My Christmas Reads

Since Christmas is around the corner and we are currently in Advent I have started reading Christmas books. Here are some of the Christmas books I have read, am currently reading and hope to read this year. I also have one book I had to stop reading:

A book I stopped reading:

I did read All I want for Christmas about half way but I stopped because I felt it was too racy for my liking in parts. This book is by various Irish female Artists.

Book I have read:

I finished reading Letters from Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien and Baillie Tolkien. I felt it was a great read. I read this on an old kindle. It contained images of the actual letters in written format along with the print format. I found that he images on the book that I found hard to read on the kindle I have so I will probably get this book in print format for a better experience. I'd say it would be easier to read on newer kindles. I love the letters that Tolkien gives to his children from Father Christmas. They are very heartwarming and homely.

Book I am currently reading:

I am currently reading Jesus of Nazareth the Infancy Narratives by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI on my kindle. I did read it half way through at one point however I can't remember what I read of it so I'm starting again.

Books I hope to read:

I hope to reread A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and Christmas Angel by Leslea Wahl again this year.

Self Confidence and How it has affected me

I done this blog post a few months ago O ne of the main reasons I have anxiety is because I have low self confidence. My low self confidence is more so in the way of my ability in being able to do future tasks rather than in how I look. Some nights I ask myself questions like how will I cope tomorrow if I don't sleep tonight?, will I be able to do the task I set out for myself tomorrow? therefore telling my self that I am not strong enough in such a situation. That sort of thinking lowers my self-confidence. This still happens me at times but now I try and tell myself that no matter what it will be ok. I am strong enough to deal with it. If I feel I am too anxious to think that way I talk to my brother and he tells me they are just thoughts, I will be strong enough to deal with it and then it reassures me that it will be ok and I will get through this. The last few weeks my self-confidence has gotten better and I am taking on more tasks. I feel I have a new found freedom. I used t

Novena to St. Francis Xavier (4th of March to the 12th of March 2020)

Most amiable and most loving St. Francis Xavier, in union with thee I reverently adore the Divine Majesty. The remembrance of the favours with which God blessed thee during life, and of thy glory after death, fills me with joy. I implore thee to obtain for me, through thy powerful intercession, the inestimable blessing of living and dying in the state of grace. I also beseech thee to obtain the special favour I ask of this Novena. (Make your request here...) But, if what I ask is not for the glory of God, and the good of my soul, I pray and desire that which is the most conductive to both. Amen. Pray for us, St. Francis Xavier. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let Us Pray. O God, Who didst vouchsafe, by the preaching and miracles of Saint Francis Xavier, to join unto Thy Church the nations of the Indies, grant, we beseech Thee, that we who reverence his glorious merits may also imitate his example, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen. Pray three times the Our Fath
