PRAYER FOR THE ADDICTED
God of mercy, we bless You in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who ministered to all who come to Him. Give Your strength to N., Your servant, bound by the chains of addiction. Enfold himlher in Your love and restore himlher to the freedom of God’s children. Lord, look with compassion on all those who have lost their health and freedom. Restore to them the assurance of Your unfailing mercy, and strengthen them in the work of recovery. To those who care for them, grant patient understanding and a love that perseveres. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

PATRON SAINT AGAINST DRUG ADDICTIONS
Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe
(1894 - 1941)
Pope Benedict XVI to drug dealers:
“Human dignity cannot be trampled upon in this way.
God will call you to account for your deeds.”
Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe Patron Saint Against Drug AddictionOur Lady appeared to Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe and showed Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe two crowns; one white representing purity, and one red representing martyrdom. Our Lady asked Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe if he wanted them, and he replied, “Yes.”
At 16, Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe entered the Franciscan monastery in Lviv, which is now in the Ukraine, but was a part of Poland at that time, and he was ordained a priest at age 24. In 1939, the Nazis conquered Poland and arrested Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe and his friars releasing them on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
In 1941, Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe was again arrested by the Nazis and this time was sent to Auschwitz for three months where he was severely beaten.
A prisoner escaped from Auschwitz, and the commandant announced that ten prisioners would die as punishment for the escaped prisoner. Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe, Number 16670, was not selected to die by the commandant but stepped forward and asked to take the place of a man who had a wife and children. The commandant agreed to the exchange.
Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe and the other nine were placed on death block without clothes and in the dark, for the slow and painful death of starvation. One by one the prisoners died, but when four remained, including Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe, who had almost no flesh on his bones, the jailer appeared with a hypodermic needle filled with carbolic acid which is an alcoholic, corrosive, poison used in insecticides. For this reason, Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe is known as the Patron Saint Against Drug Addiction.
Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe was beatified in 1971 and canonized in 1982.
Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe feast day is August 14.

We lost our hearing for the second time, please pray for our House, its residents, those waiting to get a room and that our civic leaders put the needs of people before politics. We will be appealing however, as long as these trials and tribulations go on, I am not allowed to give what I have. Please pray an extra prayer for people battling drugs and alcohol, that God touches them with Graces never thought possible and that some of the politicians may have a “Road to Damascus” experience, to open their eyes those suffering, to embrace charity in action and to be leaders that allow God to work within His communities. Thank all who have prayed for a stranger needing strength and please continue to do so as God guides me and those I’ve tried to help through an open window.:grouphug:

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

Its been a very confusing week, full of twists and turns. Although the Zoning Board in Erie again turned down our request, things have taken a life of their own. I found myself on the Front Page of the Erie Times News last Friday, have had many blessings and disappointments. Please pray that I stay grounded during this whole ordeal, that God’s plan is followed and that I may stay small in all matters. Thanks again for your prayers, they are doing a lot of good.
