YourYY strong love for each other will prove that you are my disciples. In 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 verses 4 - 7 Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand it's own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. YouYY will always believe of him, always expect the best in him and always stand your ground in defending him. I have been blessed with a husband who believed we should love the Lord, strive to love others and keep the strong bond that is love between a husband and wife. What a better place the world would be if we would open our hearts to the characteristics of love. - YourYY loving wife, Janice SOMERSETT, Frederick Arthur March 29, 1944 - February 27, 2016 In loving memory of my dear husband who passed away four years ago today. Prayer To The Blessed Virgin Mary ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Never Known to Fail) Oh most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruit for vine, splendour of Heaven, blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help and show me herein, you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for those who have recourse to thee (three times). Holy Mary I place this cause in your hands (three times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days. You must promise publication and it will be granted to you. Thank you to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. -B.N.
