Praying for you…you never know what God intends. I’d like to share something that happened to me…my youngest son was born prematurely and had to be hospitalized for underdeveloped lungs. I was so scared, watching him gasp for air, unable to eat, hooked up to all sorts of machines. I prayed for his speedy recovery and was angry that he was born early when he clearly wasn’t ready. I blamed God for my baby’s distress. Finally, we got to take him home. My mother (who was suffering from breast cancer at the time) was so excited to see my baby and got to hold him and love on him like crazy! Unfortunately, she lost her battle with the cancer shortly after we came home. After my mother’s death, I realized that, had I carried my baby to term, he never would have met his grandmother. I’ll admit, when I found out I was pregnant I prayed that my mother would hang on long enough to meet my baby. I forgot about that prayer until I was watching her hold him for the first time.
The point is, I was so distraught that my baby had to suffer so long in the hospital from complications from being born too early, but if it hadn’t happened that way, my mom wouldn’t have met my baby. So you never know why things happen the way they do. Things will work out! If you have St. Therese on your side, you’re good to go! She’s my favorite and I love her so much! Hang in there. It’s the trying times we must keep the faith alive more than ever! God has a plan…
 
*“Have mercy on me, O God in Your goodness, *
*in Your great tenderness, wipe away my faults; *
wash me clean of my guilt,
purify me from my sin.

*For I am well aware of my faults, *
*I have my sin constantly in mind, *
*having sinned against none other than You, *
*having done what You regard as wrong.
  • *You are just when You pass sentence on me, *
    *blameless when You give judgement. *
    *You know I was born guilty, *
    a sinner from the moment of conception.
*Yet since You love sincerity of heart, *
*teach me the secrets of wisdom. *
*Purify me with hyssop until I am clean; *
wash me until I am whiter than snow.

*Instil some joy and gladness into me, *
*let the bones You have rushed rejoice again. *
*Hide Your face from me sins, *
wipe out all my guilt.

*Be my saviour again, renew my joy, *
*keep my spirit steady and willing; *
*and I shall teach transgressors the way to You, *
and sinners will return.

*Save me from death, God my saviour, *
*and my tongue will acclaim Your righteousness; *
*Lord, open my lips, *
and my mouth will speak out Your praise.

*Sacrifice gives You no pleasure, *
*were I to offer holocaust, You would not have it. *
*My sacrifice is this broken spirit, *
You will not scorn this crushed and broken heart.” (Psalm 51)
 
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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever, world without end.
Amen
 
It isn’t God’s fault when we fall into sin, but it does mean we need to think more about what is happening and not just blindly react to anyone’s emotions. As said in your other post on the subject today, it’s not kindness to give in to someone’s desires to sin and helping him towards spiritual ruin by indulging him to sin. It’s not love regardless of what is claimed, but selfishness that your boyfriend pressput sin on his soulure you or ignores your intention to obey God’s Commandment. It doesn’t mean God failed you, just that you need to see things for what they are and to keep trying. Selfish boyfriends who don’t consider one’s true good can make selfish husbands so I implore the Lord to bring about all things to good. St Therese is a good teacher, but she can also teach that it is step by step that we become holy, that we can only keep trying.

I know it’s heartbreaking to fail. May God give you clarity and strength, and perseverance
 
May the Lord give you the strength and peace you need to carry your cross patiently and lovingly. May you continue to trust in him and depend on him. Amen.
 
Dear Lord, please convey to Synlly, the beautiful, glimpsed vision of self, as You gloriously love her, a fallible human with entwined faults and virtues, and with her life-scars.

Does she fear that Your plan of salvation builds upon some unlikely ‘ideal self’? Does she ever fear that were others to sense the extent of her unworthiness, they may reject her—or that You may?

Jesus, please extend Your hand to her through us who see her efforts and who have faith in the secret, unique miracle of her. Let her know that You love her as she is, and that You plan her holiness around her actual self and situation.

You fulfil Your dream of her and serve others through her flawed nature with its abilities, gifts and virtues, along with its faults and scars. Assure her that her efforts to live the Gospel are more precious because of her temptations, mistakes, and flaws, so that she is encouraged to faith and self-acceptance.

Father please grant her that restoring, blossoming fruitfulness of love—which the image of her cherished and accepted as she really is—produces in the most barren and bleak heart.
