Dawn has not yet broken. Slowly she rises and makes her way down stairs.
“The coffee smells so good”, she says to herself. Grabbing her favorite mug, the beige one with the lavender flowers, she pours herself a cup and holds it close to her face, taking in both the warmth and the aroma it offers. “Thank you Lord”, she says quietly, and walks over to the sofa.

She loves this time of the morning. The house is still and the dog is nestled by the fireplace that her husband has lit for her.
After a few sips of coffee, she pulls out her rosary beads. She kisses the crucifix before beginning to pray and wonders how many others throughout the world are doing the same thing right now.
An image of God’s children comes to mind. They have all just risen and are gathering themselves together. They lift their voices in praise for the many gifts they have received and in prayer for the many needs for themselves and those closest to them. Like the holy apostles and the saints that had come before them, these children of God pray that they, too, might imitate the divine light.
“Imagine if we all begin each day like this”, she thought to herself…….
Peacefulness settles into her soul and she begins to pray for all though who do not believe.
"Dear children; through the immeasurable love of God I am coming among you and I am persistently calling you into the arms of my Son. With a motherly heart I am imploring you, my children, but I am also repeatedly warning you, that concern for those who have not come to know my Son be in the first place for you. Do not permit that by looking at you and your life, they are not overcome by a desire to come to know Him. Pray to the Holy Spirit for my Son to be impressed within you. Pray that you can be apostles of the divine light in this time of darkness and hopelessness. This is a time of your trial. With a rosary in hand and love in the heart set out with me. I am leading you towards Easter in my Son. Pray for those whom my Son has chosen that they can always live through Him and in Him - the High Priest. Thank you." 03/02/2012
May we all lift our prayers for those that do not believe in God and for all those that do not yet know him.

I'm so glad to read your dedication at the end. I pray for those folks often, especially during Holy Seasons.
I also often look around Easter mass ... at all those who only show up that day ... and pray that they are moved to return each week.
God Bless.
Thank you Michael. I pray that too!
Thank you Daily Grace.
God bless.
