Underground tunnels at Cu Chi village is more commonly known as an interesting historical sights and challenging. However, the hall which became the basis of the struggle under Vietcong militiamen in the war against the United States (1959-1975) kept a dark story. "Many tourists are more admired the heroic story of Vietcong fighters together with Vietnamese troops in the war against the French and the Americans who helped the South Vietnamese. However, there are some bitter memories, and the patient feels about 10 thousand fighters and citizens who have lived for decades in the narrow hallway and dark, "said Nhi Nguyen, a tour guide in Ho Chi Minh City.
One story that slash is the sacrifice of a mother surnamed Le who was forced to kill a newly born child in order to save the fate of many people in the underground tunnel. Nhi not know exactly when this story happened, but the incident took place during the Vietnam war against America.
"Age of the war, the government asked the woman not have sex with their partner during their stay in the tunnel. However, a female Vietcong sympathizer that time was already pregnant," said Nhi when Indonesia took the tourists from Ho Chi Minh City-Saigon-popularly called the tunnel in the village of Cu Chi, which took more than two hours of travel.
"My mother was forced to give birth in the basement. However, should a newborn baby, that poor child was crying loudly. It is very dangerous," said Nhi.
"Though a baby's cries could be heard above the ground. This is risky making U.S. forces find and attack the tunnel," continued the guide who was quite fluent in Indonesian.
So, the mother was not there another way besides kill her child stop crying. "The baby's nose and hold him until his son bekap not move again," said Nhi.
For the commanders and Vietcong fighters, step mother because Le is a heroic act could save many lives from attacks by artillery and warplanes bombing the U.S. into the tunnels of Chu Ci. However, she became very upset and fatal consequences.
"He felt very lost on the departure of his son who had been murdered. Then, after a united and independent Vietnam in 1975, the mother is disturbed his soul and then commit suicide," said Nhi borne by the story until it had burst into tears.
His boss, Hung Tran, revealed that the story was now always expressed our tour guide every time they take the tourists into the tunnels of Cu Chi.
"There are many more stories that illustrate the sacrifices of the people underground. Many of those who die due to bad sanitation and disease. Not to mention, exposed to bites of poisonous animals and insects that live underground," said Hung.
In addition, the community was forced to dig a new tunnel deeper to find water sources. "The action came after the U.S. forced them to do damage the Saigon River with Napalm bombs which pollute the water," says Hung.
The Officers

For some people the evening is a good time to rest. Remove the load after a day occupied with various activities. Many people want to sleep as long and as comfortable as possible, simply remove the burden of the conscious mind even though it applies only for a moment. Because when I woke up, the various problems of living is waiting. But not for me, sleep becomes scary lately. When night comes, comes a strong desire within myself to not sleep a wink.
For many months the desire to sleep is not entrenched in the mind. Although this is considered by some as something that happened to fair officials like myself, who returned to run for local elections. I can not simply accept the assumptions of such filthy. Many times I tried to look at what seems to be the cause of this, but so far to no avail.
Berwaktu-time problems that increasingly flourish, winding itself, does not even give me half a chance to escape from him. Never dawned on the mind to see a doctor, but I quickly throw away that thought. I've removed the reliance on doctors, police, judges or anyone else who feels needed people because of those fears. But that does not mean I do not appreciate their position, I just want to say that tomorrow I can actually like them. Sok calm, self can overcome the problem although it should be up bald head, a great ass but not a lot of ability, quasi not need anyone else, tomorrow a leader, pretentious official title even though it was deposited from the people, pretentious rich treasure, though I realize it's just the deposit only. The point is people like me are free to any quasi.
I've been standing on the corner of my room facing the mirror. I noticed my whole body in the mirror that was always brilliant. No change in the slightest, I smiled with satisfaction. But, I have not had my hair straightened. Something happened on the mirror. I'm surprised is not absurdly, I saw that the mirror was not there myself. Oath died I was very surprised.
"Who are you? "
"I do, what you forgot"
The figure was smiling grinning mirror, very scary. Dark skin, red eyes, just weird. Only just exactly the same clothes that I wear.
"What are you?"
"Nothing. You know what you're doing. You know why you like now? ".
I kept looking at the figure of mirror. My eyes are like hypnotized to continue viewing. Of course I'm upset with all this. I'm anxious to figure cursed mirror.
"You know what would you do?"
Of course I know. Basic strange. It's from a few months ago I expose myself to make it more known to the public. Without any real promotion everyone already knew me. It's just that I wanted to get closer and so I better understood the community. Candidates for such officials must be very clever I stole people's hearts. I am increasingly irritated by the presence dihadapanku figure.
"It seems that your intention should be repaired"
"That!"
"You know ..."
"Hey ...!"
I have not had time to continue those words, lightning-fast figure vanished leaving smiles strangely. The figure was replaced by my own shadow. I realized from the hypnotic effect of this mirror image.
I ran to the bed, bent his body half-circle and then close the head with a blanket. Fear and sleep in one, but I continue to try to fight it. Outside, the hustle and bustle of the streets making noise ears. While the more severe the head only. Somehow I kept trying to stay awake. I want to escape from fear, from a bad dream, beautiful dream, nightmare or dream anything that was always there when I fell asleep.
As much as any business, I'm still human. Have limited physical strength. I lost scent beds, mattresses and pillows dilelapkan soft and warm blanket. The next moment the scene the night that I feared, was not avoidable. I was in another room, the space limit of consciousness. I just wanted to let all the heavy burden I carry, something that ruined everything.
I was in a group of people. They were the first pekerjaku. Every day from morning until night fell, they were always loyal to my service. They were dutiful and obedient to run what I assign to them. But now everything changed, they no longer recognize me. I've been generous to greet them first, when before I had never done all that. But still they did not know me, let alone not even say hello glance.
Not only that, I even banned from the room to where I think the work. I tried menerebos entrance, but security officers quickly dragged out swiftly.
"Do not screw up here, go!"
I was thrown by a security guard, when before they were obedient and respectful to me. I'm surprised with all these events, do not fit the scenario that I make. Hinanyakah so myself, or had run the country's culture, to respect was no longer there. So what kind of country is only natural that when a variety of depravity in this country thrives. I grumbled to myself.
I do not accept what happened to me. I rebelled and blasphemous uncontrollably. I'd love to beat up two men with my hand, but I have not had time to do a sudden pain that very sick taste in my body. My head hit the bed iron bed. I awake from the nightmare.
Want to throw out all the pain and disappointment as he realized that dream again I'm stuck. But though I tried a half-dead, a strange feeling when your mind is still biting and delusion can no longer deceive me. Restrain anger, the more I do not want to sleep. I want to hear anything outside of myself, my wife heard the sound, the sound Ijah servant, anyway, I want to stay awake.
In another corner of my room, I grabbed a cup of coffee at the table who had been made Ijah. Gulp down my coffee, my tongue-snapped berdecap lost sense of pleasure because corn is too strong of coffee powder not branded. Ijah call me, he can only answer when I asked haltingly prihal corn coffee.
"The usual discharged, sir! She said a little learning frugal, later if the father is not in use, has been ordinary. "
"Uh ... you think I am"
Pelototi my maid suddenly dared underestimate me. Though he had not dared to do it.
Ijah away in fear. A moment later I realized that just stayed Ijah who now have to be afraid of my anger. He had scared me, because I pay him. But at least I can still feel the fear of people around me, even though it was just Ijah.
All voice near me vanished. No sound of my wife, Ijah no sound, no more noise, no nobody, no nothing. Frozen world outside myself, I slowly peeled off. Just haunting echoes of the people, emerge and disappear among the local election news. Until the last sentence there is almost no supporters, arrived - I felt has turned into an insect, a small creature that does not need consciousness to understand life.
I do not know, whether or not I feel happy when I'm asleep or awake. Both are no different to me. I feel how those bare feet trample head. Same as I ever did, when I had the opportunity to trample on other people. Asleep or awake, not unlike me in jail. A new awareness I can understand when things happened, all that is sooner or later the world will leave us.
For a moment I thought, what is meant my awareness of this. It was quite late, even very late. I have failed to make my own life. I shouted, menghiba, rebelled hard. I have not received the wheel of life which now melindasku. Why so fast all I have to leave me.
"Let's hold a strong hand"
"Disconnect"
"Rapid injection tranquilizers"
Both men meringkusku doctor immediately. Two sedative injections weaken the muscles in my body, then I do not know anymore. Until I wake again, tepatku living room is still like the original, painted white, one-third the size of my bedroom, surrounded by a fence of iron bars. I'm tired of being here, I like a toothless tiger. Life here does not yield anything. No one cares anymore in my life. Therefore I need a friend, colleague or whatever his name. I want to share stories about the struggles of life. If you want to meet people like me, you can meet me at sal jasmine. More precisely Mental Hospital logic in the way of meaning in my life. I'm waiting, do not forget ya. (by F.R Sudarja)

Maternal love
Raining hard. A mother carrying her baby away amid the rain. Soon after the baby fever. The mother felt kebinggungan, not knowing what she should do.
Because of confused what to do, the mother brought her son to the monastery where he used to worship.
It was night, the door has been closed monasteries. With the instinct to protect her child, she knocked on the door of the monastery all his strength, hoping no one answered the door and help his son.
Shortly after hearing a knock, opened by a priest pintupun sharp-nosed and fair-complexioned. What a surprise the preacher when he saw a woman with a pale face in the rain, holding a crying baby with a fever. Soon the pastor, invited the mother was inside.

Babies were put into a room to be examined. The mother waited outside with great concern.
Not long later a priest came out of the room and told the mother that her baby was only ordinary fever. The mother was relieved to hear that, but he immediately wanted to meet with his beloved.
Without preamble and questions, he barged into the room. How shocked he was when entered into the room. It turns out there was only inside the altar and her baby who was lying right in front of the altar.
She came into the room to take her baby, but to my surprise, he was not scared at all. The room seemed to radiate peace and solitude. Although the outside was heavy rain, but the rain did not sound that all subjects.
He approached the altar and her baby who had fallen asleep. When going out, the mother dipekakan by a very bright light for a moment.

For a moment the mother is not able to move and not say anything. Like being hypnotized, she did not feel anything, other than silence.
Suddenly the silence was broken by the words that came out of the mouths of people dressed in gold.
"Mom, what is the child's mother? Looks very beautiful and sweet "
"This is my child ...." A mother's spontaneous
"Is mother love him?"

But strangely it made him cry cry. He saw no mirror mother was crying. Not long after the baby is crying too.
Suddenly a voice was crying as if broken by a voice ...
"Do you bear to see someone else and your child grieve? Why do not you relakan your child? He'd be happier if nurtured by people who loved him, they Deliver! "Said the golden robe that had been met.

I'm nobody's child
>> Wednesday, June 9, 2010
As I was slowly passing
an orphan's home one day,
I stopped for just a little while
to watch the children play.
Alone a boy was standing
and when I asked him why,
he turned with eyes that could not see
and he began to cry.
I'm nobody's child,
I'm nobody's child.
Just like the flowers
I'm growing wild.
I got no mummy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants me,
I'm nobody's child.
No mummy's arms to hold me
or sue me when I cry,
'cos sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die.
I'll walk the streets of heaven
where all blinds can see.
And just like for the other kids
it will be a home for me.
I'm nobody's child,
I'm nobody's child.
Just like the flowers

O Jesus,
My voice to those humble
Make my words to be beautiful in front of them
Make my character to be soft on them and
Soften my heart for them .......
O Jesus,
Give them the best replies,
of their upbringing to me and reward that
big up their affection bestows me
preserve them as they care of.
O Jesus,
What are the problems which they had felt
or they are suffering because they distress me,
or loss of something of their rights because they have acted,
then make it all the forgiveness of
their sins and reward increased
their kindness with you, my God's permission,
You alone are entitled to reply
evil with good double.
O Jesus,
If your magfirah have reached them before me,
Let them give syafa'at for me.
But if otherwise, then let me
syafa'at to give them,
so we all gathered together with your donation
in residence in shade Thy glory, Thy mercy and Thy grace.
Verily Thou art the Exalted has Kurnia,
and grace that never ends
and thou merciful among all loving.
You Must Not Know About Me
You Must Not Know About Me
You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I Could Have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute - baby
I can have another you by Tomorrow
So do not you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable
Resolve to take me far enough away from parents. When it is time to determine a way of life, give up and go home due to the tiger's life ... grin or ... stay and show them that I am able. Just takes a struggle, learning, adaptation, resolve and never give up.
I had to choose with courage. Brave forward .....!!!!!
Letter from Jesus
My son
When you wake up from the morning, I looked at you and hope you will talk to me, although a word to me asking my opinion or give thanks for something wonderful things that happen in your life today or yesterday. But I saw you so busy preparing to go to work. I wait again when you get ready, I knew there was little time for you to stop and say hello, but you are too busy. In one place, you sit disebuah chair for fifteen minutes without doing anything, Then the I saw you move your feet., I think you will talk to me but you ran ketelepon, and called a friend to hear the latest gossip. I see when you go to work and I waited patiently all day long. With all the activities I think you are too busy to say anything to ME. Before lunch, I saw you looked around the table, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to ME, which is why you do not bow your heads. You are looking at three or four tables around you and see some of your friends talking and saying my name softly before they ate the fortune that I gave, but you do not do it. Well, never mind there's still time left and I hope you will talk to me, although when you come home it seems as though a lot of things you have to do. After the job is finished, you turn on the TV. I do not know if you like watching TV or not, it's just that you are always there and spent many hours each day in front, without thinking about anything and just enjoy the event displayed. Back I wait patiently while you watch TV and enjoy your food, but again did not speak to me. At bedtime I think you feel too tired. After saying goodnight to your family, you're jumping place to sleep and fell asleep without a word you call my name. It's okay because it probably does not realize that I was always there for you. I have to be patient much longer than you realize. I even wanted to teach others how to be patient face .. I love you very much, every day I look forward to a word, prayer, thanksgiving, thoughts or my heart. Well you wake up again and again I waited with less full of love that today you will give me a little time to say hello. But nevertheless I can not wait for you to say hello. From second to second, from minute to minute, from hour to hour, day hingg changed again, you still ignore ME. Not a word, no seucap prayer, and no taste, no word and a desire to bow to me. Is my fault to you? I bestows fortune, health that I gave, treasures relakan ME, ME cooked foods, children who I favored, if it does not make remember me? Believe me I always love you, and I still hope that one day you'll say hello to me, begging for protection from me, bow to me ... which is always with you any time

Until He touched my face
There were words I couldn't say
Until His love came in my life
My soul began to fray.
Through countless years
Embroidered fears
Had all been sewn in time
Until His love flowed over me
The seams began to bind.
Veils of blackness clothed my soul
And sadness was the lace
Around my heart was
hemmed despair
Until He touched my face.
Tapestries of tears
Were hanging in the halls
And filling every corridor
Were banners of my falls.
Every thread of every deed
Unraveled In His gaze
And one by one, became undone
When He touched my face!
"My child," He said,
"Weep no more,
Take My cloak on thee."
Then He smiled, turned and said,
"Now come and follow Me!"

O Eternal God! O Eternal Trinity! Through the union of Thy divine nature Thou hast made so precious the Blood of Thine only-begotten Son! O eternal Trinity, Thou art as deep a mystery as the sea, in whom the more I seek, the more I find; and the more I find, the more I seek. For even immersed in the depths of Thee, my soul is never satisfied, always famished and hungering for Thee, eternal Trinity, wishing and desiring to see Thee, the True Light.
O eternal Trinity, with the light of understanding I have tasted and seen the depths of Thy mystery and the beauty of Thy creation. In seeing myself in Thee, I have seen that I will become like Thee. O eternal Father, from Thy power and Thy wisdom clearly Thou hast given to me a share of that wisdom which belongs to Thine Only-begotten Son. And truly hast the Holy Spirit, who procedeth from Thee, Father and Son, given to me the desire to love Thee.
O eternal Trinity, Thou art my maker and I am Thy creation. Illuminated by Thee, I have learned that Thou hast made me a new creation through the Blood of Thine Only-begotten Son because Thou art captivated by love at the beauty of Thy creation.
O eternal Trinity, O Divinity, O unfathomable abyss, O deepest sea, what greater gift could Thou givest me then Thy very Self? Thou art a fire that burns eternally yet never consumed, a fire that consumes with Thy heat my self-love. Again and again Thou art the fire who taketh away all cold heartedness and illuminateth the mind by Thy light, the light with which Thou hast made me to know Thy truth.
By this mirrored light I know Thou are the highest good, a good above all good, a fortunate good, an incomprehensible good, an unmeasurable good, a beauty above all beauty, a wisdom above all wisdom, for Thou art wisdom itself, the the food of angels, the fire of love that Thou givest to man.
Thou art the garment covering our nakedness. Thou feedest our family with Thy sweetness, a sweetness Thou art from which there is no trace of bitterness. O Eternal Trinity! Amen.
A Trinity Prayer
Love of Jesus Fill us.
Holy Spirit Guide us.
Will of the Father be done.

Stations of the Cross
Opening Prayer
Mary, my Mother, you were the first to live the Way of the Cross.
You felt every pain and every humiliation. You were unafraid of the
ridicule heaped upon you by the crowds. Your eyes were ever on Jesus
and His Pain. Is that the secret of your miraculous strength? How did your
loving heart bear such a burden and such a weight? As you watched Him
stumble and fall, were you tortured by the memory of all the yesterdays-
His birth, His hidden life and His ministry?
You were so desirous of everyone loving Him. What a heartache it was
to see so many hate Him - hate with a diabolical fury. Take my hand as I
make this Way of the Cross. Inspire me with those thoughts that will make
me realize how much He loves me. Give me light to apply each station to my
daily life and to remember my neighbor's needs in this Way of the Pain.
Obtain for me the grace to understand the mystery, the wisdom
and the Divine love as I go from scene to scene. Grant that my heart, like
yours, may be pierced through by the sight of His sorrow and the misery and
that I may determine never to offend Him again. What a price He paid to
cover my sins, to open the gates of heaven for me and to fill my soul with His
own Spirit . Sweet Mother, let us travel this way together and grant that the
love in my poor heart may give you some slight consolation.
Amen.
An Act of Consecration to The Sacred Heart of Jesus
I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, my person and my life, my actions, pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being other than to honor, love and glorify the Sacred Heart. This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him. I therefore take You, O Sacred heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death.
Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the strokes of his righteous anger. O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in You, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty, but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty.
Remove from me all that can displease You or resist Your holy will; let your pure love imprint Your image so deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You or to be separated from You.
May I obtain from all Your loving kindness the grace of having my name written in Your Heart, for in You I desire to place all my happiness and glory, living and dying in bondage to You.
Amen.

Prayer While Visiting The Most Blessed Sacrament
My Lord Jesus Christ, for the love which You bear to men, You remain night and day in this Sacrament full of compassion and of love, awaiting, calling, and welcoming all who come to visit You. I believe that You are present in the Sacrament of the Altar: I adore You from the abyss of my nothingness, and I thank You for all the graces which You have bestowed upon me and in particular for having given me Yourself in this Sacrament, for having given me your holy Mother Mary for my advocate, and for having called me to visit You in this chapel. I now salute
Your most loving Heart: and this for three ends:
1. In thanksgiving for this great gift;
2. To make amends to You for all the outrages which You receive in this Sacrament from all Your enemies;
3. I intend by this visit to adore You in all the places on earth in which You are the least revered and the most abandoned.
My Jesus, I love You with all my heart. I grieve for having so many times offended Your infinite goodness. I promise with Your grace never more to offend You in the future.
Now, miserable and unworthy though I be, I consecrate myself to You without reserve;
I give You my entire will, my affections, my desires, and all that I possess. From now on dispose of me and of all that I have as You please. All that I ask of You and desire is Your holy love, final perseverance, and the perfect accomplishment of Your will. I recommend to You the souls in purgatory; but especially those who had the greatest devotion to the most Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed Virgin Mary. I also recommend to You all poor sinners.
My dear Saviour, I unite all my affections with the affections of Your most loving Heart; and I offer them, thus united, to Your eternal Father, and beseech Him in Your name to vouchsafe, for Your love, to accept them.
Amen.

Divine Child Jesus, we believe in You; We adore You; and we love You; have mercy on us, sinners.
We've come to this Temple in response to your love. We've come in response to your mercy and grace. We are here because You invited us to come before You and to pour out the cares of our hearts to You since You deeply care for each of us.
We remember Your words to the disciples: Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened. Trusting in your infinite goodness and trusting that You always keep your promise, we now ask this intention which we pray in the silence of our hearts......
Thank you, Divine Child Jesus, for listening attentively to our prayers all the time. We hope that You will ask this before Our Heavenly Father. And, if what we ask for may not be good for our salvation and sanctification, we trust that you will grant us instead what we truly need, so that one day we may be with You for all eternity enjoying that ultimate happiness of Heaven.
Divine Child Jesus, bless and protect us.
Divine Child Jesus, bless and lead us.
Divine Child Jesus, bless and provide for us.
All this we ask through the intercession of your Holy Mother, Mary, and in Your powerful and Most Holy Name, Jesus. Amen

Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui dedisti famulis tuis in confessione verae fidei, aeternae Trinitatis gloriam agnoscere, et in potentia maiestatis adorare Unitatem: quaesumus, ut eiusdem fidei firmitate, ab omnibus semper muniamur adversis. Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
All: Amen.
All: Libera nos, salva nos, vivifica nos, O Beata Trinitas!
The Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels
Forever and ever
Amen
"I love You, O my God, and my only desire is to love You until the last breath of my life. I love You, O my infinitely lovable God, and I would rather die loving You, than live without loving You. I love You, Lord and the only grace I ask is to love You eternally....My God, if my tongue cannot say in every moment that I love You, I want my heart to repeat it to You as often as I draw breath."
- Saint John Vianney.

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

An Act of Contrition
O my God,
I am heartily sorry for
having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins,
because I dread the loss of heaven,
and the pains of hell;
but most of all because
they offend Thee, my God,
Who are all good and
deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve,
with the help of Thy grace,
to confess my sins,
to do penance,
and to amend my life.
Amen.
"Jesus' call to conversion and penance, like that of the prophets before Him, does not aim first at outward works, "sackcloth and ashes," fasting and mortification, but at the CONVERSION OF THE HEART, INTERIOR CONVERSION. Without this, such penances remain sterile and false; however, interior conversion urges expression in visible signs, gestures and works of penance.
Interior repentance is a radical reorientation of our whole life, a return, a conversion to God with all our heart, an end of sin, a turning away from evil, with repugnance toward the evil actions we have committed. At the same time it entails the desire and resolution to change one's life, with hope in God's mercy and trust in the help of His grace."
- from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 1430-31.

The Our Father
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 us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
"The Lord's Prayer "is truly the summary of the whole gospel." "Since the Lord...after handling over the practice of prayer, said elsewhere, 'Ask and you will receive,' and since everyone has petitions which are peculiar to his circumstances, the regular and appropriate prayer (the Lord's Prayer) is said first, as the foundation of further desires."
- Tertullian, De orat.
from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 2761.

The Holy Rosary
The rosary has been prayed since the thirteenth century. While meditating on the life of Jesus, one recites the prayers that brings one closer to Him and to His Mother, Mary.
Start by making the sign of the Cross:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Then recite the Creed:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day He rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
Then say 1 "Our Father", 3 "Hail Mary's" for the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity; and then 1 "Glory Be":
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 us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
HAIL MARY, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou 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 death. Amen.
GLORY BE to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
The Rosary is divided into three parts, each having five mysteries. While meditating on the Mysteries, recite:
1 "Our Father"
10 "Hail Mary's" and
1 "Glory Be"
for each Mystery.
After each Mystery the "Fatima Prayer" is said.
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.
All together this makes up one decade.
After the completion of the five mysteries (five decades), the "Hail Holy Queen" is said
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

The Hail Mary
Hail Mary,Full of Grace,The Lord is with thee.Blessed art thou among women,and blessed is the fruitof thy womb, Jesus.Holy Mary,Mother of God,pray for us sinners now,and at the hour of death. Amen."Beginning with Mary's unique cooperation with the working of the Holy Spirit, the Churches developed their prayer to the holy Mother of God, centering it on the Person of Christ manifested in His mysteries. In countless hymns and antiphons expressing this prayer, two movements usually alternate with one another: the first "magnifies" the Lord for the "great things" He did for His lowly servant and through her for all human beings. The second entrusts the supplications and praises of the children of God to the Mother of Jesus, because she now knows the humanity which, in her, the Son of God espoused." - from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 2675.

Prayer To Your Guardian Angel
>> Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
To whom God's love
commits me here,
Ever this day,
be at my side,
To light and guard,
Rule and guide.
Amen.
"From infancy to death human life is surrounded by their (the angels) watchful care and intercession. Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life. Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united to God."
- from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 336.

The Glory Be
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
"O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor? Or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory for ever. Amen."
- Romans 11:33-36.
The Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
Amen.
"The Apostles' Creed is so called because it is rightly considered to be a faithful summary of the apostles' faith. It is the ancient baptismal symbol of the Church of Rome. Its great authority arises from this fact: it is 'the Creed of the Roman Church, the See of Peter, the first of the apostles, to which he brought the common faith."
- from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 194.
"This Creed is the spiritual seal, our heart's meditation and an ever-present guardian; it is, unquestionably, the treasure of our soul."
- Saint Ambros
The Angelus
The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary:
And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou 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.
Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
Hail Mary . . .
And the Word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary . . .
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you" (Lk 1:28)
"Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb"
(Lk 1:42).
Snow Chains Vs. Cables
Tire chains and cables might not be familiar to everyone in the United States, but they are a common part of driving in areas that experience a lot of snow and ice. Some state highway officials can require snow tires or chains/cables on vehicles on icy or snowy highways.
Snow Chains
Chains have been the traditional ice- and snow-gripping solution for vehicles for decades. Originally available only in "ladder" designs that wrapped around tires, they have evolved into crisscrosses and other patterns.
Updates
Snow cables are an update of snow chains. According to Vulcan Tires, cable chains use a high-strength steel aircraft cable surrounded by alloy steel traction coils and offer better traction and a smoother ride for passenger cars and trucks than traditional chains.
Installation
As the newer and lighter traction invention, snow cables are generally easier to install. Cables can come with rubber tighteners that make keeping them properly tightened less of an effort than with chains.
Usage
While snow cables have become popular with passenger cars and trucks, snow chains are still recognized as having superior traction and durability for heavy vehicles like trucks, buses and construction equipment.
Tips
You will often find both snow chains and cables referred to and marketed as "snow chains."
Whether you decide on snow chains or cables, be sure to purchase the right size for your vehicle. It is also a good idea to practice installing the chains or cables on your tires after you buy them--a cold, icy highway is not the ideal place to try to put them on for the first time.
Difference Between Snow Chains & Snow Cables
It is difficult, and even dangerous, to drive a car in snow without adequate snow equipment. Common options for your car include snow tires, snow chains and snow cables. There is a lot of confusion about the last two, and some think they're one and the same. However, although snow chains and snow cables perform similar work, there are differences between them, enough to effect which one ultimately chooses.
Geography
Snow chains and snow cables are used in areas that experience snowy winters, such as states in the Eastern region and the Midwest. In some areas, such as the steep mountain passes, roads and highways, car owners must have snow chains, snow tires, or snow cables on their tires when driving. A few states are against them for fear of the damage that this equipment can cause to road surfaces.
Identification
Snow chains are made of large and heavy steel links while snow cables are made of steel aircraft cable encased in alloy traction coils. Both have cross-links that can be replaced when worn out.
Types
Snow chains are available in the recognizable ladder pattern, while snow cables are available in the ladder pattern or a "z" chain pattern. The latter is supposed to offer the best traction due to the zigzag pattern across the length of the snow cable. Both snow chains and snow cables are available in a variety of sizes to fit the different sizes of tires for different cars
Benefits
Each type of snow equipment provides its own particular benefit. Due to their makeup, snow cables are lighter in weight than snow chains and are easier to put on and take off. They are also less expensive than snow chains. However, although snow cables are effective, snow chains seem to provide more traction. Snow chains are often used for 2WD vehicles while snow cables are more often used on 4WD vehicles.
Considerations
In the New York State Commercial Driving Manual, the DMV recommends that drivers learn to install their snow chains or cables before they actually need to use it. A practice installation will help you ensure that the chains or cables are the right size for your tires and will also prepare you to use them when needed.
Snow chains and snow cables will last longer when they are used appropriately. When the chains or cables are on the tires, accelerate slowly and then maintain a speed of 30 miles per hour. Manufacturers recommend that owners use this equipment on snow-covered roads only.
Warning
It is possible for snow chains to wrap around a vehicle's axle if they are not properly secured. Snow chains should be checked and tightened after driving a short distance.
How to Choose Between Two Difficult Options
If you're faced with two difficult options to choose between, you've probably been struggling to make a decision for some time. Use this exercise to help you make the decision that is most right for you and your path in life.
Instructions
Step 1
Step 2
Starting with your arms level, choose one hand for "yes" and the other for "no."
Step 3
Ask yourself yes/no questions, and feel the chosen hand drop, as if a pile of rocks were placed into that hand.
Step 4
Continue to ask questions to narrow down your answers.
Step 5
If you are choosing between two options, you can also "place" each option into a hand, instead of using the yes/no. Example: "interviewing for X job" could be in your left hand and "interviewing for Y job" could be in your right hand.
Step 6
You will get a feeling of resonance when you tap into your subconscious. If it feels forced or not working, take a few breaths and try again. Be patient with yourself.

How to Choose Between an iPad and a Kindle
There are several options out there for us bookworms out there looking to go digital. The two major ones right now are the iPad and the Kindle. This article is meant to help you decide between the two.
Instructions
Step 1
Assess your needs. The iPad and the Kindle are both great products, but each offers different features. The iPad is multifunctional allowing you to check email, browse the web, watch movies, view photos, load apps, etc. The Kindle is less versatile. It allows you to read books, magazines, newspapers and pdfs digitally as well as listen to audio books.

It allows you to read books, magazines, newspapers and pdfs digitally as well as listen to audio books.
Step 2
Check out the screens. One point Macintosh loves to make about the iPad is that it offers the reader a full color experience. The Kindle is viewed in shades of gray and all the photos are viewed in black and white. The advantage seems to go to iPad but it really depends on you. Most bookworms realize that the pages of a book are hardly ever bright white. The softer tones used make reading easier on the eyes. The gray tones of the Kindle may actually be better for the avid reader.

Step 3
Assess your wallet. The base model for the iPad starts at $499 and tops off just under $900. The base model of the Kindle is $259 and the more expensive model is $489. For $140 (base model pricing between Kindle and iPad) you are getting a lot more functionality, but you will also have to enroll in a monthly data plan to take advantage of it. Mac has kept the data plans for the iPad relatively cheap, starting at roughly $15 per month.

Step 4
Price out the books. Any good bargain hunter will insist on this. Once iBooks is up and running, comparison shop the price of books from iBooks and the price of books from Amazon.
