I seem to have arrived at a liminal time in life, the threshold of something new. Both of my parents and my mother in-law are in their 80’s and experiencing failing health. My sister is addicted to drugs, is in poor health and has sent a number of suicide notes to her out of state siblings (including me). I lost my job in 2006 and have struggled to find work here and there for more than 4 years now. Our Bishop closed our church - it was too “liberal” in its pursuit of Vatican II changes and he is much more conservative than our prior Bishop. As a result my youngest 2 have not been confirmed in the church.

Through all of this Christ has drawn me closer and I have worked hard to correct the sinful ways of my youth - it has been a time of great growth and blessings. I started a Men’s group, began working weekly with a spiritual director and have joined a 12step program to help me deal with a history of abuse and addictions in my family of origin. I now find myself without a car, living in the country and wanting to perform service work - however I’m not sure if that is God’s will for me right now. My wife works with poor children that have developmental problems and volunteers extensively in the community.

Please pray that I may have the patience and courage to see clearly the Lord’s will and the wisdom to act on it. I’m feeling someone stuck and don’t know which way to go right now.
Thank you for your prayers.
 
Holy Mother Mary please hear our prayers for your son’s intentions. May the angels protect and guide him.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
for tskrobacz and all his family.

MEMORARE,
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy 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
 
Praying for you and your family, that graces rain down on all of you to accomplish his will in all of your life’s. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. 👍
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
 
God, teach us to be patient,
teach us to go slow,
Teach us how to wait on You
when our way we do not know.

Teach us sweet forbearance
when things do not go right
so we remain unruffled
when others grow uptight.

Teach us how to quiet our racing, rising hearts
so we might hear the answer
You are trying to impart.

Teach us to let go, dear God,
and pray undisturbed
until our hearts are filled with inner peace
and we learn to know your will.

Amen.
 
Praying for God’s will to be done in your life. May God bring to completion the good work he is doing in your life. May you know his will with the help of the Holy Spirit and your spiritual director. May you be abandoned to God’s Merciful Love fully confident in His Merciful Love. Amen.
