Mother Mary, St. Joseph, St. Dymphna, please intercede for Holly. Please ask our Lord to send angels to comfort Holly and ease the pain and physical, emotional, and spiritual problems she is dealing with at this time. Mother, she really needs some extra help today as all of these things are getting to her all at once. Please ask the Lord to give her strength and courage and fill her with his healing light and love. Amen.

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.

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.

St. Michael the archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray.
And do thou oh Prince of the heavenly host.
By the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
 
Hey everyone. I hate talking about this cause its somewhat of a personal issue but anyway the same issues I was having with that one breast have spread to the other one now. I had a couple of boils and I squeezed them to get the puss out and then I sanitized the area and put antibiotic ointment on them. Well, now the boil that was the largest has turned into an open sore and I am afraid it will start draining this disgusting fluid like what happened a couple of months ago with the other breast. I am really concerned about this. Plus the fact that my doctor was concerned about the possibility of cancer really has me concerned too.

In addition I ate some tomatos that that had green chiles in it and now my stomach is upset due to the chiles and I am starting to have diarrhea. I am probably going to take some anti-diarrhea medicine here soon.

Finally, I am having more troubles with my breathing. I still haven’t tried to quit smoking yet but I really need to quit the cigarette habit as I now that is not helping my breathing any.

But anyway, I’d really appreciate prayers for these issues, especially the one with my breasts mentioned in the first paragraph. This issue has been ongoing for a couple of months now and its really bothering me and scaring me.
 
Hey everyone. I need prayers for spiritual issues. I need an increase of faith particularly. Regrettably I have lately been entertaining some doubts. Well, that has caused my faith to decrease. I still have faith in the Catholic Church but I feel like I need a lot more. I would really appreciate prayers.

Also, I am wanting to go to Confession and Mass this morning as I did not go to vigil Mass yesterday and so I still have to meet the Sunday obligation. Something seems to be trying to keep me from going to Confession and Mass. I don’t know if its my mental illness or if its demons tempting me or what. I could use prayers for this as well.

I think I might be under Satanic or demonic attack with all of these issues going on with my faith and my willingness to keep practicing the Catholic faith.

Believe me, I really want to keep practicing the Catholic faith because I know in my heart that Catholicism is true but yet I still keep having these doubts and I am experiencing a lot of confusion.

So anyway, please pray for me. I really need some help from God and prayers to God from the saints for me.
 
Praying for your intentions.

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.

Praying for you, Holly.

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight,
and give Your Angels and Saints charge over those who sleep.
Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones.
And all for Your love’s sake. Amen.
St. Augustine
 
Hey everyone. My breathing is rather bad today. I’ve been up since yesterday evening. Real early this morning, I think around 3 AM, I had to take a breathing treatment. I’m not sure if I really needed it or not but I felt like I needed one and so on an impulse I took one. Then, this morning, I definitely did need a breathing treatment. I was really struggling to breathe. It was like an all of a sudden asthma attack. So I got the nebulizer and took another breathing treatment. I am still shaky and such from the albuterol cause I just took the treatment around 15-20 minutes ago. The shakiness should wear off soon. The breathing treatment did help and I am breathing fairly well now. I am still struggling to breathe but only slightly. Before the breathing treatment I felt like I couldn’t even fill my lungs half way. The treatment definitely helped as I feel I can fill my lungs at least 90-95% now. It was quite scary. I am still not breathing as well as I’d like but I am breathing well enough that I don’t need an asthma treatment. I would appreciate prayers that I have no further asthma attacks like this last one again today or any time in the future. Also, please pray that my breathing improves fully.

Also, the lesions on my breasts do seem to be healing up. The one which was an open sore seems to be closing now. Its still an open sore but it is visibly healing. I’d appreciate continued prayers for this too.

Finally I want to mention that I am doing much better spiritually now. I did go to Mass this morning and I went to Confession with my spiritual director, Fr. Ray, before Mass. I told him about the doubts I had been having and asked him to pray for me. I told him I was going to read apologetics articles and things to strengthen my faith. He told me that is a good idea. He also told me to stop reading the things that were causing me doubts. See, I had been reading things about other religions. He told me not to read that stuff any more since it is causing me doubts. I am definitely going to stay away from that stuff from now on because I don’t want to cause any more doubts. Also, the doubts that I did have are now almost completely gone. I am going to read some apologetics articles later to strengthen my faith some more but anyway it feels like my level of faith in the Catholic Church is much stronger than it was before I went to Confession and Mass. I would still appreciate prayers for my spiritual health though.

Thank you all for your prayers. I greatly appreciate them.

Hey everyone. Thank you for the prayers. My breathing seems to be fairly normal at this time. I’m not really having much trouble breathing now. I think your prayers have helped. If you would, please remember my breathing issues in your prayers for me.

As for that open sore, I’m not sure if its going to heal or not. I keep putting antibiotic ointment on it but its still an open sore. It actually looks a little worse now than what it did this morning. Thankfully I do have an appointment with my doctor (she’s actually a nurse practitioner) tomorrow and I am going to show it to her and see what we can do. I might need oral antibiotics in addition to the ointment. I’d appreciate more prayers for this issue.

That said, I am dealing with quite a bit of pain this evening. I’d probably rate it a 7 on the scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst. I haven’t really taken anything for it but I am going to take something for it here in a few minutes. Last night when I had pain I took both my prescription pain medicine and acetaminophen because I could tell that I needed that extra boost. My pain doctor told me to add acetaminophen when the pain is like that because it helps more with the pain when its bad like that. I think its that way again this evening so I’ll be taking both the prescription pain medicine and acetaminophen. Anyway, last night when I did that, it didn’t take the pain away well enough. I fear that will happen again with this episode of pain. Therefore I’d appreciate prayers that the medicine does its job and gets the pain down to a tolerable level.

Finally, I am quite depressed today. I would appreciate prayers for my mental health too.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. I really appreciate them.

Holly, here is a prayer for protection. Make a copy to keep in your bible and pray it out loud in your home when you feel stress or agitation. Say it as often as you feel the need.

**Prayer for Protection
Code: 
 I bring myself into the presence of Jesus Christ who is Lord, the victorious Jesus, the risen Jesus.  I cover myself with the blood of Jesus Christ.  I take up the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, the power of the name of Jesus, the power of His Cross and bind any disruptive powers, forces or spirits in the name of Jesus Christ.  I claim the blood of Jesus Christ in the air, the ground, the water, the underground, the netherworld.  In the name of Jesus Christ, I especially bind any agitation, controversy and disruptive occult power or hierarchy.
 I take authority in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and bind away all evil spirits from my spirit, psyche, emotions, bodies and relationships.  I bind away all evil spirits from the air, water, food, medicine, utilities, the buildings, machinery, the ground, the underground, the netherworld and I command all evil spirits to go directly to Jesus.
 I take authority in the name of Jesus Christ and bind all occult spirits in this area and command you not to harm us.  I pray against any evil sent our way and pray that evil return to its source.
 I pray the protection of the blood of Jesus on us, our relatives and friends, on our homes, automobiles and our possessions.
 Jesus, may your resurrection light fill us with your protecting love.  Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, crush the head of the serpent.
 May St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael and our guardian angels protect us from all evil spirits and intercede for our needs and abide with us.
 In Jesus Christ’s name we pray.
 In the name of Jesus Christ be blessed and anything that’s evil be cast out!  +  Amen.
**

God Bless you and keep you.

Here’s some extra prayers for today too:

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our safe-guard 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 evil spirits who wander through 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.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

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 do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Hey everyone. I have been having a lot of depression and frequent crying spells in the past few days. It seems like even the most simple things can get me crying. I hate being depressed like this. I would really appreciate your prayers.

Also, about the skin infections, my doctor said that I just need to keep the skin dry and use antibacterial soap when I shower and such. She told me I am probably getting the infections because of ordinary bacteria on my skin. In other words, its not something we can do much about. That said, that one open sore is healing nicely now and it is no longer open. It was the only open sore I had.

In other news, as far as my breathing goes, she told me to just try to remember take my Advair inhaler twice a day as directed and use my nebulizer as needed for asthma attacks. She told me that I can come back in if my breathing gets worse again. But basically I have a really hard time remembering to take my Advair twice a day like I am supposed to. I did set an alarm on my computer to remind me twice a day at specific times so hopefully that will help me remember to take it. Once the Advair is in my system well and everything it should help my breathing significantly. Advair is a twice daily inhaler meant to prevent asthma attacks.

So, in short, I’d still appreciate prayers and everything but I’d especially appreciate prayers for this depression and the crying spells. I am afraid I am going to end up in the mental health ward of the hospital again if my depression doesn’t improve soon. It just seems like for the past few days it keeps getting worse and worse. 😦

As for the depression, its still there but I’m not as depressed as I was this morning.
