Welcome

Filed under: Blogs Spritual — Linda @ 7:00 pm

I am excited to invite my family, friends and the world to my website My Two Hearts. I hope as I journey with God in my writings you will come along with me. I hope you would feel free to share your thoughts and comments.

In 1980 when I finally decided to get my High School Diploma, I did not want a GED. Therefore, I went to “Adult High School”. When I applied, I had two years, to make up. Since I had been in the work place for ten years I was given a year credit. The two subjects I had to complete were Economics and English (writing). I was excited about going back to school and I excelled in both subjects. My instructor whose name I sadly cannot recall was enthuse about my writings. I can recall my projects being held up coming back to me because my instructor would show them to other instructors. My end of the year project on Tennyson was a feather in his cap. I hung on his every word and implemented all his suggestions in my writings. The last day of class, he made heartfelt comments to each one of us. When he got to me, he told I should write that I had a gift. However, life being what it is and decisions made I am now some 27 years later fulfilling this love of writing.

I made a promise to God in 2003 because He restored my life I would write about and for Him. I had no earthly idea how I was going to fulfill this promise. I was keeping handwritten journals I did not even own a typewriter. Christmas of 2005, my life would change with a gift of a computer. The world burst forth right into my living room. I was awe struck by the whole experience as I continue to be awe struck today. My head would be filled with terms I knew little about. One of those terms was BLOG. It took several explanations before I was to fully understand what a Blog was and how it works. The other term was website. When I finally understood the workings of these two terms, I was able to see how I would fulfill my promise to God.

I named my website My Two Hearts because I dubbed the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart Mary in my journals as My Two Hearts.

I worry not about if I will stay true to a Blog format. I have a feeling I will deter from the “norm” if this is a word associated with writing a Blog. It is well for me to remember this is a promise to God but not without a hitch. He will have to inspire my words, keep me true to Him and grant me every gift and grace to see this through. I entrusting my words to the Holy Spirit my safety net and it going around world is in His charge if it were for only one heart and soul.

May the Hearts of Jesus and Mary Bless You.

Dear Mother,

You keep an ever-gentle hand on me as I journey through this Valley of Tears.

I wear the Brown Scapular as a sign of my fidelity and devotion to you. I am under your protection and being a good and loving Mother, you keep an ever-watchful eye over me. My prayers to you Mother are received within your Immaculate Heart and treated tenderly.

MORNING OFFERING

 

O My God in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary (here kiss your scapular as a sign of your consecration; partial indulgence also), I offer the precious Blood of Jesus from all the altars throughout the world, joining with it the offering of my every thought, word and action of this day. O my Jesus, I desire today to gain every indulgence and merit I can and offer them, together with myself, to Mary Immaculate, that she may best apply them in the interests of thy most Sacred Heart. Precious Blood of Jesus, save us!

 

Because you love Mary’s Scapular

VENERATE IT OFTEN
