Hello, I was wondering if you could please pray for me.

I entered the convent at the age of 18 after much prayer and discernment. It was a beautiful community of Contemplative-Actives. I spent seven wonderful years there, and was only a year and a half away from my final vows.

In 2004 I became seriously ill with major clots in my lungs. We later found out that I have a rare and sometimes debilitating autoimmune disease that attacks my platelets. The antibodies that attack them are very sticky, and it causes the platelets to stick together. It makes you feel very sick and tired, and it causes a host of other problems. After fighting with it for almost three years, I decided that I can no longer fulfill the obligations of religious life.

I was dispensed from my vows, and stayed a little while there, and then moved into my father’s house about two weeks ago. I am not adjusting very well, and I feel like I’ve left my heart with the Sisters. I can’t sleep, and I can hardly pray.

Please, please, pray for me.

I shall pray for you.
 
I am keeping you in my prayers, heartaflame for peace of mind and healing. Jesus still has plans for you, and he will show you the way. He loves you. 🙂

:blessyou:

I’m praying for you that God may give you the strength to endure.

Would you mind if I asked one question though? Does one have to leave a vocation in case of chronic/debilitating illness? I find that idea scary…

God bless you for your service for him and for all of us. I know God has more instore for you, so keep your head up, stay strong because God has something new for you to do. I will pray for you to find joy in what ever that may be.
 
my heart surely feels your pain as I too was in the convent…and had to leave. The pain of seperation is truly crucifying when it is soemthing out of your control. God will give you the grace to whatever He wants of you…in the meantime, I hope that our prayers console you. I beg St Faustina and the Servant of God Catherine Doherty to bless you and protect you. May our Lady be with you embracing you during this very difficult time. May her mantle grant you sleep and rest.

And please offer your pain up for those souls in need of your graces…

God bless you…❤️
 
Praying for you earnestly! You are where God needs and wants you to be, and your relationship with Him will no doubt deepen as you look to Him to help you understand His will for you now.

count on it!! :gopray2: :console: I will remember you daily, esp during my hours of adoration. Invoke Padre Pio for this - I will also. He had much the same issues… God keep you and show you where to walk. 🙂
