So, I have been struggling all quarter to keep up my grades and I have finals and a paper due next week. I was talking to my advisor/seminar teacher and she got very angry with me when I inadvertently said something. Well, my relationship with her is screwed now and she offered to look over rough drafts for our class if we like, but, there is no way she is going to do that for me now. And people ask me why I am always so quiet. Well, it is because whenever I do say something, I screw up big time either bad choice of words or overshare. Anyway, I am screwed and I am feeling awful because I poison everything I touch whether I like it or not. With that, I am worried that this quarter is not going to end well.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

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.

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.

Praying for you. Everyone is under a lot of stress this time of year! I am preparing for finals too, and there are more than a few people who are getting on edge!

I will pray for peace of mind, as well as a clear mind and perseverance, that you may do well and give glory to God in all things. I will pray for your advisor as well, that she may be fair and be willing to offer guidance where needed.

Hang in there, and don’t beat yourself up. The term is almost over, and then you will feel so much better!

Our Father…Hail Mary…

Amen.

May God bless you and give you inner peace…

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I lift up these I intentions to You. Take them and place them in Your Heart. When the Eternal Father looks upon them, He will see them covered in Your most Precious Blood. We pray by this Blood and in Your Name for these requests to be granted, if it is in accord with Your will. Always have mercy on us, my Lord, and remember we are but dust, though beloved dust. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! Amen.
 
My roommate just came back from her chemistry final and she said that they focused so much information on a chapter that her professor said was not going to be stressed. I cannot help but feel that all of my efforts studying will be for nothing because the test creators decide to make such a move to throw everybody off. My paper is due tomorrow and it looks awful. Pray for me.
 
Continued prayers for finals to go well. Just do the best you can and leave it in God’s hands.

Mary.

Praying for you that you keep on going and that Our Lord speaks to you through that old poem (author unknown). You are in my prayers dear heart…

Don’t You Quit

An Inspirational Poem
Code: 
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit -
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel****
St Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray
and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into Hell Satan
and all the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

The Memorare
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known,
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help
or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petition,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

Litany of Humility
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,**
Deliver me, Jesus.**
From the desire of being loved…
From the desire of being extolled …
From the desire of being honored …
From the desire of being praised …
From the desire of being preferred to others…
From the desire of being consulted …
From the desire of being approved …
From the fear of being humiliated …
From the fear of being despised…
From the fear of suffering rebukes …
From the fear of being calumniated …
From the fear of being forgotten …
From the fear of being ridiculed …
From the fear of being wronged …
From the fear of being suspected …

That others may be loved more than I,**
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.**
That others may be esteemed more than I …
That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease …
That others may be chosen and I set aside …
That others may be praised and I unnoticed …
That others may be preferred to me in everything…
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…
Amen.:signofcross:

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,

Obtains all things,

Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

**Road Ahead **

“My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road,
……though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost
……and in the shadow of death. I will not fear,
……for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me
……to face my perils alone.”

Learning Christ
Teach me, my Lord,
to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life;
in disappointments, in the thoughtlessness of others,
in the insincerity of those I trusted,
in the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied.

Let me put myself aside,
to think of the happiness of others,
to hide my little pains and heartaches, so
……that I may be the only one to suffer from them.

Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path.
Let me so use it that it may mellow me,
……not harden nor embitter me; that it may make me patient, not irritable;
……that it may make me broad in my forgiveness,
……not narrow, haughty and over-bearing.

May no one be less good for having come within my influence.
No one less pure, less kind, less noble for having been a
……fellow-traveler in our journey toward Eternal Life.

As I go my rounds from one distraction to another,
let me whisper, from time to time, a word of love to Thee.
May my life be lived in the supernatural, full of power and good,
……and strong in its purpose of sanctity.
