Mama Mondays- worried about the storm?

There's a lot of apprehension today as we await another potentially devastating storm. Seems like these days, that's all we hear about. Whether you believe that an out-of-control hidden government is able to create these storms, earthquakes, and other disasters, or that we are simply experiencing a very difficult year full of perfectly natural disasters, I encourage you to remember the following whenever questions of bad weather come up:

Our Lord Jesus Christ rebuked the wind and storms and amazed His disciples in the following passage:

Mark 4:35-40


³⁵ On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” ³⁶ Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. ³⁷ And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. ³⁸ But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 
³⁹ Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. ⁴⁰ But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?


The following is a very old Catholic prayer called the "Blessing against Storms." Pray this prayer tomorrow over your house and family, making the mighty and powerful sign of the cross at each "+" and watch Our Lord work. Remember His words to His disciples: "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?"

Pray with me:


Jesus Christ a King of Glory has come in Peace. † God became man, † and the Word was made flesh. † Christ was born of a Virgin. † Christ suffered. † Christ was crucified. † Christ died. † Christ rose from the dead. † Christ ascended into Heaven. † Christ conquers. † Christ reigns. † Christ orders. † May Christ protect us from all storms and lightning † Christ went through their midst in Peace, † and the word was made flesh. † Christ is with us with Mary. † Flee you enemy spirits because the Lion of the Generation of Judah, the Root David, has won. † Holy God! † Holy Powerful God! † Holy Immortal God! † Have mercy on us. Amen!
