Praying for you and your whole family, especially your husband. Iāll also be praying for you all during Adoration tomorrow. Donāt give up!
Healing of the Sick by a Priest several times is appropriate. Each of Prescious You three Know how Your Sharing has inspired Us to Pray for You three. We hope Each of Know!Please continue to pray for us. Joe is having such a hard time with his chemo, headaches, etcā¦We really need prayers.

Peace be with you. Your sister in christ,Know that You arent alone, though it doesnt make it any easier for you. Sometimes I question God as to why also, seems like nothing makes sense & I suffer from deep depression too, for yrs, But I pray a Lot , ask for Gods mercy all the time. A Priest told me to Give everything to the Lord, Lay it at his feet & he will make something beautiful, I can only hang on to my faith, I realize, sometimes there just seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel, Good Luck, Keep strong! I Know its hard, but try if You can. They Say if God brings You to it, He will bring You through it. Take a break from it sometime if You can. You must change your environment for a awhile to keep your sanity. I will remember you at mass when I go tonight or tomorrowI have been absolutely miserable. I am lost, depressed and hopeless. As you know from my prior posts, we are in Philly right now. Itās cold and i donāt have many warm clothes. Sometimes I just donāt want to wake up and see what else is in āstoreā for me. Your prayers have uplifted me tremendously but today is a struggle. Absolutely NO ONE should have to go through what we are going through. I never thought I would end up this way after spending all my life building a career and then by becoming a caregiver losing EVERYTHING. Iām bitter, severely depressed and just at my witās end on it all. I canāt do anything here in Philly as far as a job goes. How can I work when people depend on me to care for them. How can I look forward to waking up when there is nothing to do but look at gloomy skies, a tearful husband with pancreatic cancer and my 84 year old mother who cries and sits in her (deceased) husbandās chair all day. Iām on medication but it doesnāt help enough. I know the Glory of God but why on earth is god putting us through all of this. I just opened the mail and found among all the foreclosure notices a charge that Joeās son made to Joeās bank account for the sonās computer. Joe loves it up here. he says he is near his amily. I shouldnāt say this but I hate it up here. Iām cold. I miss my church and I miss the people I was close to. As far as a jobā¦itās not āWHATā you knowā¦itās āWHOā you know and I donāt KNOW ANYONE UP HERE. Christmas is depressing to me right now and I donāt even feel like going to mass tomorrow. What is wrong with me? Iāve never felt this bad or this low before>>>

Sister in Prayer Diane, have you presented your situation to your local Catholic Churchāes? Is most important step. Our Lord is in His Church. Prayer trees, transportation, especially Anointing of the Sick. If nearest Church too busy with Their word, the Next one wonāt be. Several groups in Each Church.I have been absolutely miserable.

I just read your prayer and thank youā¦Thank you for your prayer tip. Last night in my evening prayers I asked God to help me so I could stay strong for them. I also asked him to show me the way. Was this wrong? You mention a very important issue to me. In fact on the forums I read the beautiful words that come from the prayers and my own are almost childlike I am embarrassed to admitā¦I just wanted to thank you for an eye opener. Today Joe goes Chemo and I havenāt looked at my CCC in quite a while so I think Iāll take it along and read it. God Bless you my dear friend.Stay strong, Prayer Warrior Diane!
