I’m sorry for monopolizing everyone’s time, but I feel so gutted. I feel shattered. I’m so lonely and feeling so hurt… It’s like no progress has been made. Back at square one. I feel like I’ve backtracked. Has anyone has a similar experience during the healing process? I’m going to mass straight away - I’m hoping that hearing the gospel will bring joy to my heart.
 
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;
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen

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

Dear Hurt but changing…

My wife had a secret affair with another man for nearly three years until I discovered it over this past Christmas. I was completely clueless to what was going on, and the discovery was horrific to say the least. My wife moved out less than a week later. Despite the hurt she caused, I still lover her, and I would give anything if she were to write a note similar to your first post in this thread.

I don’t have any advice to give you. All I know is that I would love for my wife to make any kind of gesture towards reconciliation. Surely, it would not be a snap to return to normalcy, but to me it would be better than being separated. I realize I am being selfish, but I’m just giving you my take on my situation.

God bless you and guide you.

I believe that I’ve hit a road block in the healing process. I realize that healing is a process that requires time, but UGH I am becoming frustrated! I’ve been going to mass every day, and praying lots. I know God answers you in his own time, but I just wish I could ‘hear’ some comforting words that will encourage me to continue on…I suppose I need to feel and experience this hurt though - it is part of the process. I just wish I knew for certain if I’m on the right path to healing.

Jesus please let Your gentle loving healing flow into her heart and her husband’s heart, that Your love embues their perception and behaviour to each other. Please let it be so dear Lord.

You assure us through Isaiah, our God,

“I have dispelled your faults like a cloud
your sins like a mist
Come back to me, for I have redeemed you.” [Isaiah 44:22]

Furthermore, You proclaim:
“Happy those whose crimes are forgiven, whose sins are blotted out; happy the man whom the Lord considers sinless.” [Psalm 31:1-2] For through Your Son, You have “cancelled every record of the debt that we had to pay; He has done away with it by nailing it to the cross.” [Colossians 2:14-15]

Therefore, our God it is not presumptuous to ask that we may be healed of our faults and freed from our sin. Indeed, You have said:

“No need to recall the past,
no need to think about what was before.
See I am doing a new deed,
even now, it comes to light; can you not see it?
Yes, I am making a road in the wilderness,
paths in the wild.” [Isaiah 43:18-19]
 
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;
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen

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

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

I don’t know what to do anymore. I still feel set back. I’ve gone to adoration, church (almost daily since initially posting), since a counselor…I am in a deep dark place and can’t seem to find my way out. It’s been over 2 months…I’ve also had very dark, very evil thoughts. Thoughts of ending my life…or at least fantasying about it. Of course I’d never do it, but the thought has entered my mind a few times.

What else can I do?

O My God, I believe in Thou;
Do Thou strengthen my faith.
All my hopes are in Thee;
Do Thou secure them.
I love Thee with my whole heart;
teach me to love Thee daily more and more.
I am sorry taht I have offended Thee,
do Thou increase my sorrow.

I adore Thee as my first beginning,
I aspire after Thee as my last end.
I give Thee thanks as my constant benefactor;
I call upon Thee as my sovereign protector.

Vouchsafe, O my God, to conduct me by Thy wisdom,
to restrain me by Thy justice,
to comfort me by Thy mercy,
to defend me by Thy power.

To Thee, I desire to consecrate all my thoughts,
words, actions and sufferings;
that henceforward I may think only of Thee,
speak of Thee,
refer all my actions to Thy greater glory,
and suffer willingly,
whatever Thou shall appoint.

Lord, I desire that in all things,
Thy will may be done,
because it is Thy will,
and the manner that Thou willest.

I beg of Thee,
to enlighten my understanding,
To inflame my heart,
to purify my body,
and to sanctify my soul.

Give me strength, O my God,
to expiate my offenses,
to overcome my temptations,
to subdue my passions,
and to acquire the virtues
proper in my state of life.

Fill my heart, with tender affection,
for Thy goodness,
hatred of my faults,
love of my neighbour,
and contempt of the world.

Let me always,
remember to be submissive to my superiors,
condescending to my inferiors,
faithful to my friends
and charitable to my enemies.

Assist me to overcome sensuality by mortification,
avarice by alms deeds,
anger by meekness,
and tepidity by devotion.

O my God, make me prudent in my undertakings,
courageous in dangers,
patient in affliction,
and humble in prosperity.

Grant that I may be ever attentive at my prayers,
temperate at my meals,
diligent at my employments,
and constant resolution.

Let my conscience be ever upright, and pure,
my exterior modest,
my conversation edifying
and my comportment regular.

Assist me,
that I may continually labour to overcome nature,
to correspond with Thy grace,
to keep Thy commandments,
and to work out my salvation.

Discover to me, O my God,
the nothingness of this world,
the greatness of heaven,
the shortness of time,
and the length of eternity.

Grant that I may prepare for death,
that I may fear Thy judgment,
escape hell
and in the end obtain Heaven,
through Jesus Christ, my Lord.

Amen.
 
I’m so frustrated. I have been praying, asking for forgiveness/guidance, and trying to keep a positive attitude - but I feel like I get no response! I am still not working (although have been working HARD to find something and had a new interviews, but nothing has materialized) , and I’m still dealing with the aftermath of my affair. What bothers me the most is that even though I have a supportive husband, I still long for ‘the other man’. As painful as it sounds, I do not know how I feel about the man I married. Truth me told, I had my reservations long before we were married (we had discussed my fears) and went through with it anyway. Now I am in a horrible mess. As much as I pray, and attempt to show self constraint I still feel so lonely, hurt, and confused. I’m trying desperately to do the right thing here, but I don’t even know what it is.

A very wise person once told me ‘when in doubt, do nothing but pray’…it’s been 3 long months though and there hasn’t been much change…

As juvenile as this may sound, I must ask how can I turn my life around? I pray every day that the Lord change my mind and heart, but for now they both remain in a state of chaos (sadness, despair).

I pray for all of those who are going through a similar situation. I also pray for all of those who are/becoming involved in an affair that they take a step back and not indulge in such evil and selfish acts.

I cannot help but wonder what is wrong with me…I guess this situation really shows how human I really am! Selfish.
 
Saint Joseph, we pray to you for those who are out of work, for those who want to earn their living or support their families.

You who are the patron of workers; grant that unemployment may vanish from our ranks; that all those who are ready to work may put their strength and abilities in serving their fellowmen and earn a just salary.

You are the patron of families; do not let those who have children to support and raise lack the necessary means. Have pity on our brothers and sisters held down in unemployment and poverty because of sickness or social disorders. Help our political leaders and captains of industry find new and just solutions. May each and every one have the joy of contributing, according to his abilities, to the common prosperity by an honorable livelihood. Grant that we may all share together in the abundant goods God has given us and that we may help underprivileged countries. Amen.
