Trishie, it was your first post here that gave me light on where to start to look for the reasons for my problems. Meditating on my actions and motives for those actions for the past few weeks, I realized that I was getting too self centered, and not enough loving of others. And even when I do things for others, it was always with a note of irritation, and/or with a feeling of pride (“They need help because they need me…Gee, I’m so smart/strong/whatever”).
Thank you Trishie for being sensitive enough for the Holy Spirit to tell me through you where to start looking for answers
However, even when I knew where to look for answers, I still needed (and I still need now) the grace to overcome my weaknesses, and for the past couple of days I felt and used that strength I needed, and I am fully convinced it was because of everyone’s prayers here.
Thank you all for your prayers, and please keep them coming. I am praying for you all in gratitude.
- Great news, praying that this strength & grace will steadily increase…
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it 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. Lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil.
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 now, and
at the hour of our death.
Amen
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, as is and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell,
lead all souls to heaven, especially, those in most need of Your Mercy.
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 kneel, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in Thy clemency, hear and answer me.
Amen.
Adding prayers for the intercession of St Lydwine of Schiedham, and Servant of God Fr Nelson Baker for your needs/intentions… *
