OH HAPPY DAY! 
Just Received a third class relic of Blessed Margaret of Castello given to me by the St. Patrick Church in Columbus Ohio.
Si Blessed Margaret ay pinanganak na kuba, pilay, bulag at meron din siyang sakit na dwarfism. Sa sobrang pangit nya, tinago lang siya ng kanyang mga magulang at kinulong siya sa bahay ng 14 YEARS! Pinapalabas lang siya tuwing magmimisa or kung kakausapin siya ng mga Dominikano na nahabag sa kanya. Pero kahit na ganun, hindi siya nagalit sa Diyos. Naging mabuti pa din siyang Kristiyano at naging mabait sa mga taong nakakasalamuha nya. Hindi sagabal ang mga KABADTRIPAN SA BUHAY para sa sisihin ang Diyos at mag-pakasama. Dapat sana gamitin natin yung mga kapestehan sa buhay na paalala na KAILANGAN NATIN ANG DIYOS LAGI.

Oh St. Joseph!

Oh St. Joseph, I throw my worries into your hands. You know the feeling of being in a difficult situation. You know the meaning of anxiety and helplessness. You were anxious too when you learned that the woman betrothed to you was in a dire condition. But with a great faith, you trusted the words of the angel and left everything to God, always believing that He will never abandon those who trust Him.. So I implore thee Blessed Joseph, be with me in this time of worry and sadness. Knowing that my prayers would also be yours. I trust that you will whisper my petitions to HIM who once obeyed you as a father here on earth. Amen.

For Our Lady

I bought an Icon today from Liturgica. The Icon of the Gate of the Sky (portaitissa).
I haven;t had it pictured yet. But it is similar to this one.

The scar on her face.
Given by those who hate her.
Hate the veneration that she deserves.
May the scars on her face forever remind us.
That if we put our shields down.
If our swords will rest to their sheaths.
More scars will be delivered to her Immaculate Face.
