How to gain from your suffering

[Karenanna]

Dear Friends,
The following information is home-grown. I would like to share it with you.

Something that I highly recommend to you
When you are suffering (a little or a lot), say like when you have a thumping headache, or have received a setback, or a disappointment, making the following offering will be very useful. It will increase your merit, decrease your Purgatory. God will use it to convert sinners, get souls of Purgatory etc. God might even lessen your own suffering and send you some help.

Eternal Father,
I offer you all my sufferings, my merits, prayers and anything of value in my life in union with the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for the relief of The Holy Souls in Purgatory, (especially those dearest to me), for the conversion of sinners, for the perseverance of the just, for the strengthening of the dying in their final conflict, for an end to the culture of death*, for an end to pornography, for all the intentions that I have prayed for, in anyway for so far, including all the intentions that I have promised people that I would pray for, all the intentions that people have asked me to pray for and for all the intentions that I have asked people to pray for, for me, for an increase in good vocations to the priesthood and to the religious life, to obtain for the drought stricken areas of the world all the rain that is needed to fill up dams and reservoirs to their fullest capacity, to obtain great graces and blessings and helps and healing of every kind upon every person in the world, especially my enemies and those who have done wrong to me, myself, my husband, my children, my friends, relatives and benefactors, priests, brothers, nuns and religious, bishops, cardinals and the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI.

Greetings and prayers for all your intentions,
Mary Ann

Something I have found helpful when suffering or facing/dealing with a crises or disappointment is to say a simple prayer of thanks. Thank you God for sending me this if it is necessary for my salvation or someone else’s salvation.

A priest once told me that we tend to think of our troubles as being about us, when in actuality God has burdened us with them for someone else, perhaps as a positive example.

thats true…you can either accept them and be happy or struggle and be unhappy but the end result is you will still have the sufferings…and rather than resent the sufferings we should make use of them by offering them up…we could help so many by doing this!!!
