Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ’s side, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels
Forever and ever
Amen ***

Lord, we beseech You to enliven the presence of Your Holy Spirit within Diane, Joe and her mother. Strengthen them to find that peace which Your Son left us. May the warmth of Your Divine love melt the hardened heart and allow it to return to the unity of the Sacrament of marriage. Father, we thank You and we bless Your Holy Name for this test of their faith, as You have purified them as gold in fire. Graciously allow them to give You thanks and praise for each morning that You bless them with. We beseech You to focus their thoughts upon Your Kingdom, the eternal, non-perishing and perfect place to which we all aspire. Reassure them of the trustworthiness of Your promises, sustaining them by Your love. We ask this, as imperfect sinners who rely on Your mercy, in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!
 
I humbly thank you all for your prayers. It has been a vicious struggle the past few weeks. Joe stormed out of the apt the day before mom and i were to leave for Florida. He did not come home that night. The movers came and loaded the truck and Joe showed up with his two sons. I said “Welcome” and they said they were there to protect their father’s “interests”…things went from bad to worse with him throwing remote to me that went with a small tv. I left without saying a word because it was to hard and I was crying too much. His son stayed with him a few days and then Joe kicked him out for stealing his meds (the son is a drug addict)…I called Joe and the first time started off good but ended with him in a sudden change of mood and being very ugly…I called for about 3 days straight with no answer. I figured he just didn’t want to talk to me but did leave messages each time asking him to consider coming down to Florida where his original drs and treatment team were…I finally got the oncologist (who wasn’t going to release any information until I reminded them that Joe signed a form saying to release information to me and unless that had been revoked they were obligated to tell me what his conditiion was) and they told me he was admitted to ICU with another blood clot in the brain. I have called ICU every day …the nurse told me he wanted to check out of the hospital and it took them an hour and a half to talk him into staying and it was too dangerous for him to check himself out. I asked the nurse to ask him if he would talk to me and he said “no”…I was going to go up there but he said he didn’t want to see me. Before all this happened he called my mother and told her that I took all his money out of the checking account…I DIDN’T…It was a joint account that we had and I called the bank and spent about an hour on the phone with them to find out that Joe transferred the money himself to a private account he set up…He told me maybe in a year he would see how he feels about me. I saw our family dr this week. Mom had an appt and the dr knows Joe very well. He seems to think with his actions that maybe the cancer has spread to his brain OR that it could be the clots, chemo and heavy pain meds…All I do is cry because I can’t be with him. What scares me is that he may pass away and his children will have him cremated…he absolutely does not want that…The nurse has said that he has really severe mood swings and they keep him medicated pretty good…they won’t release him unless he has a caregiver (it has always been me) or he goes into a facility…My heart feels like it has broken in half…this just isn’t the same man that married me and loved me…Mom and I are struggling. The jobs are not panning out and I am applying for everything…Good Friday was so hard for me…thinking about our Saviors death and thinking about the death of our marriage and the love of what was once a good man…I am trying my best to get some little bit of self esteem back and post replies again to prayers…but it is hard for me. I find myself just staring off into space or crying. The dr. did give me an rx for stress meds and walmart filled them for $4. Mom is doing good… We are going to my dad’s grave tomorrow on Easter to plant an easter lilly. I have talked to our priest here and he had some wonderful suggestions for me and assured me that Jesus understands and that I wasn’t going to end up in Hell for coming back to Florida. I am sorry this is so long but so much has happened. You guys are so wonderful and so special to me and ALWAYS in each and every prayer. Please keep praying for Joe…and most of all Easter blessings to all!!!
I love you so much. Diane
 
I’m glad to hear from you again. I was wondering.
Everything sounds so difficult and painful.
I hold you very much in my prayers and Masses Diane.
I’m thankful that the priest has been helpful.
I beg God to help you every way He can. He knows you are so tired and grieved. I’m so glad you have your Mom. Love, Trishie :console:

Praying for Joe too.
 
Loving God,

We lift up our intentions today for our dear sister Diane who has been through an enormous amount of suffering and anxiety over the past several months and before. Please send your comforting and consoling Holy Spirit to be with her and her mother as they embark on a new chapter of life together. Please relieve dear Diane of all stress and anxiety and help her find the answers to the basic necessities of daily life (financial, housing, insurance, transportation, medical care for mother). Your daughter Diane has carried a heavy cross in union with our Lord Jesus, please help her to have the peace and strength she needs through your beloved son Jesus.

We also pray for a change in the hardened heart of her husband, that he might find his way back to you, O Lord.

We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, who gave everything you asked for your Holy people, and who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.

Amen.
 
Happy to hear from you Diane …
Continued prayers for all of you
 
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty yourself out upon us.
Oh Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us. I trust in You!
 
My dear Saviour,
I unite all my affections with the affections of Your most loving Heart;
and I offer them, thus united, to Your eternal Father,
and beseech Him in Your name to vouchsafe,
for Your love, to accept them.
Amen.
 
Jesus please ease Diane’s mind so tormented with doubts and pain.

Seeking God’s will
Our God, You see me anxious about discerning the right course, and then my subsequent doubts. I fear that if I misconstrue Your will, someone may be denied what You would delight to give through me. Bless them, supplying what my powerlessness or confusion denies them.

I trust that whatever good I honestly attempt will be guided and transformed by You, regardless of my obvious failures. Perhaps when I die, I may discover that my present life hides the overflowing richness of Your love embracing others through my efforts and prayers.

Accept my gift of myself to You. Temper my faith and faithfulness in Your love within the events of my life. Burn away my sinfulness and apathy through daily responsibility and prayer. Let everything for which You created me, be completely fulfilled. Worship and delight Yourself in my life.

Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen

Diane, keep taking it one day at a time. It sounds like there is not much that you can do for Joe except pray for him and his doctors. Try not to think about funeral arrangements until the time comes. (It’s just an added stress that you don’t need right now). Your health is important too! You are so giving and this is beautiful. I really admire that quality in you. I will continue praying for you and your mom.

Lifting you in prayer.
St Gabriel

Dear Diane,

I specifically mentioned your name to the Lord at Easter Sunday Mass. I asked Him to have mercy on you and take care of you. You are always in my heart. I will continue praying! I love you, Diane.

Keeping you in sincerre and fervant prayer during this Holy Week. May you receive strength and security.

A good friend of mine once told me during a troublesome time that a block of stone hit only one time with a hammer and chisel, has only a scar. But when that same hammer and chisel hits the stone over and over it becomes a beautiful work of art. These are our trials in life which prepare us for that greatest of glory in the bosom of God.

Diane, I think what the good Deacon said here is so true and beautiful.

Someone once told me that when you feel the pain so intensely, that it is because the Lord is holding you so close that you can feel the thorns from His Crown.

Be at peace with your decision Diane, I don’t think too many people could have endured what you have had to go through for as long as you did. A good Priest told me a long time ago that once you come to a decision about something, stay with that decision and be at peace in the Lord with it.

I can’t imagine why you thought you would go to hell for the decision you made, its probably just because you are under way too much stress still with trying to find a job and worrying about Joe and your Mother’s and your own health.

. We’ll all keep you, your husband and your Mother in our prayers, and I am sure that many more do who don’t post. God bless you and keep you in His loving arms and I will ask our dear Blessed Mother Mary to send you angels to minister to you in all your needs.
 
Once more I thank you for your continued prayers. I am so confused right now I don’t even know how up to date everyone is. Joe was in Intensive Care for a week and the nursing station would tell me how he was (only after I told him he had signed a release of information to me and they were obligated by law to tell me how he was). Yesterday I took a chance and called his room (he is now in a step-down unit in oncology). His son (the drug addict) answered the phone and said Joe wouldn’t talk to me. This morning I called the nursing station and was told I couldn’t receive any information from now on. The son had urged Joe to revoke my “privilege”. I am facing the reality that the marriage is over even though we are not divorced or legally separated. Mom and I are struggling…I still cannot find a job – even as a waitress. Joe had promised my mom 4 years ago that he would take care of her forever and she was like his own mother. When my dad died, he left mom a little over $150,000 (we were never rich) and through the 4 years Joe borrowed $30,000 here to pay off debt, etc. etc. etc. and now she only has about $25,000 left. This is what we have to live on until I find work (hopefully in law again)…Things are getting desperate …my mental state is at an all time low because now I won’t know if he is alive or has passed away. I have been told to stop calling the hospital. This all hurts so bad!!! I am trying my best to build up some little self esteem but it is hard to do. Joe has 2 blood clots in his head and now 1 in his arm. When he was in ICU the nurses wanted me to send his Living Will to them but then overnight he had 100% improvement and was moved to a step down unit in oncology. I haven’t sent the living will because I’m pretty sure his son will say “she just wants you dead”…that’s been his disrepect for me for years. The hospital records say “full support” iif anything happens. I know he doesn’t want to be cremated and I am still afraid at this point if he “should” pass away that his kids will have him cremated because that is the cheapest way out…Not working, no insurance and unemployment has run out (i have a waiting period and then I think the 13 week extension will kick in)…I can sure use some prayers right now…not just for me and mom but for Joe too. His mind is not right!..Please, please, pleases pray for us. I love you all…Diane
