Please pray that I may persevere

[Ben087]

Today, at this point I have completed 4 years of undergraduate education, and 2 years of medical school education. After some challenges, I’m transferring schools to one in the caribbean. Complicating things, I am the only serious Catholic in my family, and when I mess up, everyone else takes pleasure in my failures. One of my favorite bible verses (1Cor 13), says Love perseveres, is patient and kind. Just need prayers for perseverance and patience in bearing fruit in my family, especially my mom. I want to run away and find a decent job for a few years, and eventually become a priest. May I have the heart that of St. Monica, that will never give up, will endure and trusting that God will grant me peace, and that God may bless me for my troubles I’ve been through.

A Prayer for Perseverance

Lord Jesus Christ, I believe in You as my God and my Savior. Make me more faithful to Your Gospel and commandments. By sharing in the Eucharist, may I come to live more fully in the life You have given me. Keep Your Love alive within my heart and soul so that I may become worthy of You. Teach me to value and be thankful for all of Your Gifts. Help us to strive for eternal life.

Prayer for Patience

O God, who didst crush the pride of the enemy by the long-suffering of Thine Only-begotten Son: grant, we beseech Thee, that we may worthily recall those things which in His tender love He bore for us; and thus following His example may patiently endure all our adversities.

I’m so sorry that when you have turned to your family for love, support, and understanding, you have had had some gloating at your mistakes, instead! Your mother, too? That must be unbelievably frustrating and painful. Too bad they couldn’t realize how neat it is to have a doctor in the family.

My brother is a doctor, and I recall there was one point where he was ready to “throw in the towel”…I think his was over Organic Chemistry. He persisted and seems to love being a doctor. Although, he had at least our moral support during that time, something you don’t seem to have. We were supportive of whatever he decided.

Also, I have a friend who didn’t pass his…boards, had to retake them. Last time I checked, he passed them the second time and was working on also getting a business major. He said he wanted to run his own hospital, I think in Latin America!

So, with Medicine, it seems that a lot of doctors seem to go through a kind of major crisis often times that they need to work through to get through. You have made it this far which is, to me, in your favor.

I realize I don’t even know you, but I am rooting for you! Good luck!

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being loved…
From the desire of being extolled …
From the desire of being honored …
From the desire of being praised …
From the desire of being preferred to others…
From the desire of being consulted …
From the desire of being approved …
From the fear of being humiliated …
From the fear of being despised…
From the fear of suffering rebukes …
From the fear of being calumniated …
From the fear of being forgotten …
From the fear of being ridiculed …
From the fear of being wronged …
From the fear of being suspected …

That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be esteemed more than I …
That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease …
That others may be chosen and I set aside …
That others may be praised and I unnoticed …
That others may be preferred to me in everything…
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…

Praying that the Lord may strengthen you and grant you perseverance. Also praying for your family.

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
