😦 It sounds like you’re all suffering so much right now, Diane - but its times like this that we need to turn to Jesus and Mary in prayer even more. They fully understand your suffering and will help you through whatever life brings you.

Praying for you and your whole family, especially your husband. I’ll also be praying for you all during Adoration tomorrow. Don’t give up! šŸ™‚
 
Praying for you with Bible verses from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Mid-morning reading (Terce) Jeremiah 29:11,13 Ā©
I know the plans I have in mind for you – it is the Lord who speaks – plans for peace, not disaster, reserving a future full of hope for you. When you seek me you shall find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

Noon reading (Sext) Jeremiah 30:18 Ā©
The Lord says this: Now I will restore the tents of Jacob, and take pity on his dwellings.

Afternoon reading (None) Baruch 3:5-6 Ā©
Do not call to mind the misdeeds of our ancestors, but remember instead your power and your name, for you are indeed the Lord our God.
 
Please continue to pray for us. Joe is having such a hard time with his chemo, headaches, etc…We really need prayers.
Diane
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! :blessyou: :gopray2: :crossrc: :hug3: :grouphug: You are Our heroes!
 
My dear Diane,

May God bless upon you. I really understand how you feel at this moment and I envy you as you still able to comfort me in my post until I couldn’t hold my tears. I will pray for you and your family. May God also gives you comfort in overcoming your problems.

:signofcross: Peace be with you. Your sister in christ,
Rosita
 
I have been absolutely miserable. I am lost, depressed and hopeless. As you know from my prior posts, we are in Philly right now. It’s cold and i don’t have many warm clothes. Sometimes I just don’t want to wake up and see what else is in ā€œstoreā€ 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. I’m bitter, severely depressed and just at my wit’s end on it all. I can’t 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) husband’s chair all day. I’m on medication but it doesn’t 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 Joe’s son made to Joe’s bank account for the son’s computer. Joe loves it up here. he says he is near his amily. I shouldn’t say this but I hate it up here. I’m cold. I miss my church and I miss the people I was close to. As far as a job…it’s not ā€œWHATā€ you know…it’s ā€œWHOā€ you know and I don’t KNOW ANYONE UP HERE. Christmas is depressing to me right now and I don’t even feel like going to mass tomorrow. What is wrong with me? I’ve never felt this bad or this low before>>>

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 tomorrow:)

Sister in Prayer Diane, have you presented your situation to your local Catholic Church’es? 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 won’t be. Several groups in Each Church.
Again, Important Each of you know that Each of you is Major Inspiration to Us.
Please remember that problems can not be the Lord’s work. Evil is the result of Adam and Eve, not God.

Praying for Each of you! :console: :hug3: :gopray2: :highprayer:
 
Diane,Praying to our Heavenly Father for you,Joe and your mother.Ps.51:12-19.
 
Diane- My family will remember yours at Mass tonight. Keep your Faith, you will need it now more then ever. He is listening, and will look out for you.:signofcross:
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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

Is there any way for all 3 of you to go to Mass tommorrow? If not tommorrow, contact the Church and someone will Van all 3 of You. You and your new Church need to be Close. That is what Our Lord’s Church is all about. So many of us have been where your sweet Mom, Joe, and You, Diane, are. Anointing of the sick is a key thing only a Priest can do. :crossrc: :blessyou: :hug3: :grouphug:
We are praying. Each of you is Prescious.
 
Diane, please know that I am still, and always praying for you and Joe and your Mother. My heart hurts for all of you.

Give it all to God. I know how hard it is to not take it back. To not hurt and let it turn to bitterness. I’ve had to fight that myself being so far away from ā€˜home’, which ironically is Philly. I know hardly anyone here. But God is always with us. We are never alone.

I am off to PM to you. Know you are in my heart and prayers.
 
Prayers promised for both of you.

I just read your prayer and thank you…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 admit…I just wanted to thank you for an eye opener. Today Joe goes Chemo and I haven’t looked at my CCC in quite a while so I think I’ll take it along and read it. God Bless you my dear friend.
Diane
