This is a really bad time of the year for me. My mom was home on Thanksgiving and the day after, then she had to be taken back to the hospital. She died on 12/26/08. My sister is 2500 miles away and in bad health, lymphoma. My sister is really my only link with the family. Other members don’t even know I am alive-long story. To make matters worse, my roommate will be spending Christmas with her family. I will be alone for Christmas. I was alone on Christmas for 3 years, now it will be four. Please remember me in your prayers. I will probably just cry most of Christmas, memories are tough reminders, at this time, of the fun and joys of past years.
 
I have and will keep praying for you.

O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
 
Well, if I lived closer to you
I’d come visit you for Christmas.
And I like your name … I’m part Iroquois.

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.

Do some volunteer work at Christmas, like serving meals at a soup kitchen or delivering meals on wheels there are lots of people out there who need your help, and it helps us to see that we are not alone in our problems. I will be praying for you!
 
It saddens my heart to read of your sorrow. Please know that I am praying for you, dear one.

Many churches will be preparing and sending out meals to homebound parishioners. Try calling around and helping out. Last Thanksgiving I helped my parish prepare and deliver meals to the Sandy victims on Staten Island who where living in tents and our homebound. It was the best Thanksgiving of my life. If you need spirit lifting; believe me you will be surprised.
I’m praying for you.

I’m so sorry…

Just know that you are loved.

I’m praying for you!
 
The Church has named St. Rita of Cascia as the patron saint against loneliness. (Didn’t know this until today 🙂 ) She had a pretty rough home life, losing not only her husband, but both her sons.

O Holy Patroness of those in need, St. Rita, because thy pleadings before thy Divine Lord are almost irresistible, and because thou hast been lavish in the granting of favors, thou hast been called the Advocate of the Hopeless and even of the Impossible. St. Rita, so humble, so pure, so mortified, so patient and of such compassionate love for thy Crucified Jesus, thou couldst obtain from Him whatsoever thou askest especially: the relief of lakotak’s loneliness

Because of your power, all confidently have recourse to thee, expecting, if not always relief, at least comfort. Be propitious to our petition, showing thy power with God on behalf of thy suppliant. Be lavish to us, as thou hast been in so many wonderful cases, for the greater glory of God, for the spreading of thine own devotion, and for the consolation of those who trust in thee. We promise, if our petition is granted, to glorify thee by making known thy favor, to bless and sing thy praises forever. Amen.
 
Even if there are no people with you on Christmas, you are not alone. Baby Jesus is with you. Here is a prayer for you to give you comfort. This prayer is about how Jesus too, suffered on His birthday, without anything, and how we are so sorry for that.

Inno a Gesu Bambino

Tu scendi dalle stelle, o Re del Cielo,
E vieni in una grotta al freddo, a gelo.
Lo ti vedo qui tremar: O Dio beato!
Ah quanto ti costo l’avermi amato!

A te che sei del mondo I’ll Creator
Mancanco panni e fuoco, o mio Signore:
Caro eletto-parpargoletto.
Quanto questa poveria-Piu m’amora,
Giacche ti fece amore povero ancora.

Tu lasci del tuo Padre I’ll divin seno
Per venire a penar su poco fieno,
Dove amor ti transporiio? O Gesu mio
Perche tanto patir? Per amor mio!

Ma se fu volere I’ll tuo patire
Perche vuio pianger poi, perche vagire?
Sposa mio, amata Dio,
Mio Gesu, t’intendo, si: Ah mio Signore!
Tu pianngi non per duol, ma per amore.

Tu piangi per vederdi da me ingrato,
Dopo si gande amor, si poco amato,
O diello del mio petto
Se gia un tempo fu cosi-or te sol bramo
Caro non pianger piu, ch’io t’amoiot’amo.

Tu dormi, o Gesu mio, ma intanto I’ll cuore
Non dorme, no, ma veglia a tutte l’ore:
Deh! Mio bello e puro angnello
A che pensi dimmi tu?-O amore immenso
A morir per te, risondi, io penso.

Dunque a morir per me ti pensi, O Dio;
E che altro, fuor di te, amor poss’io?
O MARIA speranza mia:
Se poc’amo il tuo GESU’-non ti sdegnare
Amao tu per me. S’io nol amare.
Amen
 
Praying that the Lord may strengthen you and lead you away from depression and loneliness.

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
 
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.

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.

👍

I will be thinking of you and praying for you. You are not alone in so many ways.This is why I wish some businesses would stay open on the holidays, but then again, it’s understandable why they don’t. I volunteered to work them so that those who had family could go to them. It was a different family I was with, but I was with family. We are all family. And they were grateful we were open.
God bless you and may He hold you especially close at this time.

:hug1:
 
Thank you for the opportunity to pray for you and support you through this tough time of year, it will be a joy for me. Please try to find some people in your community to share these days with, there are many people who are alone and would love your company.

Memorare

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 with this confidence, I fly to 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.
 
I feel for you buddy, loneliness is tough. But God is always with us, so we are never alone and the time will come when God will call us all home to be in absolute perfect joy with Him and our loved ones forever. I will pray for you and your family.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
