Desperation

[humble_catholic]

Hey Robert, have you ever thoiught of getting into the vending business, such as having large vending snack and soda machines? If you can get good locations it can be a very good business that is pretty easy to run and you make your own hours.

I have extreme OCD and scrupulosity and it gets in the way of work so I can understand where your coming from my friend.

It seems like u have a very big cross to carry, but that makes u even more special to heaven.
Just don’t forget to look at it throigh heaven’s eyes

O glorious Saint Therese,
whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and counsel mankind,
I implore your Miraculous Intercession.

So powerful are you in obtaining every need of body and soul
our Holy Mother Church proclaims you a “Prodigy of Miracles…
the Greatest Saint of Modern Times.”

Now I fervently beseech you to answer my petition*** for ‘Robertanthony’***,
and to carry out your promises of spending Heaven doing good
upon the earth… of letting fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses.

Henceforth, dear Little Flower, I will fulfill your plea
“to be made known everywhere” and I will never cease
to lead others to Jesus through you.

Amen.

 

[Phil_Marinus]

Well you’re very good at writing.

You write so well & so many more words than some of us.

Maybe proper humility isn’t about talking yourself down,its about focussing on the other, service, to God and those in need?

Actually you right, it is very well written, so I must agree,
Just another point to my earlier post, I’m dyslexic so numbers is like a foreign language to me,just struggle with them, I became a Die man in an extrusion plant,
Everything is hot,heavy and fast, well I ended up crying like a kid in front of tough men,
Because I couldn’t remember a four number sequence, I wanted to give up,
They wrote the numbers on the oven for me, it took weeks before I could remember the numbers, and the schedule was about 10 feet from the oven, about 6 walking steps and I couldn’t remember those stupid numbers, , so for goodness sake, it’s ok to be struggling, your not alone, never give up, if I can do it, you can too,

A Prayer to St. Jude

Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of.

Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of.

Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, ***particularly for ‘Robertanthony’, ***and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever.

I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.

Amen.

 

[tbcrawford]

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

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

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

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

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

that the temporary assignment be canceled (I can’t be too speciifc)

Lord, Be with Robert Anthony. Enlighten his Guardian Angel so that he may better hear the guidance you provide.

Help him to use the sacraments, to devote himself to Eucharistic adoration, and allow the powerful tools a Catholic has at their disposal to fight against the demons of stres and the enemy’s thoughts.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

[detoutcoeur]

Praying for you, Robertanthony. Stay strong.

O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven,
who brought forth the Son of God, still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity.
O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, I humbly ask you from the depths of my heart to help in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power.
O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you.
Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands. Amen

Everyone, I’m sure by now many people here know me and some of my issues. Life is tough for me, deep down I feel that I should not have been born…

Ha I thought you were going to present us with a problem, if you have a picture of Divine Mercy then throw yourself on His Mercy, the story of the crippled man meeting PJ2 should spurn you on to not doubt Divine Mercy, in-fact distrust tears at the Heart of Jesus.

Jesus says, distrust tears at His heart, which is probably why the Image says " Jesus I trust in you "

Everyone, I’m sure by now many people here know me and some of my issues. Life is tough for me, deep down I feel that I should not have been born. It doesn’t feel right to be alive. I don’t belong here. These mortifying thoughts are almost always exacerbated (made worse) by stressful situations. There is something going on at work, i’m under a lot of stress, expected to learn lots of new stuff quickly (I’m a dimwit with ADHD to put it bluntly), my very job is at stake if I don’t live up to expectations (the details aren’t important here), if i don’t qualify. It’s a temporary assignment. I don’t really like this job, but it beats any job I’ve had in my entire adult life (translation: I can’t afford to lose it). I’m so weary of begging God when it would have been so easy to equip me for greatness or adequacy. i understand God’s decree that I was gonna have a rough life, but can’t he relent, at least temporarily? I’m starting to have pretty intense thoughts that aren’t of God, that’s for sure. So please pray that I suffer a minor heart attack, that the temporary assignment be canceled (I can’t be too speciifc), or that I find the tree on which money grows (aka financial windfall that’d make the prospect of losing this job not so threatening, terrorizing and mortifying). In the back of my anxious and worried mind, this persistent thought that I’m one or two bad knock(s) away from total ruin and suicide. I’m scared right now. Thank you all.

Lord please send aid to Robertanthony with all swiftness. Amen

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 death
Amen.

I can’t offer advice, but I understand somewhat how you feel. I have had thoughts that aren’t from God. They have been strongest when waking up and falling asleep. I have woken up with the thought, ‘I am f…ed.’ Finances and anxiety about the future, are sometimes hard to deal with. It feels like all hope is gone and failure is inevitable. The only thing I can do is force myself out of bed at a time like that and distract my mind from the thought. Not having a wife or anything at the time doesn’t help.

I will pray that you get through this. I hope others will pray for me as well.
