Monday Musings

A few random thoughts and ponderings to start the week...

Our family vacation has begun. So, I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone: Whenever you travel, do remember to plan for Mass. Stay near a church. Find out the Mass schedule. Plan your trip accordingly. People go to great lengths to find a vacation spot that has all of the comforts and luxuries they expect when relaxing, but most important should be our plan to celebrate the blessed Sacrament as we would on any other Sunday. Don't leave your faith at home when you travel. It should be the first thing you plan for.

Since I'm not near a computer this week...and since prayer is always a good idea... I'll finish by just posting a quick prayer for travelers:

O Almighty and merciful God,

who hast commissioned Thy angels 

to guide and protect us,

command them to be our assiduous companions

from our setting out until our return;

to clothe us with their invisible protection;

to keep from us all danger of collision, of fire,

of explosion, of fall and bruises,

and finally, having preserved us from all evil,

and especially from sin,

to guide us to our heavenly home.

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
