Brother Jay, thank you so much for letting us know how you are doing. And that you are still with us. 🙂

I will keep your suffering spiritual son in my prayers too. He is fortunate to have you to guide him through the turbulence, and I will ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you in order to help him.

**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.
 
Thank you for the update. You and your community and the people you serve are in my prayers.
 
Quoted from Br. JR on another thread:

**B]I have neither the time nor the health to argue. My apostolate here is to clarify when something is unclear. I’ve done that part. Please do not try to engage me in a debate. I can no longer do that. I used to and I had a lot of fun with them. But my health no longer allows it. Debates are draining for me. I have so many other demands on my time and energy right now and I don’t know how and I don’t know when I’ll see a respite.
Fraternally,
**
Br. JR, FFV

**Holy Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful, strengthen the fearful,
give aid to all needing help or healing,
assist those who are sick, in pain or suffering,
be with those needing peace, console the lonely,
comfort the lost or hopeless, guard the unborn,
pray for those who are dying or who have died,
soften those with hardened hearts,
enlighten those who do not yet see truth,
help us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger go,
show us the way to do the right thing,
protect those who are in danger, and guide us from every evil;
may all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Amen **
 
Praying for you brother. May God grant you strength, peace, and wisdom.

Yes, I will pray. Moving from an active life to a more contemplative one can be difficult. St. Therese of the Child Jesus, pray for us.

Mother of God,
Light in All Darkness,
shelter Him
our flame of hope
with your
tender hands.

And in our times
of dread and nightmares,
let Him be our
dream of comfort.

And in our times
of physical pain
and suffering,
let Him be
our healer.

And in our times
of separation
from God and one another,
let Him be
our communion.
Amen.

I kindly ask for your prayers. I’m not moving as I was before. It has been more and more difficult since last Easter. My outside activities are very few these days, only a few hours per week. I was on the go for up to 16 hours a day. I can no longer do that. My health is not good and I’m old. It’s not easy to let go. One feels that he is not doing enough for God and men.

I ask that you pray that God will give me the grace to give what he takes and accept what he gives. I need to grace to surrender to the will of God.

I posted this request in prayer intentions, but most of my friends hang out here. :yup:

Thank You

I don’t have many words of wisdom…but I will just repeat what my parish priest says. He says it’s times when we are sick and feel like we are not doing enough for God, that we may be doing our best work…because we are Christ to all those who visit us.

I will pray for you Br. JR.
