Hello All,

Please pray for me, I am having my first bout with depression and it is very difficult. My father, who was my best friend, business partner, and the best father ever passed away about 5 months ago after a very difficult last few months with pancreatic cancer. My father and I had worked together for 10 years; and I have now taken over as president of the company, and have the full brunt of 130 employees and 4 different locations to deal with, in addition to the crushing loss I feel at losing him. My wife and I also had a miscarriage recently; which was deeply painful as we have not been able to conceive since the birth of our daughter 8 years ago.

I feel constant stress about work, and constant sadness about missing my father and not being able to rely on his guidance in both personal and religious spheres.

I feel completely lost and like every day is somehow both a new struggle and yet the exact same as the day before. I am going through the motions in my faith life, I have stopped saying a daily rosary and my attendance at Mass is just that, attendance. Me fulfilling my Sunday obligation by sitting in a pew for an hour.

This situation has really thrown me for a loop as I always considered myself a very strong person; crumbling at the first sign of adversity has made me realize that I wasn’t strong, and had just lived a charmed life. It’s easy to be strong when you’re born into a wealthy family with two loving and dedicated parents.

Please pray for peace for me, and for my family. My whole life I have always wanted material success; and now all I want is to be happy again and have joy in my life.

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

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 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.

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. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
Prayer of St. Dymphna

Lord, our God, You graciously chose St. Dymphna as
patroness of those afflicted with mental, emotional, and
nervous disorders. She is thus an inspiration and a symbol
of charity to the thousands who ask her intercession.

Please grant, Lord, through the prayers of this pure,
youthful martyr, relief, and consolation to all suffering
such trials – especially @Flambeau, for whom we pray.

We beg You, Lord, to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna
on our behalf. Grant all those for whom we pray patience
in their sufferings and resignation to Your divine will.
Please fill them with hope, and grant them the relief and
cure they so desire. We ask this through Christ our Lord,
who suffered agony in the garden. Amen.
 
I pray that our Heavenly Father strengthens you, guides you, and shows you many signs that He is helping to sustain you and your family…
 
for peace for you and your family

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 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. (x10)

GLORY BE to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the
beginning is now, 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
Thy mercy. Amen.

Will keep you and your family in prayer. @flambeau From pass experience the last thing you want to give up is praying the rosary. Praying this for you:
O Mother, who stood at the foot of the cross and watched the Son of God, the love of your life, suffer unimaginable cruelty by those Christ came to save. Be my refugee during this time of great grief and suffering. Give me courage not to run from this cross and mystery of suffering, but to find a place of solitude where I can pour out my heart to my heavenly Father as Jesus did in his crucifixion," My God, my God why have you abandoned me?". Mother of sorrow and of hope of consolation, in this time of silence, may I listen to the answer of my prayer and not close my heart to the mystery of suffering . Protect me from all evil, as I trust that our Father in heaven will embrace me and give me all the graces I need in this hour of pain. O Mother of mercy be my refugee and consolation. Amen (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

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.

Santa Teresa de Jesús

(Santa Teresa de Ávila)
 
God Bless you all, your prayers are working. I said my rosary yesterday and am doing the same today; I feel much more at peace. Thank you all so much, please do keep myself and my family in your prayers and I will do the same for you.
