Hi. Its been years since I have visited CAF, and am in need of prayers.

The past year has been a struggle mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I feel like I have made a lot of wrong decisions that contributed to this, and I… need help. I’ve always wanted to have a spiritual director to guide me. But there are things that are preventing me.

I can be very anxious at times, and when speaking with people, especially with those with whom I feel are with “authority” (i.e. bosses, priests, people smarter than me, people I admire, people who are very holy, etc.) I tend to become flustered and not say what I am supposed to say. Sometimes my mind even goes blank, or I find my thoughts are cut off and/or not making any sense any more. (I’m much better at writing my thoughts than saying them, especially if impromptu).

Throw in pride into the mix because of sins comitted and shame for past actions, fear of being vulnerable, and I practically run away from the direction of spiritual direction.

Right now it is clear though that I should be doing just that. Not sure if I will be having the same conviction tomorrow. Actually, it is possible I will be backing out at the thought later today.

Will be truly grateful for your prayers so I would have the will and courage to go through with it.

INVOCATION OF ST. ERASMUS

Holy martyr Erasmus,
who didst willingly
and bravely bear the trials
and sufferings of life,
and by thy charity
didst console many fellow-sufferers;
I implore thee to remember me in my needs
and to intercede for me with God.
Staunch confessor of the Faith,
victorious vanquisher of all tortures,
pray Jesus for me
and ask Him to grant me
the grace to live and die
in the Faith through which
thou didst obtain the crown of glory.

Amen.
 
Prayers for you and for your future spiritual director.

Memorare

*Remember, O 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 by this confidence,
I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother;
to thee do 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*
 
A Prayer for Peace of Mind
from Prayers-for-special-help.com

Almighty God, We bless you for our lives, we give you praise for your abundant mercy and grace we receive. We thank you for your faithfulness even though we are not that faithful to you. Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us, and especially stanzi, all around peace in our mind, body, soul and spirit. We want you to heal and remove everything that is causing stress, grief, and sorrow in our lives, especially the life of stanzi right now.

Please guide our path through life and make our enemies be at peace with us. Let your peace reign in our family, at our place of work, businesses and everything we lay our hands on.

Let your angels of peace go ahead of us when we go out and stay by our side when we return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for 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.

Thanks everyone. Knowing people are reading this and praying is really helpful.

Today I felt really depressed and anxious again. But I was able to contact a retreat house (managed by consecrated lay women) to go to, and asked myself to be checked in overnight so I wouldn’t back out. Not sure though if there would be a priest available when I go there tomorrow, they haven’t replied yet. But I was surprised and delighted to find out that one of the consecrated lay assigned there now is the one I felt comfortable talking to when I went there some years ago, so maybe I can start speaking with her (she hasn’t been there for a while because she was recuperating from sickness). It feels providential and it made me feel better. Not sure though when I’d spiral down with my thoughts again. Please continue to pray for me.

Thanks so much!
