Hello my Brothers and Sisters

I suffer from congestive heart failure and a spine injury and I have a very weak immune system – being on antibiotics for my entire life.

I have been in and out of the hospital many times.

In January, my weight was 503. I have been able to bring down my weight down today to 361 lbs.

From February to March, I was home and the weight continued to pour off of me (never had bariatric surgery).

Then this virus came along and I started not feeling well.

And since then my life has been in the darkest place it ever has been. God said He would never leave nor forsake me. But I keep getting sicker and today I am sickest of all. Where is He?

Back in November, I could no longer walk. Friends had to push me in a wheelchair.

Now I only need a cane.

But I am very sick and even if it is not “the” virus and I just cannot get better. I am terrified.

While in the hospital in November, I got a call from a Housing Unit that I had applied for had a room open with a roll-in shower.

I figured it was God telling me to move there so I went and signed the paperwork. But I just knew I did not want to live there.

And because I had to keep going back into the hospital, I was unable to move into the apartment.

And then the virus struck and my happiness disappeared.

The housing people have been so understanding as they do not seem to want me moving in until this virus thing clears up anyway.

In closing, my very aggressive leftist sister who found out I was paying for a place I was not living in became furious and she has told me “You cannot live with Dad and Mom anymore.”

But my parents want me here. My Dad (who is 90) is so grateful for the rent I give him. But I cannot continue to pay more than one rent. With my parents, I will not be alone and depressed and I will be able to watch over them. I worry about their needs constantly. And here I can hopefully eventually get well.

Also, I feel so wrong about continuing to pay for a unit that I no longer need as I no longer need a roll-in shower as I am not in a wheelchair anymore. I think of paralyzed people who may need it.

And if my sister forces me to go into this housing unit, I will become so depressed and I cannot imagine getting better.

I am so sorry this post was so long. Here is my prayer request:

1 That I have the courage tomorrow to FINALLY call or email the housing people and say I have lost all this weight and no longer need the unit (the truth) and ask if I could be let out of the lease.

2 That I will have the courage to tell my sister this truth and that she will understand and not pressure me. (I am absolutely terrified of her.)

As an adult child of alcoholism and dysfunction, I have always been so afraid of people and what they will think. My abusive alcoholic older brother killed himself when I was 15.

I say the daily rosary (sometimes all 4 mysteries) for every single person who is praying for me. And I am about to start my daily Chaplet right now for all of your needs.

Thank you so very much.

I need your prayers that I get well physically (my chest is burning right now) and that I resolve these fear and financial issues.

VitoJoe 🙂

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
I’m glad that you’ve been making progress, brother. Congrats on losing so much weight! 😀

I pray that the Lord resolves your housing situation and that He gives your sister an understanding of where you need to go. May the Lord also heal your body and help you lose more weight. Amen.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.



Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.



Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

 
Father pleas allow Joe to tap into his inner courage. May he use this to do what is right. Allow him to hear your voice and for him to make the move and talk for himself. May he live a health and strong life in Christ. With the grace of the Holy Ghost, touch and heal Joe. May he walk strong in Christ. In your name, Jesus amen!
 
Please forgive me, my Brothers and Sisters

I feel so wrong to keep asking for prayers

For a decade I did not even need to ask.

But my life is in absolute turmoil physically and mentally.

I have not found the courage yet to let go of the apartment. I can no longer afford it.

Especially since I believe we are entering end times with its economic collapse.

Please pray that today I will FINALLY get the courage.

Thank you so very much.

Please say a little prayer that I will have the courage to send it by Monday.

Off to pray the rosary now for all of you.

Thank you Katherine and everyone else

Today is the day (Friday) I finally have to call to let go of this apartment.

Please pray that I have the courage to finally do it.

Thank you so very much

Thank you so very much, my dear friend Katherine, and everyone else who has been praying for me.

I just said my Chaplet of Divine Mercy, St Teresa of Calcutta Emergency Novena for all of your needs.

And earlier today I said 3 rosaries of the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious mysteries for all of your intentions.

I am now down over 150 lbs since late last year. I need to give up this apartment because I am no longer in a wheelchair and give it to someone who needs to but I am afraid of my sister who does not want me to. (I know it sounds weird.)

Please pray for this intention.

I love you all so very much.

VitoJoe
