For those who suffered or are suffering because of
the Castro brothers
the Che
Camilo . . .
Batista,
and each of the other dictators, tyrants of the world.
May each who was or is harmed be healed from the actual pain or the pain of those who love the pained person (it can be difficulty seeing a loved one’s pain).
May the ability to forgive bring each healing, peace and true liberation.
Also praying for those who would help – like the MD interviewed on the radio whose patient had gone through 18 abortions! Lord help this patient! Eighteen abortions. Lord have mercy on her and her 18 babies.
The prayer of thanksgiving because through the Castro brothers and the other tyrants some of the victims became stronger in their persecuted Faith (by any name, their Faith), martyrs, heroes and others became heroes helping the afflicted.
When forgiveness is difficult

In Jesus’ Name, Father,
help me to recover where injury goes beyond ordinary forgiveness and my heart is in some way crushed, and my life changed and devalued.
Help me to find a way to forgive when I cannot smile or encounter or remember the offending person with warmth because they have destroyed something in me.
Father please help me to forgive when I cannot forgive…and I cannot forgive because they do not understand how badly they have hurt me, and do not seek in any real way to acknowledge or try to heal the hurt they imposed on me. And even if I try to tell them from the bottom of my heart but they will not listen, please help me to forgive.
Father help me to forgive when those who hurt my whole life do not even remember how badly they have wounded me, and continue their lives without concern, while I remain still trapped in some kind of time capsule with the consequences of their unfeeling and uncaring and attack.
Father, help me to forgive when those who wounded me by ignoring my needs and requests, yet who desire me to ignore their offense, and expect me to respond to their hints or manipulations while they make no concessions or apologies.
Help me to forgive those who impose their own conditions and rules upon me when I am unable to defend or protect myself, without respecting that my hurt is real and radical, while they make me feel that they only desire my capitulation without justice, apology, or generosity from them.
Help me to forgive where, in my life, I have humbly given apology for my own offense and the response is silence and rejection.
Help me to forgive and heal when I am obsessed and oppressed by my resentment and hurt.
Father please free us, free me, in forgiveness and healing that comes from Your Son, innocent, and murdered, but forgiving.

**Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.
