God of my life, I welcome this new day, It is your gift to me, the first day of the rest of my life.
I thank you for the gift of being alive this morning.
I thank you for the sleep which has refreshed me.
I thank you for the chance to begin life all over again.
Lord, this day is full of promise and of opportunity, help me not to waste it away.
This day is full of mystery and of the unknown; help me to face it without anxiety.
During this day, may I become a more thoughtful person, a more Prayerful person, a more generous and kindly person.
Lord, bless this day for me and for us all.
Amen

Prayer
What is Prayer?
Prayer is the raising up of mind and heart to God.
How do we raise up our mind and heart to God?
By thinking of God; by adoring, praising and thanking him; and by begging of him all blessings for soul and body.
Do those pray well who, at their prayers, think neither of God nor of what they say?
Those who at their prayers, think neither of God nor of what they say, do not pray well; but they offend God, if their distractions are wilful.
Which is the best of all prayers?
The best of all prayers is the 'Our Father' or the Lord's Prayer.
Who made the Lord's Prayer?
Jesus Christ himself made the Lord's Prayer
Say the Lord's Prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive those who trespass against us; as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
In the Lord's Prayer who is called our Father?
God is called 'our Father'
Why is God called 'Our Father'?
God is called 'our Father' because he is the Father of all Christians, whom he has made his children by Holy Baptism.
Is God also the Father of all mankind?
Yes because he made them all, and loves and preserves them all.
Why do we say 'our Father' and not 'my father'?
Because being all brethren, we are to pray not for ourselves only, but also for all others.
When we say, 'hallowed be thy name' what do we pray for?
We pray that God may be known, loved, and served by all his creatures.
When we say 'thy kingdom come', what do we pray for?
We pray that God may come and reign in the hearts of all by his grace in this world, and bring us all hereafter to his heavenly kingdom.
When we say 'thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven', what do we pray for?
We pray that God may enable us by his grace, to do his will in all things as the Blessed do in heaven.
When we say 'give us this day our daily bread', what do we pray for?
We pray that God may give us daily all that is necessary for soul and body.
When we say 'forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us' what do we pray for?
We pray that God may forgive us our sins, as we forgive others the injuries they do to us.
When we say, 'deliver us from evil', what do we pray for?
We pray that God may free us from all evil, both of soul and body.
Should we ask Angels and Saints to pray for us?
We should ask the Angels and Saints to pray for us, because their prayers have great power with God.
How can we show that the Angels and Saints know what passes on earth?
From the words of Christ: There shall be joy before the Angels of God upon one sinner doing penance'. (Luke 15:10)
What is the chief prayer to the Blessed Virgin which the church uses?
Hail Mary.
Say the Hail Mary.
Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed are you among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Who made the first part of the Hail Mary?
The Angel Gabriel and St. Elizabeth, inspired by the Holy Spirit, made the first part of the Hail Mary.
Who made the second part of the Hail Mary?
The Church of God, guided by Holy Spirit, made the second part of the Hail Mary.
Why should we frequently say the Hail Mary?
To put us in mind of the Incarnation of the Son of God; and to honour our Blessed Lady, the Mother of God.
Have we another reason for often saying the Hail Mary?
To ask our Blessed Lady to pray for us sinners at all times, but espcially at the hour of death.
Why does the Catholic Church show great devotion to the Blessed Virgin?
Because she is the Immaculate Mother of God.
How is the Blessed Virgin Mother of God?
Because Jesus Christ, her son, who was born of her as man, is not only man, but also truly God.
Is the Blessed Virgin our Mother also?
The Blessed Virgin is our Mother also because being the brethren of Jesus, we are the children of Mary.
What do you mean by the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin?
We mean that by power of God, Mary, at the completion of her life was taken body and soul into everlasting glory to reign as Queen of heaven and earth.
Is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin an article of Faith?
Yes because it has been solemnly defined by the infalliable authority of the church.

Prayer for Children
Oh God, make me a better parent. Help me to understand my children, to listen patiently to what they have to say, and to answer all their questions wisely and kindly. Keep me from criticizing them so that they can learn from their strengths and weaknesses. Keep me from making all decisions so that they can learn to solve problems. Keep me from interfering so that they can develop responsibility.
Yet, help me to have the courage to refuse giving in to what will harm them. Help me to appreciate my children as they are, not as I would have them to be. When I grow discouraged, remind me that my child is Your child also. You abide in us always- sheltering us in Your care, surrounding us with Your goodness, and enfolding us in Your love. Amen.

Prayer: Reconciliation between Spouses
Until now, Lord, separation was something that happenend to someone else, anyone else, except me. Yet here I am, my mind full of details of separation, and my heart full of pain. If this separation is a mistake, guide my spouse and me toward the reconcilitaion which will allow us to work toward a successful marriage. Although it seems difficult now, I know that we can work toward reconciliation if we remember the love that first brought us together. It will not be easy, but the home and life my spouse and I have built together might be able to be restored if we both are willing to try again. Guide us, Lord, with Your love and grace at this difficult time. Amen.

Prayer when expecting a child
Father, we thank you for your marvellous gift; you have allowed us to share in your divine parenthood. During this time of waiting, we ask you to protect and nurture these first mysterious stirrings of life. May our child come safely into the light of the world and to the new birth of baptism. Mother of God, we entrust our child to your loving heart. Amen.

Prayer of a Single Parent
It is late, Lord, and yet I sit here, trying to rally strength for tomorrow. I feel burdened as a single parent. The pressure of juggling work, home, school, and sitter schedules leaves little time. Somewhere in the middle I am lost, a wheel with a hundred spokes, each pulling me and demanding comfort, support, and attention. I am weighed down with guilt about the job I am doing. Refusing demands for materials things is difficult, but refusing for my time is worse. Give me the courage to persist in this difficult task of parenting. Make me realistic in what I expect of myself and others. Nurture me and love me, Lord. Let me know You are with me in all my stumblings, in all my days. Bring me and my loved ones through these hard times so that we may find happiness and peace. Amen.
Prayer for the Gift of Child
God our Father, all parenthood comes from you. Allow us to share in that power which is yours alone, and let us see in the child you send us as a living sign of your presence in our home. Bless our love and make it fruitful so that a new voice may join ours to praise you, a new heart to love you, and a new life to bear witness to you. Amen.
Prayer for Financial Difficulties
Dear Lord, I have been taught that money is not what is most important, yet money is often a problem in my life. These latest financial difficulties are particularly hard. Help me to use money wisely - to resist buying what I do not need and to stop comparing my possessions with those of others. Grant me what I need in this life, so that I may care for myself and those dear to me, with enough to share with those less fortunate. Amen

BFP on Mother's Day! How I get conceived this month?
Thanks be to God and Praise God Alleluia!
Finally, I have BFP after trying to conceive for 2 years plus. No words can express my feelings. I have tried so many things to improve my fertility, from charting to supplements and even acupuncture but every month just ended with disappoinment. I know and I understand how does it feels like when everyone asking when are you planning for a family or how painful it is to see our others getting pregnant in just months after wedding. 2 years plus might not be long but the disappinment for over 30 cycles are really exhausted.
I have been sharing my good news to some of my friends and family and I realised that there are really a lot of couples facing the same problems. To get pregnant is not really easy, imagine the precious egg just live up to 24 hours on each cycle.
I wish to share what I did differently this cycle. The only thing that I did differently is consume the milk powder from the Milk Grotto. Two of my lovely church member brought back this Holy milk powder from Bethlehem for both my husband and I to consume. This is actually the rock powder from a place called Milk grotto in Bethlehem. It is said to have helped thousands of couples to conceived. It is called milk powder because, the whole cave turned into white after a drop of milk of our Holy Mother Mary when she is nursing baby Jesus at that time. This place now has become one of the famous pilgrimage spot in Holy Land. There is also petitions box for prayer request. Thanks to my church member who remembered me and put both my husband and my name there for prayer. I believed the prayer has helped me to conceived. Thank you mama Mary for your intercession, my prayers answered immediately!
Both my husband and I consume the milk powder right after they reached home and it is about a week since they went to the Milk Grotto. Another week, I got a BFP when I tested on Mothers day! I thought it would be another disaapointing month because I feel the menstrual cramps for few days like I used before. I even cried on few days before I tested because I thought I didnt conceived on that month. We are supposed to follow the charting of the BOM NFP method which I observed that our best time to conceived is the day of Easter. Well we missed it but managed to did it after Easter. I really thought that this month is the impossible month as my husband was preparing for his baptism on Easter Vigil. Well, maybe things come when it is least expected as what people said.
I would also like to share some of the tips to boost the fertility or increase the chance of getting pregnant.
1) Understand your body
Highly recommend BOM (Billings Ovulation Method). The rythm method that we used to calculated based on average cycle are not so accurate. I suggest every couple must attend this one day course. In Catholic course, every couple will need to attend this course as one of the lesson in the mariage course. I missed this and I also tried for this method, the third month I conceived. This method can be used for irregular cycles and accuracy for the estimation of ovulation is >90%. This method gives you a simple science explanation on how our reproductive system works and both you and your husband are able to understand more. You can find the nearest catholic church and ask the office about this, they have BOM teachers and it's free. Or you can locate the nearest hospital, some country does provide this course.
2) Take supplements and vitamins for both husband and wife
For Her: Folic Acid, Royal Jelly, calcium
For Him: Folic Acid, Zinc, calcium
Royal Jelly is highly recommended because it helps to improve the quantity and quality of teh cervical mucus. Cervical mucus can help the sperms to swim and needed for the sperm to stay longer.
3) Go for a holiday and relax
I have not tried this coz I ahve been too busy but I believed this helped our hormones and body system system to function well
4) Pray and meditate
We must have faith and trust in God. You have done your best, God has a plan for you. Maybe it is not the best time for you to have a child or second child, third child. God knows what is best for us. However, we must not stop asking, instead we must thank Him and praise Him for everything we have.
I hope my blog gives a little help to those who trying to conceive. I wish your prayers will be answered soon. I pray for all of you everyday. Those who wish can giive me both your hudband and your name, so that I can pray specifically for you and lift up your name in my prayers.
God bless you.

Way of the Cross - First Station: Jesus is condemned to death
Leader: We adore Thee, O Christ, and bless Thee.
All: Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Jesus, you stand all alone before Pilate. Nobody speaks up for you. Nobody helps defend you. You devoted your entire life to helping others, listening to the smallest ones, caring for those who were ignored by others. They don't seem to remember that as they prepare to put you to death.
As a child, sometimes I feel alone. Sometimes I feel that others don't stand up for me and defend me when I am afraid. Sometimes I don't feel like I am treated fairly, especially if I am scolded or corrected.
As an adult, sometimes I feel abandoned and afraid as well. Sometimes I too, feel like I am treated unfairly or blamed for things unfairly. I have a hard time when people criticize me at home or at work.
Help me be grateful for what you did for me. Help me to accept criticism and unfairness as you did, and not complain. Help me pray for those who have hurt me.
My Jesus, often have I signed the death warrant by my sins; save me by Thy death from that eternal death which I have so often deserved.
Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory Be to the Father....
Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.

Ash Wednesday (Fast and pray)
This is the first day of the forty days of prayer and fasting commonly called Lent. This feast is celebrated on the Wednesday in the 7th week before Easter.
This feast falls on different days depending on the date of Easter.
Jesus also was led by the Spirit into the wilderness and He was tempted by the Devil for forty days there and in those days he ate nothing (Luke 4:1).
Moses also fasted for forty days to repent for the making of the Golden Calf by the Israelites.
Jesus did this fasting before starting His ministry.
On Ash Wednesday Catholics between age 18 and 59 are required to observe fasting by consuming one full meal or two small meals that should not equal to one full meal.
Persons whose health condition does not permit fasting are exempted from fasting. Abstinence from meat and other non-vegetarian items should also be avoided on this day.
In some countries Christian celebrate the previous day of Ash Wednesday as Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday, when they eat pancakes consisting of fatty food items.
On Ash Wednesday Catholic Christians attend church services in the morning. The priest ash is imposed in the sign of a cross on the forehead of every faithful.
When applying the ash on the forehead of every faithful, the priest used to say that ‘Remember that you are made of dust and you shall return to dust’ or ‘Turn away from Sin and believe in the Gospel’.
The ash for the ceremony was obtained by burning the palm leaves used and blessed during the previous year’s palm Sunday and kept in the houses of the Catholic people.
Dusting with ashes is a way of expressing repentance and sorrow for one’s sins and faults.
We can study in the Holy Bible the practice of using ashes for repentance and mourning in many places especially in:
Samuel 13:19, Esther 4:1, Job 2:8, Daniel 9:3 and Matthew 11:21.
Ash Wednesday is celebrated on various dates in February and March. The dates of celebration of Ash Wednesday for the next 10 years will be:
13th Feb 2013
5th March 2014
18th Feb 2015
10th Feb 2016

14th Feb 2018
6th March 2019
26th Feb 2020
17th Feb 2021
2nd March 2022.
The earliest Ash Wednesday occurred on 4th Feb, 1818 and it will occur on 4th Feb again only in the year 2285.
The latest Ash Wednesday occurred on 10th March 1943 and will again occur in the year 2038.
Very rarely Ash Wednesday occurs on 29th Feb, in the leap year. It will occur again the year 2096.
Ash Wednesday is celebrated by catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Methodist and Anglican churches.
