the worth of loving God is felt;
and all of this will prove your prayers are true.
True prayer is not about formality, not procedure nor reciting words.
True prayer doesn’t mean to copy others.
Speak your heart and be touched by God.
True prayer is shown by a heart that yearns for what God Himself requires,
the will to fulfill in obedience and to hate all that God dislikes.
Woah … woah … woah … woah …
If your prayers are to be effective, God’s words are what you must read.
And only by praying amid God’s own words will illumination be seen.
And upon the basis of which you have knowledge,
all truths that God says are clear,
having strong faith and a way to practice.
Only this is a prayer that’s true.
Yes, only this is a prayer that’s true.
True prayer will bring both peace and pleasure,
the strength to love God rises up, the worth of loving God is felt;
and all of this will prove your prayers are true, are true.
Woah … woah … woah … woah …
Yeah, your prayers are true.
Woah … woah … woah … woah …

Interesting to go through these old photos from a year ago. Feels like I was just there. Hard to believe sometimes that I saw these things, any so much more, with my own blue eyes. Lucky me. :)

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart - Gandhi

Have a happy weekend :)
Quando il linguaggio accarezza la vita, nasce una poesia; quando la vita accarezza il linguaggio, nasce una preghiera.
(Mauro Parrini)
Please pray for my brother-in-law, Brian. He became a parapalegic 15 years ago in a mountain-bike accident. Today, he was out riding quads with my nephew and he hit a ditch and flipped over the handlebars. He laid there for a while until my nephew discovered him and got help. He's in the hospital with at least a broken collarbone. They're going to do a CT scan to see if there's anything else wrong.
I hope it's just his collarabone, but you can imagine how disabling a broken collarbone is to a parapalegic. He needs all of his upper arm strength and such for transferring, etc.
This is a shot of Brian's dog Aravis. The best dog ever.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

Prayer knows no place. Prayer knows no time. Prayer means surrendering to Allah. Everyone's fate will be decided by Allah & when the sinners ask for forgiveness Allah may forgive them.

Dennis the Menace: Prayers & Graces
By Michael Vance
What are little boys made of? Frogs and snails and puppy dog tails. And don’t forget the sling-shot. Dennis hasn’t forgotten his since 1950.
Hank Ketcham fathered the tow-headed superstar of comic strips and books, television, movies, and hard- and paperback collections forty-three years ago. When considering Dennis’ potential for success, few must have thought he even had a prayer.
Now, Dennis The Menace has a prayer.
This collection of prayers, blessings, and table graces is Ketcham’s newest children’s book, “Dennis the Menace: Prayers & Graces”. Written for “young parents who’re looking for guidelines to start their children off in some sort of theological direction”, it explores a side of Dennis that’s made the eternal six-year-old more believable.
Be honest with yourself. Charlie Brown is just too philosophical and morally squeaky-clean. He’s really Buddha in a kid suit. And this new kid on the comic strip block, Calvin, is a bundle of raw nerves just waiting to explode. But Dennis is unrelenting enthusiasm that translates into unintentional mayhap as he explores life.
Neither devil nor angel, Dennis the Menace is EveryBoy. It is the secret of his world-wide popularity.
This comic disguised as a children’s book is a collection of Dennis’ cartoons interspersed with short devotions for young children. It’s the sort of book parents and grandparents read to kids snuggled on their laps just before bed. And it is wonderful.
There are often deep philosophical undertones to Dennis’ simple observations. Charlie doesn’t hold a copyright on philosophy, after all. They bring a stillness to adult hearts.
Dennis throws a ball straight up. He catches the ball as it falls back. Dennis is playing catch with God. There is no better definition of Faith.
Dennis prays, “God, we thank you for this food, for rest and home and all things good; for wind and rain and sun above; but most of all for those we love”.
We add: that includes Dennis.
“Dennis the Menace: Prayers & Graces”/64 pages, $5.99, John Knox Press/available in books stores.
A wall of prayer wheels goes all around the town. As they turn, the wheels spin out "Om mane padme on".
