MIRACLES ARE POSSIBLE!

MIRACLES ARE POSSIBLE!

Whenever you may need help in a difficult time ask for it to Saint Jude. He's the worker of miracles to those who believe. Pray this prayer 9 times for 9 days and he will help you in what you ask his help for.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, preserved and loved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us. Saint. Jude, helper of the hopeless, pray for us. Saint. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us.

Once your miracle happens and you finished the novena publish it for anyone who will read to know the power of Saint Jude. It works. You must promise publishing in order to spread the word!

Unhealthy habits.

Unhealthy habits.

Americans spend $117 billion on fast food each year, and $2.8 billion on Halloween candy, just to name a few of our bad-health habits. Other costly culprits include alcohol, tobacco and soda (or pop, as it’s known in my part of the country).

Sometimes our “wants”

Sometimes our “wants” are expansive and expensive, like an extravagantly oversized home or a luxuriously equipped SUV. In many cases however, our purchases may be as inexpensive as a fun, new ringtone. But, over time, they all add up.

Church Troubles.

Church Troubles.

Today, more people than ever before are choosing not to attend church. Maybe they simply don’t enjoy it, or maybe they haven’t been accepted into a church because of their lifestyle. There are a lot of different lifestyles that certain denominations have trouble with. One of the most common is the refusal to accept members of the LGBT community or views on contraception and abortion. Many religions teach that homosexuality, condoms, and abortions are sins, and that can be ostracizing to some. Thankfully, there are plenty of churches who accept people for who they are.

Some people

Some people may feel torn when they have a church service at 11:30 but their team’s football game starts at 12. Sure, you could always record it on the DVR, but that’s hard to do during a live game, and you will likely be tempted to check the score from your phone during the service. In fact, there is a real argument to be made that football is better at bringing people together than church is.
