Discouraged Today

[aimee]

You are an important part of this forum …you are needed and wanted … I thank you for being here.

dhgray said : Jen, You are never alone. Your CA family is here for you. You are in our prayers. He said it best and I agree.

I will remember you in prayer.

( I think something will happen for you when you least expect it. )

God Bless
Aimee

jrabs:

Maybe you could just change my name from Jrabs to Edwin and pray for him instead?

Thanks sooo much! You are great Annie.

I’ll put in two prayer cards…one for you and one for Edwin. Prayers are pretty powerful, so let us know when you both find the special ones.

Hi Jen…
You have helped me sooo much in my times of need… so let me give you a word of encouragement…
When under spiritual attack … you must be doing something right for the Lord.
God bless and keep you…
p.s. your advice about the Green Scapular is having a great effect on the intention we discussed.:bounce: Ooooh…just had a flash…“No good deed goes unpunished” …and this was a biggy…

…
WHo said it was easy to follow Christ!

Lord, have mercy on Us all!
Edwin

It’s easier when we let Him help us carry that cross instead of going it alone…

I could never ask for a better group of folks to struggle with…

Here’s to you all:
(and Jen, I’ll add you in my prayers at Mass…)

Lorica of Saint Patrick
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.

I arise today
Through God’s strength to pilot me;
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets, Against black laws of pagandom,Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man’s body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation

St. Patrick (ca. 377)
