I have not been on here in a long time and I feel bad to come and ask you this. This is urgent, however. My brother has had a psychotic episode and was hospitalized in a psychiatric unit. During his hospitalization, he was taken out of restraints to be given medication. He assaulted an officer when this happened and was taken out of the hospital and sent to jail. He is now being charged with a felony.

My family is falling apart. My brother is a wonderful kid - attends mass, pursuing a degree in mathematics, and has been discerning the priesthood. Sweet, kind, involved with my boys as a father figure. Somehow, he blacked out for two days at college and has been in and out of this psychotic behavior ever since. It is pulling teeth to get him any help. I don’t even know if my parents will stay together. My faith has been SEVERELY shaken. I am angrier at God that I have ever been in my life. I wasn’t angry at God when my brother died in a car accident. I wasn’t angry at God when I was abandoned by my husband. I was not angry at God through the myriad of other personal problems I have dealt with. Now, I am extremely angry at Him, almost to the point of hating Him. I just want to give up.

We want to send him to a good psychiatric hospital, but it’s not looking good because of the felony charge. Please ask God to help us. Please pray for us. I have no idea how to get through this - I am SO angry. Please pray that my brother can get the help he desperately needs and that this charge can be dropped.
 
Praying for you, your brother, your family …

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.

Don’t ever feel bad to ask for prayer…You are a child of the King and He loves you …even when you’re angry with Him and most especially…when you don’t understand Him.

It hurts so much to see those we love suffer through inexplicable trials . Hold onto the Blessed Mother who knows the pain of standing at the cross .Trust her intercession for your needs.

Pray the Rosary … and the Divine Mercy Chaplet …This is what I will pray for you, your brother and your family.

Jesus, I trust in You.

Praying for you tonight.

There is a saint who has patronage over both family unity and mental/nervous disorders: Dymphna. I strongly recommend seeking her intercession for this situation.
 
Dear God,

Thank you for prayer, thank you for CAF and thank you for Becca. Lord, you know her heart better than she does, please help her through her anger Lord. Help her to see Your Divine Providence in this difficult time. We cannot understand why things happen and why the evil one corrupts so much. But we know that you Jesus suffered for us, took humiliation and shame for us, died for us on the cross. Please Lord, calm Becca’s anger and give her hope that your resurrection gave us all. Help her trust in You, though there be much difficulty. I pray Becca’s brother finds the correct help he needs. Please heal his mind Dearest Jesus, I ask this humbly but confidently in the Power of the Holy Spirit!. Cast out the evil one that is the cause of such turmoil and sadness.
Thank you Dear God and we pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Holy Mother of God please help this family with your intercession!
St. Joseph pray for this family.

Amen.

PS – Becca, have you called a Priest for your brother? Maybe he can help.
 
I am praying for you and your whole family. And let me suggest the Memorare as a good emergency prayer; it especially helps me when I’m feeling anxious and upset.
 
Becca, my prayers for your brother and your whole family, and for you as well during this painful time.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Praying for you , your brother, and the rest of your family.:gopray2::signofcross::gopray2:

I wish I knew what to say to you to help you to feel better, but I don’t know the words.
I do know that satan will do all he can to stop men from becoming priests, tear families apart, and cause us as much misery and pain as he can.

Know that I will pray, say a Rosary, and light a candle for your family at Mass tomorrow.
Somehow I know in my heart that God is hurting with you, He is not happy that all this has happened. If He could, He would wrap your family up in His arms and dearly hold all of you to Him. You are His children, and a father loves his children, they are a part of him.

I wish I were there to hug you, and wipe away your tears.:console:
 
Petite, et dabitur vobis (“Ask and it shall be given to you”)

PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
 
Thank you so much for your prayers. Evidently, he is on suicide watch. We are terrified and have no idea how he has gotten to this state. He is not on drugs; his drug screen came back clean.

Please pray for us to have faith. We are on the verge of losing our faith and I think my mom already has.

Thank you for your prayers.

Lord, hear our prayer.

I found this one kind of late, but I am a Schizophrenic and
have done terrible things when psychotic, so this hits close
to home for me. I am going to Mass today and I will offer prayers
for your brother.**
 
St Benedict Joseph Lebre pray for this young man and let the authorities realize the problems this gentleman has and take that into consideration when judging his anger. In Jesus’ Name I pray :crossrc:

Peace & all good

Dan, thank you. We think he might have bipolar disorder and be in a severe state of mania. He never seems depressed, though. He has always been a pretty happy guy, mild-mannered. When this episode first happened, he was talking about strange things and thought people were trying to communicate with him through the television. He slowly came out of this state and then seemed fine for about a week. We thought that when he blacked out for a couple of days, he had a concussion and was back to his normal self. Then quickly, it escalated again over the course of a day. He begins by becoming very agitated, can’t sit still, winking his eye like crazy. Then other things happened and he ended up being taken to the hospital by the police.

Is there any hope? Does your medication help you? He is still in jail on suicide watch. My parents won’t see him until tomorrow.
 
Thank you again for praying for us - I haven’t done a good job praying for you, yet you still help me. I don’t know how to thank you enough.
 
Continuing to pray for your brother … and all of you.

Lord, give wisdom to the doctors…

patience, peace and confidence in your love for this young man and his family.

Oh God come to their aid…Lord make haste to help them.
