A Lady's Ruminations

"Jane was firm where she felt herself to be right." -Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

O Little Flower of Jesus

We are taking our dog, Dani, to the vet at 10:30am today, to learn more about her cancer and what we can do. Please pray for Dani and us.

This is one of my favorite prayers:

O Little Flower of Jesus, ever consoling troubled souls with Heavenly Graces, in your unfailing intercession I place my confident trust. From the Heart of Our Blessed Saviour petition these Blessings of which I stand in greatest need (mention here). Shower upon me your promised Roses of Virtue and Grace, dear St. Therese, so that swiftly advancing in sanctity and perfect love of neighbour, I may someday receive the Crown of Life Eternal. Amen.
Please also pray for the victims of Hurrican Katrina, our men and women in Iraq, and their families.

We Catholics do not worship saints, but we do ask them to pray for us, just as we ask relatives and friends to pray for us.

If you would like to learn more about St. Therese, please visit The Society of the Little Flower".
