As close to heaven as I can get on earth
Last week I was on vacation in Hawai’i. Needless to say, I believe that is about as close to heaven as I can get on this earth. I wanted to chuck it all, find a grass shack and stay there, but alas another life calls me. The reason I tell you this is because first you may or may not have noticed but I made no posts last week. I chose to set most of my writing activities aside and spend time with my family. (although being a writer, you know I could not do any writing, but what little writing I did was for pleasure.). The second reason I tell you this is because I still am getting back into the swing of things and with the start of school, still do not have my schedule back in play. So for today I will cheat a little.
While flying home on Saturday, I decided to read a book that I am hosting a blog tour for in September. I will be writing a review and I’m not sure what else is involved with a blog tour, but I will be learning. So I won’t write the review now, but will save it for the tour. Of course I have to tell you the name and the authors, because I am using a prayer that they put in their book for this post. For some reason this prayer jumped out at me on the plane and continues to stay with me days later. It can be used for so many things and right now it comforts me as I traverse the stormy waters of writing and publication along with the growing awareness of who my adult children have grown into.
The name of the book: Why God Matters: How to Recognize Him in Daily Life.
Authors: Karina Lumbert Fabian & Deacon Steven Lumbert
The prayer, one I should have learned as a child being raised Catholic, but I don’t recall ever learning it. Probably the first reason it jumped out at me.
ANIMA CHRISTI
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within your wounds, hide me

Separated from you. let me never be
From the evil one, protect me
At the hour of my death, call me
And close to you, bid me
That with your saints, I may be
Praising you forever and ever.
Amen

Christina – it’s good to read that you had a wonderful vacation in Hawaii. We all need time to rest and recharge our batteries, and what better place in the world to do that, right?
Thank you for mentioning “Why God Matters” in your post, and how you enjoyed reading it on your plane ride home. You got it (about being a part of the tour) – we’ll be looking forward to your review of the book on the 14th.
