Through a friend who recently passed away, RIP, I came in contact (only via email) with this woman B who was born into incredible poverty, horrible abused by her father, and is now an escort, drug addicted, living with a pimp who slaps her around and who she thinks isn’t so bad, and tells me this is just “who she is” and she can’t get better.

She contacted me just regarding a message my late friend left for me in a letter.

I learned a lot about her life recently and my heart goes out to her but I simply don’t think I can be a friend to her actively until she attempts to change.

I am terrified of her pimp and found out she knew my last name through our deceased friend, I told her things like he is an abuser and a terrible “boyfriend” and she needs to leave, I am now terrified he will read or find out the emails and come after me. They live in a small town several hours from me and do not know my address beyond the city or (HOPEFULLY) what I look like, and God willing he seems to just be a small time thug, with a criminal record and more jail time if he messes up, but I am still terrified to keep talking to her.

That and the fact she has no intention of quitting drugs and escorting and being in her son’s life, I can no longer endorse her by being her buddy buddy.

I intend to tell her what someone in my family had to be told; she is going to die before her son’s 10th birthday if she does not stop.

I am going to tell her, she will get too old for her line of work and be kicked to the curb, and needs to get an honest job.

I am going to tell her she CAN get clean if she prays to God her father in heaven.

Please pray for her

And I am a selfish fearful person so PLEASE PRAY for my safety, I have to be honest I did not expect to hear anything like this and feel like an idiot for running my mouth off about how her pimp is terrible.

This isn’t the first time I found out someone I knew was indirectly connected to dangerous people and I am a single young woman who is not a large person, I simply do not feel safe enough in this world to take that on.

Thank you all.
 
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.

PRAYER TO THE
HEART OF JESUS

O Jesus, we know you are gentle
and that you gave your Heart for us.
It was crowned with thorns through our sins.
We know that even today you are praying for us
so that we will not be lost.
Jesus, remember us when we fall into sin.

Through your most Sacred Heart,
make us all love one another.
Cause hatred to disappear among men.
Show us your love.
We all love you
and we want you to protect us
with your Heart of the Good Shepherd.
Come into each heart, Jesus!
Knock at the door of our hearts.
Be patient and persistent with us.
We are still closed up in ourselves
because we have not understood your will.
Knock continuously, O Jesus,
make our hearts open to you,
at least in remembering the Passion you have suffered for us.

Amen.

Angel of God, my Guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Offering up prayers for this person and for your safety. God bless you.
 
I feel for you, but our serious and momentary
troubles are what ADVANCES the Kingdom of
God, when you pray for her, pray for her pimp as
well, he probably doesn’t know or fear God,
pray that he will come around to revere His Name
and His Ordinances, Laws and Precepts.
Remember, man does not live by bread alone but
by EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS from
the Mouth of God, and that includes his Ordinances,
Laws and Commandments!!

Our Father, who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your Name,
Your kingdom come,
Your 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.

Yeah good point to pray for him but I also know God doesn’t want me to deliberately court trouble, I linked her with a friend near her who is as strong as an ox and the best hearted Christian you have met and that’s all I can do.
 
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with 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 thy Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
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.

Now and at the hour of our death. 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.
 
Thanks everyone.

I wrote B a strongly worded tough love letter with some things I needed to say. I tried to do it with love.

I also told her that as far as her “boyfriend” is concerned I do not exist and I told her I wasn’t kidding. I did mention I am armed so I hope that put the fear of God into the whole thing.

I am now afraid that she will not be sober and will get angry at my email and tell him and that scares me. I am hoping nothing comes of it. I just know that abusers really don’t like other people telling their victims they are worth more than that.

I’m moving soon I need to get as off the grid as possible realistically.

Please pray for my safety and peace of mind.

St. Thérèse of Liseux Prayer From “Story of A Soul”

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Amen.

†

Lord, thank you that you are with me right now.
Your love surpasses all fear.
I give you the anxiety I feel.
I surrender all my worries to you.
Clear my mind;
Calm my heart;
Still my Spirit;
Relax my being, that, I may
always glorify you in everything
I write, speak and do.

Amen.

Jesus, Help Me

In every need let me come to Thee with humble trust, saying,
Jesus, help me!

In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations,
Jesus, help me!

In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials,
Jesus, help me!

In the failure of my plans and hopes; in disappointments, troubles and sorrows,
Jesus, help me!

When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts,
Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Thy grace alone can assist me,
Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Thy tender love as Father and Savior,
Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me,
Jesus, help me!

When sickness and loneliness overcome me,
Jesus, help me!

Always, in weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind,
Jesus, help me and never forsake me.

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.

Amen.

†

Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love.
Sweet Heart of my Jesus, grant that I may always love You more.
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, set our hearts on fire with love of You.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like Your Heart.

Amen.

†

Prayers said. All will be well. Do not fear, the Lord is protecting you.
Do not be lonely, your guardian angel is beside you.
Be comforted, Mother will watch over you, and the
Holy Spirit will guide you.

Amen.

Prayer Against Depression
………….By St Ignatius of Loyola

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.

Amen.

Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,

My Jesus,
I believe that You are
present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and
I desire to receive You into my soul.
**Since I cannot at this moment receive
You sacramentally, come at least spiritually
into my heart. I embrace You
as if You were already there and
unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated
from You.

Amen.

Piarist fathers have taught this short act of
Spiritual Communion, popularized by St. Josemaria Escriva:

I wish, Lord, to receive You with the purity, humility and
devotion with which Your most holy Mother received You, with the
spirit and fervour of the saints.

Amen.

Thank You dear Lord Jesus, always and
everywhere, for everything.

Jesus, I trust in You.

Amen.

Praying for her. . . and for your safety also. Prayer of apology and thanksgiving because of forgetfulness to say “thank You” to Our Lord for all the blessings He pours on us and we do not even realize it. The thread could also be closed before we know it and I want to get the “thank You” in. 😃

ACT OF HOPE AND CONFIDENCE IN GOD
St. Claude de la Colombiere

:signofcross:
My God,
I believe most firmly that You watch over all who hope in You,
and that we can want for nothing when we rely upon You in all things.
Therefore I am resolved for the future…to cast all my cares upon You.
People may deprive me of worldly goods and status.
Sickness may take from me my strength and the means of serving You.
I may even jeopardize our relationship by sin, but my trust shall never leave me.
I will preserve it to the last moment of my life, and the powers of hell shall seek
…… in vain to grab it from me.
Let others seek happiness in their wealth and in their talents.
Let them trust in the purity of their lives,
the severity of their mortifications,
in the number of their good works,
the enthusiasm of their prayers,
as for me, my Rock and my Refuge, my confidence in you fills me with hope.
For You, my Divine Protector, alone have settled me in hope.
“This confidence can never be vain. No one, who has hoped in God, has
…… ever been confounded.”
I am assured, therefore, of my eternal happiness,
…… for I firmly hope in it and all my hope is in You.
“In You, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”
I know too well that I am weak and changeable. I know the power of
…… temptation against the strongest virtue.
I have seen stars fall and foundations of my world crack;
…… these things do not alarm me.
While I hope in You, I am sheltered from all misfortune,
…… and I am sure that my trust shall endure,
…… for I rely upon You to sustain this unfailing hope.
Finally, I know that my confidence cannot exceed Your generosity, and that I
…… shall never receive less than I have hoped for from You.
Therefore I hope that You will sustain me against my evil inclinations,
…… that You will protect me against the deceitful attacks of the evil one,
…… and that You will cause my weakness to triumph over every hostile force.
I hope that You will never cease to love me and that I shall love You unceasingly.
“In You, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”

St Claude de la Colombiere, pray for us!

Apology and Thanksgiving Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Creator of all and source of all goodness and love,
please look kindly upon us,
as we ask for forgiveness for not giving You thanks.
Please receive our heartfelt apology for the lack of gratitude.
Remind us at all times that You are always worthy of our thanks.

Thank You, Heavenly Father,
for all the graces and blessings
You have bestowed upon us:
our faith and religious heritage;
the Priests who bring us the Sacraments;
our life, food and shelter;
our health, the love we have for one another;
our family and friends.
Thank You for those things You so generously give us
…and of which we are not even aware.
FONT=&quot]Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please grant us the grace of having
…less “give me” and more gratitude throughout the coming
…years so that we may be aware that anything from You is good
…for You turn the “bad” into blessings for us.
Please Lord, grant us the grace of not forgetting that we can thank You
…over and over again for the same gift – and if we
…forget, may our Guardian Angel remind us.
Thank You, Lord.
I Love You, Lord.
Amen… …by Luz María
