I am starting RCIA in two weeks. I am an ex-Southern Baptist, living in Oklahoma, and have been eagerly awaiting this since January, when I was called to the Catholic Church. In the last two months however, I have been facing intense doubt, suffering job related stress and anxiety, and have had a strong desire to drink (I have been sober 14 months). Please pray for me, and pray that Christ grants me the strength to persevere and put my faith completely in Him so that I may complete RCIA and enter the Church.
 
Watch, O 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;
pity your afflicted ones;
shield your joyous ones;
and all for your love’s sake.

Amen
 
Fahey, God bless you for your courageous response to God’s call, even while you are battling on so many issues. I’ve been through many battles myself and know that the Lord will continue to stand with you.
I will keep you in my prayers.

Kind wishes,
Trishie
 
Praying for you with Bible verses for today:

Mid-morning reading (Terce) Jeremiah 17:7-8 ©
A blessing on the man who puts his trust in the Lord, with the Lord for his hope. He is like a tree by the waterside that thrusts its roots to the stream: when the heat comes it feels no alarm, its foliage stays green; it has no worries in a year of drought, and never ceases to bear fruit.

Noon reading (Sext) Proverbs 3:13-15 ©
Happy the man who discovers wisdom, the man who gains discernment: gaining her is more rewarding than silver, more profitable than gold. She is beyond the price of pearls, nothing you could covet is her equal.

Afternoon reading (None) Job 5:17-18 ©
Happy indeed the man whom God corrects! So do not refuse this lesson from the Omnipotent: for he who wounds is he who soothes the sore, and the hand that hurts is the hand that heals.

Praying for you I joined in April 2004 still sometimes life is difficult but keep preserve. It is so worth it. I attended two WYD and a Youth 2000. Try a retreat to help you in your faith for a weekend to a Catholic place and it will help to be with others and learn things.

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
