Fiant aures tuae intendentes,

Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine:
Domine, quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est:

Out of the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord: * Lord, hear my voice.
Let Thy ears be attentive * to the voice of my supplication.
If Thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: * Lord, who shall stand it?
For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: * and by reason of thy law, I have waited for Thee, O Lord.
My soul hath relied on His word, * my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch even until night, * let Israel hope in the Lord.
Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel * from all his iniquities.
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.

R. Amen.
We fly to your patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our
petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O
glorious and blessed Virgin.
V. Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
R. You have brought forth Him who made you, and ever remain a virgin.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that
anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your
intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly unto
you, O Virgin of virgins and Mother; to you do we come; before you we stand,
sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our
petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer us.
R. Amen.
V. Blessed are you among women.
R. And blessed is the fruit of your womb.
O pure and immaculate and likewise blessed Virgin, who are the sinless
mother of your Son, the mighty Lord of the universe, you who are inviolate and
altogether holy, the hope of the hopeless and sinful, we sing your praises.
We bless you as full of every grace, you who bore the God-Man: we all bow low
before you; we invoke you and implore your aid. R. Amen.
(Pause here to make petitions to the Blessed Virgin Mary)
V. O Mary, conceived without sin,
R. Pray for us who have recourse to you.
Let us pray.
Holy Mary, succour the miserable, help the faint-hearted,
comfort the sorrowful, pray for the people, plead for the clergy, intercede
for all women consecrated to God; may all who keep your holy commemoration
feel now your help and protection. Be ever ready to assist us when we pray,
and bring back to us the answers to our prayers. Make it your continual care
to pray for the people of God, you who, blessed by God, merited to bear the
Redeemer of the world, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
R. Amen.

Doubts
I have been having doubts about my vocation. I mean i know its a long process to discern one's vocation and I am having serious doubts. I have been seriously thinking about what I am going to give up if I decide to enter the religious life. I will give up any chance to get married and have a family. I guess what I am going through what St. John of the Cross calls a "Dark Night of the Soul." I know some of the great saints of the church like St. John of the Cross, St Theresa of Avila, and Blessed Mother Teresa. I feel like I am in good company when it comes to doubts on my vocation.

Reflections Part 1
Well I started my day of praying in front of the Planned Parenthood here in Boise. It was an experience seeing that I was out praying for three hours. This is my first time doing anything like this. As I was praying my rosary I felt like I was being watched from above. Also the support I got from people driving by was really positive. I really am wondering why people would allow such evil like abortion to keep going in a so called Christian country like the United States.
Here are the days i am out there please keep me and all those that are participating

Why I think being a Catholic is so awesome
First off I am proud to be a member of the Catholic Church. Where is a place where you can go to Holy Mass everyday and to receive Jesus Christ Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity? Its in a Catholic Church. I love being a member of a church whose history can seen back in the time of Jesus and the Apostles and knowing that makes me happy to know that we have the fullness of the faith. I really love my parish which is the Cathedral Parish of the Diocese. I will be blogging about my church In a future post but I digress. I love being able to receive the Sacraments daily. I personally get the Sacrament of the Sick at least once a month. well that's the end of my post and God bless you and Deo Gratias.
Conversion Story
I wasn't really raised in a religious family. When I went to church it was usually with a friend and his family. When I was walking by the local parochial school I was thinking to myself "why can't I be like those kids?" It really took about nineteen years before I would truly hand myself over to God. I did some things that were wrong and I got caught and I was sent to jail. That first night there I got down on my knees and finally accepted God into my life. When I was sentenced and sent out to prison I totally forgot about my commitment to Christ. it took about three years before I went to a chapel service. my first Chapel service was a nondenominational service it was during that service that I was baptized and when I was done I still felt that emptiness inside. It was that Sunday evening that I decided to go Sunday Mass. it was there that I felt that God was talking to me. It was during the elevation of the host and chalice during the consecration that I felt it in my heart that God was speaking to me. After that Mass I started to go to Rosary, Catechism class, and I even joined in the choir. It was through the example of a fellow inmate his name was Doug Austin that I even started to pray the Liturgy of the Hours. It was on July 21, 2013 that I was brought into full communion with the Church. When Father put the Sacred Chrism on my forehead and said "Be Sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit" I felt that peace and belonging that I was searching for.
