Without going into too many details, there was an altercation at work.

This was someone with a short temper who does not handle being corrected well. This person threatened me, would not let go of me when I asked, but the only witness was a friend of the other person who said they were defending themselves.

I made a very strong effort not to yell, fight or even look threatening because I could not look like a bully to HR. Without giving too much biographical information away, I know how to fight but knew I could not allow anger to rule situation. I regret swearing at the end, but I was, and am still, feeling unsafe about this person.

HR is investigating so in the meantime we are both suspended. I need this job, but I’ve made it very clear I will never feel safe with this person. There is no walking back from this, we are too far gone.

I’m praying this person is fired (he’s only been working for two weeks, is still on probation) so he won’t harm himself or anyone else at work.

He is also someone who feels life has been constantly unfair to him. I’m praying he can find his vocation, a way to control his emotional and mental health, and turn to God.

Last week a priest suggested before the new year, I find one person who needs help and go out of my way to help him. I feel unsafe with this person, but have decided to offer prayers for him. I recognize this is very strange to pray for the wellbeing of someone who nearly hit me while actively praying he be fired.

I ask everyone else to pray for this person as well. Despite everything, I don’t feel any hateful feelings towards him. Fear? Yes. But for the most part, I feel pity.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst 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 death,
Amen
 
I pray the peace of Jesus be with you and that God sends angels to protect you and your coworkers from hostility and violence. I pray The Holy Spirit give us wisdom to be de-esculators. In Jesus name. Amen.

St. Thérèse of Liseux Prayer From “Story of A Soul”
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
Amen.

Lord, thank you that you are with me right now.
Your love surpasses all fear.
I give you the anxiety I feel.
I surrender all my worries to you.
Clear my mind;
Calm my heart;
Still my Spirit;
Relax my being, that, I may
always glorify you in everything
I write, speak and do.
Amen.

Jesus, Help Me
Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.
Amen.

Prayers said. All will be well. Do not fear, the Lord is protecting you.
Do not be lonely, your guardian angel is beside you.
Be comforted, Mother will watch over you, and the
Holy Spirit will guide you.

Prayer Against Depression
By St Ignatius of Loyola
O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things.
Amen.

†
Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.
Amen.

†
My Jesus,
I believe that You are
present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive
You sacramentally, come at least spiritually
into my heart. I embrace You
as if You were already there and
unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated
from You.
Amen.

†

Thank You dear Lord Jesus, always and
everywhere, for everything.
Amen.
†
Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen.

Prayer Against Bullies

Heavenly Father,

We ask for your protection over those who are being bullied.
Please rescue them from emotional and physical danger, and
from the fear associated with this trauma.

Use us as your instruments of peace to nourish the souls
of all who bully others. Bring encouragement and release
them from anxiety, insecurity, and weakness.

We trust in You to deliver us from trauma, fear, and abuse
of every kind. Through Christ Our Lord, amen.

I won’t pray that a person be fired, but I will pray for you and that you keep your job …

Divine Mercy Chaplet

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Praying for the Lord’s will to be done. Praying for reconciliation if possible.
 
It’s basically he said/she said at this point. Work doesn’t believe us so the suspension continues while they investigate. This could go on for weeks. I feel like I’m in solitary confinement. I can’t leave town for a bit, I can’t do any work, I can’t talk with any friends from work while this is going on, etc. I keep praying and praying and praying and I am about to have a complete breakdown.
 
Praying for you. Trust in the Lord. This will pass eventually. Praying that it will all work out and for you to find peace of mind and forgiveness.

Prayers. 🙏

O Blessed Archangel Gabriel,
we beseech thee,
do thou intercede for us
at the throne of divine Mercy
in our present necessities,
that as thou didst announce to Mary
the mystery of the Incarnation,
so through thy prayers
and patronage in heaven
we may obtain the benefits of the same,
and sing the praise of God
forever in the land of the living.
Amen.

Dear Jesus,

I humbly implore you to grant your special graces to our family. May our home be the shrine of peace, purity, love, labor and faith. I beg you, dear Jesus, to protect and bless all of us, absent and present, living and dead.

O Mary,

Loving Mother of Jesus, and our Mother, pray to Jesus for our family, for all the families of the world, to guard the cradle of the newborn, the schools of the young and their vocations.

Blessed Saint Joseph,

holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us by your prayers in all necessities of life. Ask of Jesus that special grace which he granted to you, to watch over our home at the pillow of the sick and the dying, so that with Mary and with you, Heaven may find our family unbroken in the sacred Heart of Jesus.

Amen.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular Brokenplates1, and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.
