The coronavirus pandemic has left us at home and forced to remake and reshape our lives. I work in a hospital so I have to work. I am a liaison in the social work department but I have seen so much death that I feel that I am crumbling. I am heartbroken. I am ashamed to say that I drank Friday night into Saturday and I spent most of the day and last night crying and that is totally out of character for me. I couldn’t sleep last night and I am very depressed. My mother, who lives with me, knows that I was drunk and I am so disgusted with myself because alcoholism has been a huge problem in our family. I am 40 and still unmarried and have no children and I am weaker and more lonely than I have ever been in my life. I have to be strong for my family and for my patients and coworkers but I don’t know if I can. The only thing that makes me happy is that other people seem to be happy because they’re coming closer to their families and I think that’s wonderful. I am also happy that some people will become better because we are becoming reacquainted with what really matters in life. Please pray for me and Happy Easter to you all.
 
Thank you Lord for this persons hard work. Help them to forgive themselves for their weakness and give them strength to deal with their job in Jesus name amen
 
Dear Lord please help and bless this person. Help them to give all their weakness and troubles to you and let you carry the burdens and just work through this person so they know they don’t have to do it alone because you are always with them. Please end this epidemic ASAP. In Jesus’ Name I humbly pray. Thank you in advance. Amen.

Holy Mary and St. Joseph please pray for this person and their family and for an end to the epidemic ASAP. Amen.

Hail Mary…
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.

That’s a beautiful icon and thank you and God Bless you for your kind words. I never want to feel this way again. I have prayed often for God to allow me to meet a woman so could have a family but perhaps I am meant to be alone. I will continue to pray for this as I am not called to a life of a priest. Thanks again.

It is a Polish icon that was very dear to Saint Pope John Paul II.
I hope you will have soon an answer to your prayers but I also pray that you will have strength in your current situation and that in all circumstances of life you will have in your heart Peace. Happy Easter!
 
Thank you! I think it was coming home to no one, my mother and stepfather don’t count because I’m not attached to my mom like many other people in my situation and she lives in the upstairs apartment anyway. Coming home to an empty house after all that hit my very hard. The Bible was right, man is not meant to be alone. Thank you and I pray that I will have the strength to endure all that is happening now and please pray for my coworkers too as we are all stretched beyond the limit. Happy Easter!!
 
Thank you (name removed by moderator), I know that He is with me. I never blamed Him as I perhaps would’ve done in my younger years. I also pray everyday and try to keep my relationship with Christ strong and have for years now. I even pray for my enemies. Alcohol is not the answer, I know that also as it has already caused me much heartache and my family story is tragic because of alcoholism. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much in my life. I have to gather my strength because I have to go back in tomorrow. Maybe with the help of God I’ll meet a nice nurse. Lol
Thank you and Happy Easter to you and yours.
 
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.

Remember that we are all human, and that these are difficult times.I am close to many who work in health care, and it is not uncommon to feel like this. Please take care of your self mentally, spiritually and physically, as you are working in a war-like setting now. I thank you for your Christ-Like service to others.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths For His Name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil;
For you are with me;
Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life. And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord My whole life long.
Psalm 23:1-6
 
Thank you for your kind words and prayer for me. May God Bless you for your kindness.
 
Thank you njlisa, praying the rosary is a very great part of our faith life and I am glad that I have seen these posts all over CA over Easter weekend. God Bless you and keep you.
