"God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer; to know that he loves me, that I have been created for greater things." Mother Teresa
The Myozen-ji temple at Ogimachi, with its gasso-kuzuri ("constructed like hands in prayer") roof. The “Kuri” (living quarters) of the temple was constructed about 230 years ago and is unique because of its thatched roof, which might be the largest in the village.
The Prayer Book of Bonne of Luxembourg, Duchess of Normandy (before 1349), attributed to Jean Le Noir (French, active 1331–75), and workshop.
Here's one of the tiny flowers which grow on my Prayer Plant, nearly all year long.
It's about 1/4 in. Behind it you can see the Prayer Plant leaves, looking very huge in this macro. (The Prayer Plant is a house plant... sorry, this doesn't mean spring is here! At the moment it is nearing 0 degrees F outside, which is -17.7C.)
The focus isn't all I wanted. But I still like it. I don't know when another of these flowers will present itself in a position where the slanting sun will hit it, and it will show against the leaves. So I am just posting this one.
The faithful light votive candles and pray to the saints in the alcoves of Barcelona's Gothis cathedral. I wish each prayer and candle is fulfilled in mercy and love.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER
"We come, O Lord, these Autumn days,
With hymns of gratitude and praise.
Harvest of gold the plains adorn,
Rich fruits roll forth from Plenty’s horn;
Thou givest treasures from the rocks;
The little hills are clothed with flocks;
The seas are with their burden white,
And new Thy mercies day and night.
For changing seasons as they go,
For Autumn leaf, for Winter’s snow,
For the green verdure of the Spring,
For life in plant and life on wing,
For Summer with its ripening heat,
For hopes the rounded years complete,
For morn and noon, for night and day,
For light that marks our heavenward way;
For all the blessings of Thy hand,
For freedom in fair freedom’s land,
Pursuits of thrift that bring us wealth,
For schools and churches, peace and health,
For commerce, yielding up her stores,
Brought for man’s use from distant shores;
For countless gifts, O Lord, we raise
Our hymns of gratitude and praise.
Thou settest man in families,
And all his wants the earth supplies;
Of children, be they far or near,
Of children’s children gathered here,
We thank Thee for Thy gracious care,
And lift for them the secret prayer,
As clustered round each social board
We eat and drink, and praise the Lord."

I am one who believes in the collective power of prayers. I believe the Angels walk with us and hear our words. Some of you may remember me posting a picture of Tiger, my neighbor's cat, who likes to hang out in my pasture tree. He was a sweet, shy, loving kitty with a wonderful sense of humor. Today, another neighbor's dogs killed little Tiger. He was just shy of his first birthday. It was an ugly thing that happened and Evan and I had to get his body from the dogs. We buried him in our pasture. I am asking you to not only say prayers for Tiger, but, my main request is for the little girl who was Tiger's person. Almost two years ago this little girl lost her dad in a car accident. She is a shy girl who doesn't speak much since her dad's death. Last Christmas, her mother got her a kitten, Tiger. This little girl has lost a lot in her life and this is no exception. I have spoken with the owner of the dogs. His answer was that the cat came on his property. I understand that, however these dogs have killed other animals on their property. They hunt them as a pack. Don't get me wrong, they are sweet dogs doing what dogs can do. However, you can train them what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. I did point out to the owner that if you curb such pack mentality in your own backyard, if they were to ever get out, they won't cost you liability. Sometimes legal terminology can go a long way. I have yet to speak to the mother of this little girl because they are out celebrating trick or treats. I really don't have the heart to ruin that. I will speak to mom, privately, in the morn. I assure you we gave Tiger a proper burial. I sang the songs from our tribe and asked St. Francis to embrace him on the other side. Please pray that the Angels are there for this little girl, with all their strength and love right now. She will need it. I will never forget what happened to him, but most, I won't ever forget the sweet little guy with the wonderful sense of humor. I will miss him deeply myself. Thank you for any and all prayer for him and for his little girl.

this was taken at the Monserrat Monestary in Spain this last May-they have a beautiful area inside a cave, where they have their prayer candles-we lit candles here as well to say prayers for loved ones-but looking at this image today if I were there I would light them for all those affected by the Tsunami-it's so sad and devastating-my heart goes out to those affected and many prayers are being sent your way...
