Catholic Devotions Meme

I started this blog in May, and have yet to get a meme. Not wanting to feel left out, I started one myself. This meme centers on Catholic Devotions. So here goes...

CATHOLIC DEVOTIONS MEME

1. Favorite devotion or prayer to Jesus? I'm not going to be able to limit myself to just one here. The Divine Mercy Chaplet has been my fav for the past few years, however recently I started praying the Chaplet of the Precious Blood, and the Litany of the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. I often say the Litany of Humility too.

2. Favorite Marian devotion or prayer? Our Lady of Mount Carmel (The Brown Scapular) and the Memorare.

3. Do you wear a scapular or medal? Yes - The Brown Scapular (Our Lady of Mount Carmel)

4. Do you have holy water in your home? As a general rule - yes. However we have recently run dry, and I haven't filled up our bottles.

5. Do you 'offer up' your sufferings? When I think of it - yes. But the question is...how often do I think of it.

6. Do you observe First Fridays and First Saturdays? To be honest...not often.

7. Do you go to Eucharistic Adoration? How frequently? Yes, but not as frequently as I'd like. My parish has it once a month, on First Fridays. From what I can tell, there aren't any Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration churches near me (what a shame.)

8. Are you a Saturday evening Mass person or Sunday morning Mass person? We normally go to 8:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday.

9. Do you say prayers at mealtime? Yes - this is something we have consistantly done with our kids. It is a great chance to pray for family, friends, the world; and to go around the table and tell what we like about one another.

10. Favorite Saint(s)? Long time fav is St. Therese, the Little Flower. More recently it's Saint Gianna Molla.

11. Can you recite the Apostles Creed by heart? This one may sound like an odd question, but I find it rather difficult to remember the Apostles Creed (I need a cheat sheet.) I get a mental block or something. Maybe it's because it's so similar to the Nicene Creed.

12. Do you usually say short prayers (aspirations) during the course of the day? Yes - I like to say "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you, save souls." Another favorite is "My Jesus, Mercy."

13. Bonus Question: When you pass by a automobile accident or other serious mishap, do you say a quick prayer for the folks involved? Yes - My family will say an Our Father and a Hail Mary for them.

Well, there you have it! I'm tagging Ray at Stella Borealis, Lynne at A Quiet Catholic, Mary at Veritatis Splendor, Moneybags at A Catholic Life, and Julie at Happy Catholic.

Anyone else who would like to participate in the fun...please do!

God Bless Your Day!
