Prayer before Internet access / Pentecost

-

I've re-read some old posts, and found this good old-fashioned style, prayer to focus my mind prior to the "journey" into the wilderness that is the Internet.
Prayer before logging onto the internet: by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

LISTEN
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
**************£
I listen  and pray  for  grace to be able  to  carry  the message  into my life, my vocation .  I'm ... well.... 

*€*€£*&*¥** Quote  
 Forget if only…
“This is the life you’ve been given by God. Live it fully.” Reads one of two quotes I keep on my puja. The second reads, “Whatever you do let it come from a place of love.” 
The  Perfect  Servant  article = What do I have  to  complain  about .

All Saints day. FIRST DAY OF NANOWRIMO National Novel Writing Month Begins... Please support all the would be, aspirational, delusional, methodical, random, enthusiastic novelists and archivists who attempt to (and sometimes succeed) in documenting 50,000 words (or more!) in November.  THANK YOU to 31 Days!   I had a struggle to write daily, my not planning anything particular was a definite issue. I have much to learn about how a Blog works, how to make it work well, and how to ... probably things I do not know I need to know yet. I found new people to read this month. http://mjsmentalmusings.wordpress.com/ http://scrapper123.blogspot.com/ http://amaliagoleanu.blogspot.com/ ALL SAINTS DAY   HOLY CARD DATA REGARDING - Here.

St. Bruno-------October 6

6th of October I enjoyed learning about Blessed Raymond yesterday. Thought I would tell story about Saint Bruno today then and see if he is as interesting to know. I am not thinking of much to tell about me. and feel like just zoning out on an Inspector Morse episode. AM Monday waking up with radio as usual. Readings and christian commentary on the news. Now though, looking carefully at my to-do list and hoping to move forward on it. A lovely pile of reminder papers on my desk. **Story**** I should be doing other things, so, I will give you the story of St. Bruno of Cologne as I figured it out. He was another administrator, behind the scenes person, and prefered a solitary contemplative life. Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030 – 6 October 1101), the founder of the Carthusian Order, personally founded the order's first two communities. Because of the "customs" involved within  Carthusian practice , Bruno was never officially canonised. Bruno is the patron of Calabria an

Hurting Feet and 32 years of Blessings

FYI: Just a couple days a week posts will be a more doable goal I think. Sunday or Monday & 'mid-week,' Nevertheless,  here is a composite post. re: Tiredness & some more about my history. So, I DO KNOW when to quit working. I decide, remind myself to care for my health, then 10 minutes (OK 30) later, I'm still standing here on hurting feet, squinting now (took glasses off when I told myself to stop earlier). Y, I walked away & took a break, lay down for a 15 minute rest that turned into an hour and a half nap. Tom does Not approve of Camera.  I feel so much better after a rest, yet I am still upset somehow that I need it. (It is Extra isn't it? to Nap is to be weak maybe?)  It's been, .. UM let's see, 1985, that would be.... 32!  32 years I've been 'only' tired.  Before they removed the tumour, I got to be tired with nausea and dizzy spells and seizures and mood swings. (OK so maybe the mood swings didn't entirely go away,
