I’m really feeling at a complete loss here and I would love if I could have some prayers from fellow CAF members.

About 3 months ago my two best friends (they’re husband and wife) changed in their attitude towards me - literally overnight. We were camping with a group of people at a music festival. One night we were laughing so hard we were crying, then the next day on our way home they just became cold and distant, turning their back on me, not speaking etc. As I have barely heard from her since, even reaching out occasionally to invite them to our family Christmas dinner, but giving her space, I now approached her asking if I did anything to upset them. Her response is by attacking me in such a harsh way saying that I’m accusing her of being a bad person. All I’ve needed is reassurance that nothing happened to upset them, end of story.

We are all going through a lot right now, each of us has had some really hard personal/family/work issues, and each of us has suffered depression and anxiety, panic attacks etc… but previously we would pull one another up out of our darkness and cheer one another up. That’s what best friends are for! Now I’ve been hurt and rejected by them as they literally shut me out completely, in an instant. It perplexes me. All I have done is calmly ask her things a few times and her responses are attacking and very irrational. She is misunderstanding and I can’t get through to her no matter what I do. I just feel her depression has suddenly turned her into a monster, she is unlike her old self with her irrational thinking. She was never like this until that immediate change. She and all our mutual friends know I’m the last person on earth to ever hurt anyone… and I’m so devastated that our friendship is dissolving and I feel so sad for her to be thinking these things. We aren’t exactly helping one another with our anxiety with this runaround.

I also have a LOT of extremely sentimental lifetime belongings at their house which I also wish to get back but this is proving difficult.

May I please ask for everyone’s prayers that my friend can overcome her personal demons and understand that I’ve never wanted to hurt her and just wanted us to calmly resolve whatever issues there were. I think some extra prayers will be a huge help, thank you so much…

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy 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

Lord, stave off divisive attitudes and see that love prevail in this situation. See that all sentimental belongings go to rightful owners. See that angels help remedy any ills in this situation displeasing to the Father. Spare your divine light into the hearts of all these souls, that they always love each other as they best can, and that faith, hope, love, and joy ever prevail in their hearts as they all travel toward the eternal garden of life. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.
 
St. 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 thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen… O glorious prince St. Michael,
chief and commander of the heavenly
hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel
spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor,
you who shine with excellence
and superhuman virtue deliver us from
all evil, who turn to you with confidence
and enable us by your gracious protection
to serve God more and more faithfully
every day. Amen!!
 
Praying that the Lord may restore your friendship with your best friends. Also praying for all necessary graces for you and your friends.

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
 
Praying for you, your husband and your friends. Sounds like they are going through a difficult period of time. Right now, just let them know you are and will be there for them, if they need you or anything. Let them know that you will keep them in your prayers. And if needed, you are only a phone call away, if only to talk.
 
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.

O my God, leaning on your great power and your promises, I hope with a firm reliance obtain forgiveness of my sins, the help of Thy grace and eternal life, through the merits of Jesus Christ my Savior.
Amen

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
Amen

Thank you everyone… I am being patient and persevering…

Your prayers are appreciated! :blessyou:
 
Thank you thank you! For your prayers… and to my dear Saints (and I was also into day 3 of the Mary Undoer of knots novena), I just spoke with my best friend on the phone for about 1-2 hours (after not seeing or speaking to her for about 5 months) and things seem to be on the mend!

I am SO relieved, it’s like a massive weight off my shoulders. I should be able to sleep again, finally…
