I’ve heard we get attacked more when our prayers are effective. So I’m trying to be happy that my prayers apparently are. 😉 In the last few days, I recommitted to more and stronger prayer, and started learning and saying the Hail Mary in Latin. And it does seem that a lot of unpleasantness was unleashed over the weekend.

The issues seem to be coming from every direction all at once–my kids, my alcoholic family; a new job; a current relationship that needs to end; and a major explosion with someone whom I was previously seeing and loved dearly, which also affects my ability to do my *other *job, which he and I did together. I’m feeling very alone, with no real circle of friends.

Between kids, ex husband, family, parents, and these two men–I’m really losing hope that I can ever escape the effects of growing up in an alcoholic, dysfunctional family, and have a healthy, mutually loving and respectful relationship, and circle of friends. I’m starting to think that by my age, I’m destined to simply walk through life alone.

People (outside my family) generally like and respect me, but I seem unable to really be close to anyone, except people who turn out to push and push and push and not listen to me, until I finally walk away.

I’m just struggling with losing hope today. Please pray for me.
 
Praying for you, holyrood.

O Raphael, lead us toward those we are waiting for, those who are waiting for us! Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings, lead us by the hand toward those we are looking for! May all our movements, all their movements, be guided by your light and transfigured by your Joy. Angel Guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at the feet of Him on whose unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze. Lonely and tired, crushed by the separations and sorrows of Earth, we feel the need of calling to you and of pleading for the protection of your wings, so that we may not be as strangers in the Province of Joy, all ignorant of the concerns of our country. Remember the weak, you who are strong–you whose home lies beyond the region of thunder, in a land that is always peaceful, always serene, and bright with the resplendent glory of God. Amen.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

As someone who grew up in an alcoholic/dysfunctional family myself I perfectly understand your anxieties and worries and fears.

Praying for you in your daily struggle and that you find your self worth and love of who you are and your uniqueness. I am 63 and still struggling. It never goes away.
 
Lord, with tender mercy, please grant holyrood answer to this petition to persevere. Instill in her life many graces for faith, hope, love, and joy. Send her battalions of holy and protecting angels to guard her from all evils that come from all directions in this fallen world. See that no sin of the tongue or otherwise ever enter her life, from within herself or from another. See that her example of divine light help embolden others to exhibit love and kindness in every gesture, in every word. Cultivate in her and these others much humility and angelic help also. Lead them in faith, hope, love, joy, courage, and wisdom ever toward the eternal garden of joy. Let not the suffocating and dark fumes of this world prevail in holyrood’s or any soul’s life. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.
 
Prayer for the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Your Nativity, O Virgin Mother of God, was the herald of joy to the whole world; since from you arose the Sun of Justice, Christ our God, who, destroying the curse, bestowed the blessing, and confounding death, rewarded us with life everlasting.

V. Let us celebrate with joy the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
R. That she may intercede for us with Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us pray:
Grant to us your servants, we beseech you, O Lord, the gift of Your heavenly grace, that as our salvation was begun in the child-bearing of the Blessed Virgin, so from this solemn festival of her Nativity may we obtain an increase of peace. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.
 
Praying that you may overcome the effects of your upbringing. Praying that there be peace in your life.:gopray2:
 
Praying for you holyrood that the Lord would fill your heart with His peace and joy and would help you to sort out your problems. With the Lord, there is always hope.
 
When the enemy comes in like the flood,
the Lord will raise up a banner for the
righteous!!

Hail holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope,
to you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve,
to you do we lift up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this Valley of Tears. Turn, then, most gracious
Advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us
and after this our exile, show to us the blessed
fruit of your womb, Jesus,
O clement, O loving, O kind Virgin Mary!
Pray for us O holy Mother of God,
that we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ.
Amen.
 
Praying for you…

*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, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us 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 thee. Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen*
