There are people out in the world with fatal illnesses, car accidents, or terminal cancer without any possible recourse. People have done all that they can to get cured, and the doctors have given the patient an approximate date of death. This may not be you, but perhaps you have a relative or a friend who is in their critical and final phase of their lives.
I am not concerned about the age of the patient, but if you have a desire to try something that might work for you, then this is what I am offering to you. You can ask me to send you a vial of holy water that I can get from the Catholic church that I go to for services. Or, you may want to get it yourself in your part of the world.
When you get the holy water sprinkle, pour, or anoint the water on yourself or your loved one. I will provide it for you as a courtesy. You have nothing to lose by using it, and just go beyond your beliefs. If you are spiritual but not a religious person, that's okay. You only need to believe that it is God's water and that shall do for now. If the holy water helps you, then please make a small contribution to your church or give to the poor.
I recommend that you apply holy water at least three times a day, and for at least a month. In the meantime I will be praying for you. The holy water will be sent to you as a gift. I just need to know the name of the patient and an address to send the water to. As a courtesy on your part, I would appreciate if you would stay in contact with me via email on the progress.
Best hopes for you, and please read my articles on prayer, holy water, and miracles which I have published on Ezine Articles. You may find that link right on this blog.

How To Determine If Prayers Are Being Answered
How do we know if our prayers are being answered when we pray everyday, either to ask for favors combined with prayers said mostly in gratitude?
I combine my prayers with both categories. I ask of God things for my family and for myself, and then I pray for people who have asked me to pray for them, or their loved ones. I try to prioritize the urgent items, such as a major illness, a coming exam, people who need jobs, etc. Then, I go on to thank God for taking care of my requests, my family, and me too.
Many people pray for things that if they consider them at the end of the day, they are probably not exactly what they want versus what they need. I am guilty of doing the same, and sometimes we just don't know what we truly want. And that's okay, because by the fact that you are indeed praying every day is an excellent habit. When you need to pray for an urgency regarding a family matter, you will be in practice.
You will know when prayers are answered by the results that come along your way. In the case of a medical urgency, you receive good news from the doctors. When you're looking for work and a job interview comes up, that's prayers being answered.
Perhaps you're running short of funds to take care of things at home, pray for God to find a solution for you. And when the solution comes, just say thanks. And normally the answer comes in accordance with the urgency of the request.
You see, the reason prayers are answered is that we were made that promise. When the words "Ask, Believe, and You Will Receive," were said by Jesus, I don't believe that anyone was playing here.
Always pray with the conviction that your prayers will be at least listened to. And remember that we all receive not what we pray for, but instead what we justly earn. In other words, we get what we need not what we want.
If you should need prayers, get in touch with me on my email address noted below. You may also want to read my articles on prayers and holy water posted to Ezine Articles noted on this Page.

Why pray, and what are you praying for!
The reason that most of us pray is to request God, the saints, or Jesus directly for a particular favor. It may also be a prayer of gratitude. Then, like me, I simply pray to keep my thoughts close to God.
On Thursday morning I attend Mass at my Catholic church, not far from where I live, and since I get to open the church at 6 am and I also prepare the Chapel for the Mass, I get to see the Virgin Mary. At 6 am no one is there, so I get a great opportunity to talk to the Virgin. But, in my talks I ask for favors for many people.
When people ask me to pray for them, I take all petitions to the Virgin. She is known to be a "very powerful intercessor," meaning that she is the intermediary between Jesus and the Father.
Do I get all of my prayer requests answered? I believe with my heart, and with total faith that she listens, and God decides. There's an old saying, "Not what we pray for do we get, but what we justly earn." That can mean one thing to me, that we get not what we want, but what we truly need.
Years back, I prayed with my heart and soul to save my marriage. Divorce came just as surely as the snows in the North, and today I can say that it was for the best. And the amazing thing about it, it released me to live my life to do many other things which I couldn't seem to do while married, for example, pray for people and learn about holy water.
For that alone, I am truly grateful, for my life found peace and joy in just living.
If you are having a tough time with your life at this time, let me pray for you to the Virgin Mary. And you have my article just posted to Ezinearticles.com on "Holy Water - Major Benefits and Savings." Please read it, and see if holy water is for you!

The Art of Living Life to the Fullest
Wherever you are right now in your life, it's the best time ever! If it is not, it's because of something that's pending in your life. It might be just a stop over on your journey,a hitch, let's say, but life will go on for you. In fact, nothing stops for us.
We live our lives like a movie which never stops until the movie ends. We just don't know when it will end, and I don't believe we need to or want to know. That's why it said that "death is unpredictable" and I prefer to leave at that. It give me the opportunity to live my life on an ongoing basis like a business.
What makes us happy? That's something that we all need to find while we enjoy our journey through life. I find happiness in just waking up, getting a cup of coffee and writing my pages on blogs, or my articles on EzineArticles.com. There were many years in my life of uncertainties and marital problems until divorce finally arrived. Thereafter, life was simply made easier when we no longer lived together.
Being Catholic, I didn't see divorce as something to be proud of. But when two people cannot live together any longer, divorce is inevitable. Life went on better for both of us, and even the children were able to relax and get on with their lives as well.
I have found over the years, and it is something that younger people should try to understand early in their lives, we choose how we plan on living life to the fullest. We are the authors of our life, meaning, we can make it one "happy movie" every single day of our lives. At least we can try, and I have found over my lifetime that it works to start off on a "good foot" meaning, start the day on a happy note.
Being grateful for what we have is a great way to start the day, and looking forward for more out of life is the thing to do. Living life to the fullest is mental as well as physical. Good health comes from good food and exercise, and peace of mind comes from love of everything that surrounds you.
Should you be going through a difficult period, and you would like for me to pray for you, please let me know and I will include you in my prayer vigil. You may also want to read my various articles on Ezine found on this page regarding prayer, holy water, and other interesting subjects.

Gratitude, the highest of virtues
This time of year is when we all hope to find families safe as they travel many distances to get together and to enjoy one of the most significant events in the world of Christianity. It is also an eventful season for other religions as well.
However, there are those that may not have a family to go to, or even enjoy a Holiday meal together with anyone. I know the feeling for I have spent many Christmases without my children, as they travel to be together with their mom at her house, or on a cruise in the Caribbean.
It is still left for me to find joy in my life, and I do that by exercising myself to total fatigue. Mountain biking and jogging are my passion, but when I add prayer time, I find peace in my life. I didn't plan to be alone ever, but life takes many turns, and we make the most of it.
I have just recently submitted two articles for publication, one on miracles and the other on finding the joy of living. As I wrote them, I always try to aim toward the reader who needs some form of guideline and direction in their lives. The one on miracles is already out to the world.
People find me by researching on a subject, e.g. holy water. And they will either ask me for the water or for me to pray for them. That's their gift to me, to allow me to pray for them, or to send a small vial of holy water to them.
I enjoy incredibly good health, for my age anyway, but I invest in it by exercising daily, eating properly. And I don't forget to thank God for His blessings. Would it help you for me to say that GRATITUDE is the key element here?
I wish people would understand more that all of our blessings are a direct result of God's bountiful generosity. That being our source, then perhaps during this beautiful season you will find it in your heart to give to the poor who you see out on the streets.
Many happy wishes for a Wonderful Holiday Season! And should you be going through a tough moment at this time, let me pray for you by contacting me through my email address. I only ask for the reason, and that you keep me posted on the progress.

The healing and amazing curing power of holy water!
I have written various articles on Ezinearticles.com on the subject of holy water. I am amazed at myself to find that every time that I use it, it works. How does it work?
I have sinuses that react to the change of seasons, and so do many other people. However, I take care of them with a dab of holy water on my forehead and on my nose. Every time that I do apply the holy water, within seconds to a minute I get relief. I can't explain the why, but it works for me.
Let me get more specific with another excellent example. I suffer from inflammation of the shoulders. This is very painful, and I am guilty of causing the pain. I mountain bike, jog and pump weights throughout the week. I get severe pain when I jog, and when I go to sleep. I have a bottle of holy water near my bed, and when my shoulders begin to throb with pain, I just rub holy water on them, and in less than a minute the pain is gone!
The pastor at the Catholic Church where I attend weekly Mass tells me that it works for me only because I have faith in it. And he doesn't? I am going to answer that question: No, he doesn't! And he is not alone. People laugh about it, and I just go on using it very successfully.
Why does holy water work with me every single time? I guess because I simply don't question it! I started applying it on me due to my biking injuries since 2006, and I have saved thousand of Dollars on doctor and surgery bills. I should have had my right-hand thumb operated by a specialist because it was shown on x-rays to be out of place. I used holy water to treat it, and it worked magnificently! I am typing away right now, with no pain at all, and the thumb worked its way back to 95% of its original capacity.
If you would like for me to send you a small vial of holy water, just ask. I do it as a courtesy, and I will send it anywhere in the world. I just need to know what you will be using it for. That's it!
God bless, and keep your faith,

How to pray for your life, and that of your family
Just recently a father was present at a court house to listen to proceedings of a murder case—that of his own family. Early this year, his wife was raped, his two teenage daughters were assaulted and the entire family left to die. The house was set on fire, and the mother and their two daughters perished in the fire. Two criminals were caught and prosecuted. At the hearings, they were going over as to which of the two criminals set the house on fire. The father of the family was severely beat up with a bat at the time of the assault.
This happened in a very affluent neighborhood. The father is a medical doctor. How terribly sad it must be to face the criminals in court, and realize that you are all that's left. The criminals followed the mother from a shopping center to her house.
Here's my question: "What can we do to protect ourselves and our loved ones from the common criminals that lurk the country?"
The one thing that I emphasize with my daughter, who is 29 years-old, is to keep an eye open whenever she walks out of any establishment, may it be a shopping center, her office, the gym, etc. Once she's in her car, you need to keep an eye to see if anyone follows you out of the parking lot. These are simple precautions that with practice you can get very good at detecting problems. If it's your life, and we only get once chance to live, then please take heed to my advise.
In addition to taking the proper precautions as a daily habit, pray for yourself and for your family. Ask God to protect you and those you love. Thank Him every day for doing so, and do one more thing: sprinkle holy water in your home and on your children.
If they are no longer children, and they might not live with you, then put holy water on their photos. Please do this every day, and if you're a Christian make the cross with your finger over their faces. This is not superstition, but a humble way to express your blessings and protection to your family.
Holy water is available at any Catholic Church, and should you not want to get it there, then ask me to send you a small vial of holy water, and I shall be happy to send it to you with my blessings.
Please follow my other articles posted on Ezine Articles on this blog. My latest article is on faith, and you may find it enlightening and instructional.
God bless, and stay in touch if you wish through my email below. Please share this blog and email with friends, and I will be grateful to you.
