The Sundays before confirmation classes start, my parish has RCIA teachers available to meet with potential converts. It’s a “getting to know you” one on one meeting and it’s required before classes start.

The problem is, today and the Sunday before that, I planned to go. Both Saturday nights my anxiety disorder peeked and old stomach and bladder issues that were resolved last year suddenly flared up. I got zero sleep, spent a great deal of the night in the bathroom sick, and ended up missing the meetings.

I have two more Sundays to meet this requirement. Please pray for me. It’s weird that both Saturday nights this has happened.
 
Lord Jesus, give health and strength to our sister Katherine that she may continue on her journey home to You. May the Holy Spirit guide her and enlighten her. May the seeds of the faith take root and grow in her heart so that she can live as a true disciple of Yours.
We ask this in Your most holy and blessed name. Amen.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O God who did instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
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.
 
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our Life, Our Sweetness, our Hope, To thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our signs, mourning and weeping in this Vale of tears. Turn then most gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of Mercy Towards us and after this our Exile show us the Blessed Fruit of They Womb Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ
 
I am familiar with how disrupting anxiety can be. I will remember you in my prayers.

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.
 
It is understandable that you would be nervous. Life changes can be unsettling in the beginning.
Please God you can find peace in facing and undertaking this new step.
Our dear Lord please hold has hand and lead her.
 
May our Lord make it possible for you to attend the Sunday meeting. May you pray the Rosary for the intention of being well enough to enter RCIA, and persevere in faith. May our Lord heal you in accordance with his holy and perfect will, and give you stength and peace. Amen.

I’m in the conversion process myself, and I will join you in prayer!!! May the Lord bless you, be with you, and strengthen you during these trying times.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee 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.
 
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.
