MySoph

Guest
Hi,

Would you please pray for me and my family? I’m the caregiver for my elderly father, and I have an older brother who suffers from serious and scary narcissistic tendancies who’s causing a disruption in my dad’s home. I’m relying on the mercy of God to begin with and by his grace, I found what should be a good attorney, so I have great hope. I’m praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet daily, asking for God’s mercy and reminding myself God’s mercy is there for me if I completely believe.

I just would like some prayers for God’s continued mercy on me to be able to care for my father properly and to get my brother out of my dad’s affairs. And mercy on my brother to help him in whatever way God sees fit.

Thank you!
 
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.
 
Dear Lord, I thank you for providing the father of MySoph with a child who is trying so hard to care for him. I ask you to give her strength and courage and wisdom and fortitude as she labors to do your will.
May she recognize your mercy as it appears daily in her life May the trials she endures bring her closer to you May she find others who will help her with her burdens. Dear Lord, If someone might be able to bring the Eucharist into her home for a short time-in your presence all burdens are bearable.
May her brother be blessed as well o Lord. May his restless heart find the peace that he needs in you. May he share this peace with others.
Holy Mary, you understand obedience far better than I. please intercede for this family that they may become close as they seek to understand and accept and act in accordance with the will of God our father. Amen.
 
For you and your family…

Psalm 91:

Whoever clings to me I will deliver; whoever knows my name I will set on high. All who call upon me I will answer; I will be with them in distress; I will deliver them and give them honor. With length of days I will satisfy them and show them my saving power, AMEN…

Mother Mary, please make your intentions in this matter come true. Amen.
 
Dear MySoph,
I will continue praying for you and I also wanted to suggest that sometimes you can find respite care through state agencies which might allow a person who is caring for someone with great needs to catch up on the things which are often left on the wayside: sleep, the house and yard work, getting the bills in order,…
You might want to look in to what is available in your area. Catholic community services might have some ideas, and in the area in which I live, we can call the crisis line and use it as an information clearinghouse to find help for all kinds of issues. They know the names and numbers of all the public private and non-profit agencies that support people as they try to support others.
May God bless you and your family and may the work you have done bear fruit in the hearts of many.
In Christ,
jeannetherese

Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

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

Thank you, Jeannetherese, for your suggestions, prayers, and support. I’ll keep them in mind, and I’ll look into the Catholic community services. That sounds interesting.
