Are We There Yet?: Maybe Not the Longest Day

Maybe Not the Longest Day

William, inspired by D-Day movie, "The Longest Day."

What's Up:The Specs

* headed for "Oaktree Beach"
* a member of "Paddy's Light Infantry." (Paddy, btw, is the cat.)
* a "corporal and a group leader of two divisions." (Huh?)
* tells me he won't be in this division much longer because he's " getting too fat and these pants barely fit my legs."

So I'm wondering what does this mean? Does he get a promotion when he moves up to the next size pants, or what? I guess I'll have to wait and see, though. He wouldn't tell me because I was laughing...

Heavenly Father, we ask You to guide our children in the choice of spouse. Don't let them be carried away by false charms or be fascinated by mere outward glamour, but guide their minds to look beneath and beyond all external attractiveness for the deeper things which alone are worth while.

Especially let the choice be of one who is a fervent Catholic, true in thought and word and deed to those ideals which are Yours, especially the value of their purity.

Dear Father of us all, give Your guiding help to our children, who are Your children, too. We will be letting them go soon, but please don't ever let our children go from you. Amen

St. Valentine, patron of romantic love, pray for us!

O, St. Joseph...

...whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O, St. Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me from thy Divine Son all spiritual blessings; so that having engaged here below thy Heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thy arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name, and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
