happy is he.” - Proverbs 16:20

Be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead - I Peter 1:6

Cast your cares upon the Lord, for he cares about you. - I Peter 5:7

Prayer to St Jude

Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of his enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless causes, of things almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly add your own request here and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
Amen.
 
My Dearest Friends,

Thank you once again for your prayers. They have truly helped me tremendously and I have found peace while walking through this trial. I have also found my joy while walking along side my trial too! Thank you. I have about 3 good days. I know that the Lord has heard your prayers. The blessed Mother has heard your prayers. Thank you. Please continue to remember my intention, but rest assure I have been blessed the last few days, with a peace beyond what anyone on earth can explain. The peace of our dear Savior.

God Bless each of you richly! Sambfive 🙂
 
Prov 3:5-8
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own
understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall
direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD
and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.
 
A PRAYER TO
SAINT ANTHONY MARY CLARET
St. Anthony Mary Claret,
during your life on earth
you often comforted the afflicted
and showed such tender love and compassion
for the sick and sinful.
Intercede for me now
that you rejoice in the reward of your virtues in heavenly glory.
Look with pity on me
(or on the person afflicted with illness or whose conversion is desired)
and grant my prayer,
if such be the will of God.
Make my troubles your own.
Speak a word for me to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
to obtain by her powerful intercession
the grace I yearn for so ardently,
and a blessing to strengthen me during life,
assist me at the hour of death,
and lead me to a happy eternity.

Amen.

PRAYER OF CONFIDENCE
TO SAINT ANTHONY
Most holy St. Anthony, Beloved Friend of Jesus,
I place myself in your heavenly care.
Be with me, especially in life’s troubles and difficulties.
Intercede before the Lord for me,
so that I may confidently know I do not face my problems alone.

I join my prayers to yours, O Great Saint,
as I ask God to give me consolation in times of sorrow,
courage when I am afraid,
and healing from all the ills that afflict me.

Obtain for me from God, Most High,
the grace to accept whatever is God’s holy will
for me and my loved ones.
Strengthen my faith so that I will never despair,
but always have hope in God’s healing presence and power in my life.

Amen.
 
I am so comforted by your prayers. Thank you they are getting me through the wait with peace. Thank you dear friends.

Hail Mary full of grace

Blessed art Thou among women,

now and at the hour of our death, 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.

Prayers for Hope and Comfort
Prayer Attributed to St. Augustine
Watch, dear Lord, with those who wake or watch or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend your sick ones, O Lord Jesus Christ, rest your weary ones, bless your dying ones, soothe your suffering ones, shield your joyous ones, and all for your love’s sake. Amen.

Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything. Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
God has no body now on earth but yours; no hands but yours; no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which the compassion of Christ must look out on the world. Yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which He is to bless His people.
Amen.
(St. Teresa of Ávila)

Prayer of St. Theresa

May there be peace within. May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God.

Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance and love. It is there for each and every one of you.
 
Prayer of Thanks for Friends
I want to thank you, Gracious Lord,
for the good friends you give me;
they are for me a priceless bounty.
Thanks to them, friendship is neither an abstraction,
nor a distant, almost impossible, dream.
I owe to your providence, Lord,
the possibiltiy of counting on
the constant help of friends.
Between me and them you have formed a solid bridge,
which can withstand all threats of destruction.
The happiness with which you have blessed us
enables us to enrich one another.
Lord, tehre was something astonishing,
almost mysterious,
in the way I met my friends;
it was always outside the expected pattern.
But you alone know the reasons
that drew us closer together.
This surprise and joy are refreshing,
and I experience them anew
at every step of my life.
Not all proved to be steadfast friends,
but I have to thank you
for the faithful ones.
I promise to do everything in my power
to deserve this precious gift
that you have reserved for me.
I ask you, Gracious Lord, to keep them safe in your hands,
for they are yours above all.
Amen.

I am so touched by all the prayers being offered up on my behalf. How beautiful life is when one has friends. How amazing of all the ways folks make friends, such as this forum. I can not put into words just how I feel when it comes to such kind friends. I just know I am very blessed. Bless each of you. And TB, how precious your friendship is to me, thank you for all your support and prayers.

I hope to see resolve soon. My hope is in Christ our Lord and I am comforted by my Savior and His beautiful Mother, that HE graciously shares with us. How blessed we truly are to have our precious Jesus. :crossrc:

Thanks to each of you. samb

Complete Trust in God
From A Catholic Prayer Book

Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life with fear. Rather, look to them with full confidence that, as they arise, God to whom you belong will in his love enable you to profit by them. He has guided you thus far in life. Do you but hold fast to His dear hand, and He will lead you safely through all trials. Whenever you cannot stand, He will carry you lovingly in his arms.

Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same Eternal Father who takes care of you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day of your life. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.

Be at peace then, and put aside all useless thoughts, all vain dreads and all anxious imaginations.

Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.

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

and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

O ever immaculate Virgin, Mother of mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comfort of the afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings; deign to cast upon me a look of mercy. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favors, and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence, to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests. I will endeavor to imitate your virtues, that I may one day share your glory, and bless you in eternity. Amen.
 
Continued prayers for you dear Samb

Prayer to St. Elizabeth Seton For Constancy And Comfort

Your life was full of immense suffering, yet you maintained your faith. Even during your deepest sorrows, you served others. You said, “Tribulation is my element,” and saw beyond your suffering and into others. I would ask you, Mother Seton, to stand with me when I hurt the most. Help me develop compassion - compassion for my suffering and through it, compassion for the wounds and sorrows that all other people hold. Show me the path through my sufferings that will lead me to know more love, and through that love know more about God. Amen
 
“Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All thing pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for. He who has God Finds he lacks nothing:God alone suffices.”
St. Teresa of Avila
Code: 
   “We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can / namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.”
St. Teresa of Avila

To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience.”
St. Teresa of Avila

“Do not dismayed daughters, at the number of things which you have to consider before setting out on this divine journey, which is the royal road to heaven. By taking this road we gain such precious treasures that it is no wonder if the cost seems to us a high one. The time will come when we shall realize that all we have paid has been nothing at all by comparison with the greatness of our prizes.”
St. Teresa of Avila

“Christ has no body now, but yours.
No hands, no feet on earth, but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which
Christ looks compassion into the world.
Yours are the feet
with which Christ walks to do good.
Yours are the hands
with which Christ blesses the world.”

Let nothing trouble you,
let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who possesses God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

“Whatever thou doest, offer it up to God and pray it may be for His honor
and glory.”
– St. Teresa of Avila.
