Hey

So, as per usual when these sorts of things happen, I am on my bed, closing myself off from the world. Praying to Our Lady for help.

In short, my family has been through a very rough patch stretching back to 2008. After so many problems, lately the situation is deteriorating. Our financial situation is not getting any better. My father was doing really well until about 8 years ago and now things are going downhill. Today I also caught my parents in a fight and it appears my father has committed adultery (not sure, I’m not accusing him, it just appears to be the case and my mom has reasonable info that would point to the fact - and let’s leave it there). Also, it appears this info was leaked to my mom via an anonymous source that obviously intends to exact some sort of revenge on my father for I know not what reason.

Please pray for me, and especially for my family as a whole. I don’t live with my parents anymore, in fact I live in another country, but I’m visiting them at the moment and this is just horrible. I don’t know what to do. I am extremely worried about what lies ahead.

I am trying to make the most of this situation by offering it up to Our Lord, but your prayers would be greatly appreaciated.

God bless you
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Blessed are you, loving Father,
Ruler of the universe:

You have given us Your Son as Your Leader,
And have made us temples of Your Holy Spirit.

Fill JRTJ’s family with Your light and peace.
Have mercy on all who suffer,
And bring us to everlasting joy with You.

Father,
We bless Your Name for ever and ever.

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.

**Holy Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful, strengthen the fearful,
give aid to all needing help or healing,
assist those who are sick, in pain or suffering,
be with those needing peace, console the lonely,
comfort the lost or hopeless, guard the unborn,
pray for those who are dying or who have died,
soften those with hardened hearts,
enlighten those who do not yet see truth,
help us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger go,
show us the way to do the right thing,
protect those who are in danger, and guide us from every evil;
may all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Amen **

I will keep you in my prayers in all that going through regarding your parents, and all the fears and emotions you are enduring, along with your parents.
My prayers for your parents that God will flood them with all the graces they need.

Our kindest hopes and prayers,

Trishie

I think you did the right thing! Prayed for your mom and dad. Asked St Joseph and Mary to pray for them.

Lord hear our prayer!
 
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

You’re all so kind. The situation is not getting any better, but I feel so much better now.

I’ve been praying a lot to Our Mother. Yesterday night I was out with some friends and I saw a picture of her at the restaurant we went to AND a graffiti of the Virgin Mary (now how often do you see that?!?!) later when we went for a walk.

These are signs that she’s at my side, I think. I’m so glad.

What do you guys think? I’m really giving up all my suffering to the Lord. It’s working wonders. I’d be feeling 100 times worse if it wasn’t for my spiritual life and your prayers. Thank you thank you thank you.
 
Gentle Jesus, with faith in Your healing powers and confidence in Your constant compassion, we ask you to heal our suffering spirits. May our souls find rest in Your comforting love and relief from sorrow and anguish. Relying on Your love, we especially ask Your help for JRTJ’s family. We place our trust in Your power to heal our spirit from feelings of hopelessness, unrest, and despair.
Amen.
