bad dreams

[Morwenna]

Isn’t this how it’s supposed to be? Isn’t this what Jesus envisioned when he instituted the Church? Don’t forget our extended family, the Saints in Heaven and the Souls in Purgatory who constantly pray for us. We are all in this together.

This is what God really intended in humans…to heal not to hurt…to love not to hate. It is through the Church (family) that people become who their meant to be.

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.

The daughter is an adult, not a child. I don’t think bedtime stories are quite the thing, nor that she needs any explanation of how to pray the Rosary, at that age.

You know I just don’t know how I manage to read some posts. Twice yesterday, in two seperate posts, I made some silly presumptions. Since all my kids are under 10 I have this dreadful presumption that everybody’s kids are under 10.
I did not see the final comment in brackets refering to the fact that she was a college student through my own fault. I simply did not read through to the end. Please accept my apologies.

In that case I would suggest a little pouch of blessed salt under her pillow.

I’ll gladly pray for your daughter, Kate.

I’ll pray that the angels (especially St Michael and her Guardian Angel) will protect her from the evil dreams:

PRAYER TO THE HOLY ANGELS
Bless the Lord, All you His Angels,
You who are Mighty in strength And do His Will.
Intercede for me At the throne of God,
And by your unceasing watchfulness
Protect me in every danger
Of soul and body.
Bless the Lord, All you His Angels,
You who are Mighty in strength And do His Will.
Intercede for me At the throne of God,
And by your unceasing watchfulness
Protect me in every danger Of soul and body.
Obtain for me The grace of final perseverance,
So that after this life I may be admitted
To your glorious company
And may sing with you
The praises of God For all eternity.
O all you holy Angels And Archangels, Thrones and Dominations,
Principalities and Powers
And Virtues of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim
And especially you, My dear Guardian Angel,
Intercede for me
And obtain for me
The special favor I now ask
(State your intention here…).
Say 9 Our Father…

I have prayed the above prayer with the prayer to St Michael.

Dear Lord, I thank you for your mercy. I thank you for not leaving this young woman alone during this trial. You are all good and loving, and I thank you, Amen

Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Thanks.
I will offer another chaplet for the OP’s daughter.

My daughter hasn’t been having bad dreams lately, and I thank you all for your prayers. If she could only sleep through the night , it would be wonderful. She seems to toss turn, and awaken every few hours. She usually stays up late, but since she is doing an internship and getting up early, maybe this has something to do with it. It has only been the last two weeks that this is happening.
Please continue to pray for her to get some restful sleep.

Thank you again,

kate

I will also keep her in my prayers tonight, Hopefully its just a passing thing, Stress is usually the reason. Maybe see if something is really bothering her. They say you can act out things in your dreams. But hopefully its just a phase. Again will keep her in my prayers.

I will also keep her in my prayers. I agree that stress and anxiety are probably the biggest reasons I toss and turn some nights. Will prayer for her to find peace and a good night sleep…
