February Bulletin Board

So, what's on for this month?

Nicholas is having a birthday, so here's some of Nick's childhood photos...

Our cat will also have a birthday this month - and it will be one year that we have had Belle with us!

St Valentine and St Brigid and St Brigid's Cross.

At Group Learning, we are looking at Medieval Times and here is a small timeline. We are still reading the My Story books for Aussie history at home.

Jonathon is returning to university study this month, after the Xmas break. Hence the Open Uni logo. Jonathon is enrolled in a Bachelor of Communications, majoring in Public Relations.

A picture from "A Continual Feast", reminding us of the start of Lent in February.

Finally, some copies of the Science books that three of the boys have chosen for Science reading - Physics for Alexander, Science Now is Thomas' selection and the Nature section of an Abeka book is Anthony's current reading.

Happy February all! So nice for us to see some of our month laid out . I admit to being a visual person. And to loving strewing...

P.S. Double click to see the board enlarged...

Say Leonie, I just tagged you for that housekeeping meme that has been going around. Love to see your answers!; 6:43 am
Leonie said...: Elena, I stole the idea from Dawn ( blushes).

I haven't done much blog visiting lately - life gets in the way! lol! - so didn't see the meme or the tag. Off to check it out now.; 8:33 am

Prayer of Consecration of St. Maximilian Kolbe

O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to thee. I, N___, a repentant sinner, cast myself at thy feet humbly imploring thee to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to thyself as thy possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases thee. If it pleases thee, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of thee: "She will crush your head," and, "Thou alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world."

Let me be a fit instrument in thine Immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed Kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever thou enters, one obtains the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through thy hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

V. Allow me to praise thee O Sacred Virgin.
R. Give me strength against thy enemies.

Prayer of St Bonaventure

Pierce, O most Sweet Lord Jesus, my inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Thy love, with true, serene, and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with love and longing for Thee, that it may yearn for Thee and faint for Thy courts, and long to be dissolved and to be with Thee.Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the bread of angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial bread, having all sweetness and savor and every delight of taste; let my heart ever hunger after and feed upon Thee, upon whom the angels desire to look, and may my inmost soul be filled with the sweetness of Thy savor; may it ever thirst after Thee, the fountain of life, the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the fountain of eternal light, the torrent of pleasure, the richness of the house of God.May it ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find Thee, run to Thee, attain Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee, and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with ease and affection, and with perseverance unto the end.May Thou alone be ever my hope, my entire assurance, my riches, my delight, my pleasure, my joy, my rest and tranquility, my peace, my sweetness, my fragrance, my sweet savor, my food, my refreshment, my refuge, my help, my wisdom, my portion, my possession and my treasure, in whom may my mind and my heart be fixed and firmly rooted immovably henceforth and for ever. Amen.
