"...and after the fire a still small voice."

The Book of I Kings chapter 19; 11-12 reads:

“Behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind and earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.”

Chaplet of Protection

Chaplet of Protection
(To be prayed on ordinary rosary beads)
Jesus attached specific promises of protection to this prayer. This prayer goes even FURTHER than storms, natural disasters, and military strife. It has a GREAT HEALING POWER attached to it, as well, in that it can mend broken marriages, and cure spiritual, physical and emotional troubles. It has "another dimension of protection, even greater than what we can understand at this time."

In the context of protection against storms, natural disasters, and increasing global military tension, Jesus has asked us to URGENTLY spread this special devotion. It is NOT intended to replace the everyday Rosary of our Blessed Mother.

The chaplet is said by starting with the Crucifix and reciting the Apostles' Creed, then the Our Father, followed by three Hail Mary's on the group of three beads nearest the Crucifix.
First Hail Mary in praise of God the Father; Second Hail Mary in petition or (request); Third Hail Mary in thanksgiving with confidence that your request will be granted.

Instead of the Glory be to the Father..., recite "Holy God, Holy Omnipotent One, save us who dwell in this land."

On EACH decade, instead of the Hail Mary, recite
"Jesus Savior, merciful Savior, spare your people."

On completion of the fifth decade, recite "Son of God, Eternal Son, thank You for the things You have done." Say this a total of three (3) times to complete the Chaplet of Protection.

"Jesus, Mary, Joseph, I love You, Save Souls"

Well...

Fact: I wore my glasses on the drive home tonight. Fact: I rarely wear my glasses.

I was praying the rosary and I was worrying about the world, the journey, coming tribulations, personal and so forth. As we approached a car wash sign I had a thought "Look at the sign." As we got closer I could see it said, "Don't be haunted" Good advice. A bit farther I saw another sign, "Roadwork begins Friday 400 700." Not to get all Richard Dreyfuss about it, but I think it means something, and not just about a traffic detour. For me? you? But WHAT?! So, if it doesn't I am just joking, but if it does then ok. Mmmkay.

post script: (Watched "Wet Hot American Summer" with "the fart track." Awesome. I love Brook, her dogs and the dog she occasionally looks after. Nariman and Ryan came over as well. I likes them bitches too.)
