The refuge of the benumbed mind can be the last haven of those suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome who, ever-vigilant, refuse to surrender even to the Most High. Lord, seize the trust of Your elect from the grasp of the world, the flesh and the devil. Reign and rule, Infant King of Kings, and bring triumph in the weakness described by Saint Paul: enduring; and doing all things through You, Jesus Christ, Who strengthens us. Bring miracles of healing and liberation, keeping us all in Your hallowed hands. 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.
 
Lord Jesus,You said,
“I have come to set the captives free.”
We are captive and need Your healing touch.
Free us, Lord, from our addictions,
so that we will be:
…free from the cares and worries that stifle our happiness;
…free from sins that cling to us, and to which we cling;
…free from all compulsive behavior
that prevents us from becoming what You, Lord,
have planned for us.
Bring us, loving Savior,
to the experience of abundant life
which You promised.

Amen.
 
I pray that the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, be with you.
 
Forgive the intrusion…Does anyone in your family who has not been in a situation of PTSD also SUFFER addiction? Understand how far you have already come? Denial is the greatest hurdle. Now you know the enemy. Be patient with yourself. Find a good confessor priest. LIVE EACH DAY AS IF YOUR FUTURE PERFECTION HAS ALREADY COME. forgive yourself. do not focus only on “firm purpose of ammendment”, as necessary as it is… spend time contemplating humility (repentence). You have never been alone. Jesus is suffering with you. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the ultimate high. a legitimate addiction. joy beyond all joy…bliss beyond all bliss seeks you. seek Him Who seeks you. BE NOT AFRAID.

peace
