Your life is such a gift! Please know we treasure it and pray that you will find the grace to know this, too! Do not despair!!! I will offer you up at mass today and ask for healing.

I prayed for you all through the night, and offered my Mass and communion for you today.
The readings of today have such a beautiful message how God provides for us -- His giving is so generous, it is beyond our human understanding and in these two cases, MIRACULOUS.
The Responsorial Psalm spoke to me this morning particularly for your distress.
Quote:
| The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs. |
|
|
Act upon that reassurance. He is holding you in the palm of His Hand. PLEAD with Him. He WILL answer all your needs. Right now might not seem like it, but He is so loving and caring. Even your suffering He sends has a special imprint just for you, because He loves you so much.
I love the Parable of the Vine and the Branches, John 15.
Quote:
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you....
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. |
|
|
You are loved and special. Don't let these thoughts shadow this reality!

Friend, I pray that the light of morning has brought with it help and comfort.
I am keeping watch.
Be safe, friend.
I'm going to Mass shortly and bring you with me.
Love,

I am praying for you today, right now. 
You are a treasure that God created... He has plans for you: plans to prosper you, to give you hope and a future! This is His promise.
You are a daughter of the King. He is not going to abandon you or let you drift, hopeless and alone. Right now he is sending his angels to help and guard you from this attack.
Know that you are surrounded by so much love and the prayers of so many. Let us be your shield at this moment.
I am offering my day for you!

I have heard from my friend. She made it through the night.
Let's pray that today she is able to break her isolation, reaching out to the people near her in trust and truth.
Have a blessed Sunday, all .
Love,

Praise God!!!!!!!!!
When I lost my son and all felt so dark to me, these two Psalms were something I clung to, as if it to a lifeline.
Quote:
I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
My eye wastes away because of grief,
it grows weak because of all my foes.
Depart from me all you workers of evil;
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
The Lord has heard my supplication;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
Psalm 6:6-9
...
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
And those who know thy name put their trust in thee,
for thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those who seek thee.
Psalm 9:9-10 |
|
|
He does not turn away from those who seek Him.
Seek Him, dear friend!
Seek Him in those that would assist you and love you - out of the shadows, and into the light of truth.
Seek Him in the Blessed Sacrament and let His grace be sufficient.
My prayers continue all day without ceasing.

Praying for you. May your guardian angel comfort you and turn to him for help as well. He is there as a gift from God to guide you through your life.
Our family just offered the Angelus for you and will continue to pray for you.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Love,

Psalm 23 sustained and sustains me when I get low periods.
Quote:
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff comfort me. |
|

It does feel like total darkness. Do try to talk to some loved ones. Having dark thoughts I tended to keep to myself and not talk to anyone. It is not that no one cares but people don't always see because they are busy with their own lives.
When I finally opened up to family members and friends I was overwhelmed with their love and support. It was then I realized and saw how much they needed me and would miss me.
I really hope you can talk with some loved ones. You do not need to go through this alone.

Dear sister in Christ, I am praying for your needs and begging your guardian angel to ever be at your side watching you and guiding you to lean on our Lord Jesus' sacred breast and let the comforting Mantle of Our Blessed Mother warm and protect you through this evening and night.
I am praying.

Dear suffering sister, I offered my Mass for you this morning and I have been keeping you in my prayers since I read about your need. May God's holy angels surround you with their protection and light!
I will continue to pray for you. I pray that you will be able to turn to those who love you so much and share your fears and heartache with them, and that they will be able to support and help you to wholeness and healing. I pray that you will not listen to the lies in your head that are tempting you to despair, but that you will experience the peace of the kingdom of God and the knowledge of His closeness to you. There is hope! The hopelessness you feel will pass; please do not abandon hope!

I just wanted to peek in here and offer more prayers. I hope you know how special you are. God created you for a unique purpose that no one else can fulfill. There's a reason you're here :)
May He shower you with His Mercy and kindness in this your time of need.
O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
- St. Ignatius of Loyola

I have been praying you through the day, dear one! We love you and are lifting you up here -- my whole family and parents. We remembered you in Mass and in our evening prayers. Hold on and have hope. Christ and His blessed mother love you DEARLY! We will keep praying!

I have been with you in prayer all day, friend.
I have been thinking of you. And praying for you each and every time my thoughts turned your way.
My prayers continue throughout the evening!
