I am a target of bullying by a co-worker. My prayer request is for her, that she will become compassionate, caring, and kind. I have been humiliated in front of others and the bystanders do not want to defend me even though they know they should for fear they will be done the same if they speak up. So the behavior continues and I suffer. I know we need to pray for our ‘enemies.’ Once we were best friends, supporting each other through our parents illnesses and deaths, my husband and I frequently took weekend trips with she and her husband. Then once I received recognition for my work, she totally stopped speaking to me, displayed exclusionary behavior, and betrayed confidences. While I do not believe that we will ever share the same friendship, I feel the attacks and her intentions are emotionally abusive. Please pray as well that I can have peace with this. I prefer to be kind no matter what. She will not sit down and talk to me about what is bothering her. Taking pictures at work today as we always have occasionally, she told me, “We don’t need pictures.” I said"I enjoy taking pictures and I wanted to make a book for the end of the year." Last time one spoke up and said, “Take my picture.” This time everyone was silent. So I politely put my camera back in my bag. Some other situations she has screamed at me.She has seniority and I am not in a position to file a complaint. It would no doubt cause my dismissal as not being able to get along with others.Thank you for reading my post.
 
my sister just began skype so i’ll get back to you but will most certainly pray for you Anna
 
Lord Jesus You know how lonely and distressing it feels to be overlooked and badly treated.
Please compassionately improve the justice and respect and caring of others for acadiANNA in her workplace. Please assure her the friendship and advancement that she deserves. Please place repentance into the mind and heart of her abuser that she will put aside jealousy and resentment and treat her former friend with decency and justice.
Mother Mary I ask your kind maternal intercession with your Son for peace, justice and respect for acadiANNA in her workplace.
 
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.

Remember oh most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence I fly unto thee oh Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Oh Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou oh Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. 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 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.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (Maggie and her husband), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you.

Amen.

I entrust you and your co-worker to the loving care of the Blessed Virgin Mary. May she help you both.

Hail Mary…

Amen.
 
Dear acadiaANNA,

I am new here but I understand how difficult it is to deal with bullying and difficult people (which can include co-workers). I will be praying that you will have the strength to forgive her, turn the other cheek and remain spiritually and emotionally strong.

Take care,

Anne-Marie
 
In Jesus’ name we humbly pray for you and the situation you are in, Amen
 
Again I ask You Lord Jesus to please compassionately improve the justice and respect and caring of others for acadiANNA in her workplace.
Please assure her the friendship and advancement that she deserves.
Lord please inspire her colleagues with courage to support her and to stand against this unjust bullying.
Please place repentance into the mind and heart of her abuser that she will put aside jealousy and resentment and treat her former friend with decency and justice.
Mother Mary I ask your kind maternal intercession with your Son for peace, justice and respect for acadiANNA in her workplace.

UPDATING: I had a terrible week. It seems the vicious attack has stuck with me far longer than I wanted. I know it is my duty as a Catholic to accept this with dignity. I hold some of the responsibility as well. I know if I speak to her, matters would become worse. It has happened to me before and I have seen it happen to others. Perhaps I am oversensitive in how to treat others. I have lived by the Golden Rule from early childhood. My parents taught us siblings to respect each other, never hold grudges, and do our best to settle disagreements, each say sorry, no hard feelings, and totally forget it. That is what they believed. So in this, I have the greatest challenge because, in the real world, that isn’t happening. And as taught, my focus should be on doing what God asks of us. From that I cannot deter. As said recently, she has given me an opportunity to pray for her-and I shall not pass it up. God bless you all for your compassion and prayers. Thank you.
