I declined an invitation from my parents to dine with them Saturday night. My son stays with them. They already knew I wouldn’t come Sunday, as their Easter might as well be Satanic–roast pork loin–the same every year since I was a chld–and no mention of Jesus. Easter was a terrible day in my childhood.

For certain reasons I am experiencing confsion and despair in my heart, mind, and body–I have posted here about my physical, mental, and emotional condition, the product of physical damage and falling into the cracks of the psychiatric system, never to return.

I just don’t understand my life, I have real faith even though I don’t attent church, I am afraid to go into people’s houses–terrified–and that includes even Jesus’s–there are people there who have evil in them as well as good and nowhere can I find understanding.

I feel so lost. I am staying at home (yesterday, today, and tomorrow) to spend a prayerful Easter. I am safe. I am provided for. I trust in the Lord. But I’m crying.

Please pray for me.
 
Dear lynnehelen, I’m not sure what to say other than that I will pray for you when I pray my next rosary. Please do not give up. Ask Jesus for help every day. Make the sign of the cross often and when you enter places that you are afraid. God will be with you. :harp: TeresaDiane
 
LynneHelen, I am so sorry you’re feeling such despair and fear of others and their intentions. I pray you find the peace you need and the love that is around you. I hope you are being helped with your mental heath issues, my daughter had councelling which for her has been brilliant and has made a huge difference for her life.

I will keep you in my prayers… God bless

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.

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 by this confidence,
We fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother;
to thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not our petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer them. Amen.
 
There is nothing Satanic about roast pork loin. Read Acts 10:9-13 -
9 The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 And he became hungry and desired something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance 11 and saw the heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “No, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” 15 And the voice came to him again a second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call common.” 16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.
