Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
O God we thank and praise you for the gift of life - Your gift to each one of us, given a day at a time.
Let us never be over anxious about the future, but leave it in the hands of God.
Each day arranged by Him is His gift, His act of love for each of us.
Lord enlighten and comfort, those who through pain, fear, despair or any evil influence, may be tempted to injure or destroy the precious gift of life entrusted to them. Amen.

Hi Norm, One of my brothers struggles with OCD and he is my hero. He was hospitalized several times due to his illness, and then began transitioning to an assisted living community. He lived in a huge building, which was truly a Godsend, because he found walking to be therapeutic and we get a lot of rain out here in the Northwest.
The search for the right medication was a real trial. As I’m sure you know, it takes a long time to wean onto a new med and then even more time see if it helps. If not, you’re up for weaning off before you can even try another med. It takes such patience and perseverance.
I thank God for getting him through this process. I also thank him for sending an amazing specialist our way. A combination of behavioral therapy (My brother had huge germ concerns) and medications started the ball rolling in a better direction. I know it has not been easy at all for my bro, and every now and then he calls my parents, siblings and myself to request prayer, but every day is a victory.
I think that those struggling with mental illnesses are the strongest people in our society. They bear incredible burdens. My brother is my hero. He can be counted on to always try do do what is pleasing to our Lord and to seek his will. Twice a week he volunteers to help those who are homeless and he has been mugged twice on his way to do this work. It has not stopped him. He lives simply and shares with the poor. He now has a small apartment that he maintains by himself. I hope that in his story you will see some grounds for hope.
We all were together at Easter and it was so wonderful to see him relaxed and enjoying our family time. Truly, Our Lord is good.
I have told my brother about the CAF group for those struggling with OCD and/or scrupulosity. It is a wonderful group;I’ve lurked on their site quite a bit to see if I should recommend it and the people who are members are so suppportive and caring. They can empathize from shared lived experience, and, when you are having a rough time, they will be right ther assuring you that the darkest hour preceeds the dawn. I hope you check them out. I will keep you in prayer and I will ask my brother to pray for you as well. I trust in his prayer and I trust in Our Lord.
Dear God, Thank you for bringing Norm into this world. May our prayers on his behalf be pleasing to you. May his life be a testimony to your grace. May he be born up in the face of adversity. May he find peace in you as he orders his life towards you will. May he find community among those who love you and solace near your Eucharistic presence. May this forum become a source of sustenance and formation and celebration for him.
May he make straight crooked paths and find you at the end of every road. Lord, you have the power to expel demons. May we who seek to tough the hem of your garment, experience your healing power and sing your praises as we go about our everyday lives.May we be open to your presence and give of ourselves to others and when we are finally called home, may we be blessed to meet you face to face. Amen

and give you peace.” Num 6:24-26
