Today I had a really bad experience with a drunk and mentally unstable person. He followed me home and I felt obligated to welcome him into my house. If it wasn’t for my spiritual director, he would still be here. I can’t go into detail about it, but it was not a good experience.

The whole incident left me feeling angry and resentful, and now I feel like a basketcase. I can’t make any decisions, I feel like I’ve sinned against God by not getting anything accomplished today (my fault) and for continuing to nurse resentment towards this guy I tried to help. I need to just buckle down and get down what I need to get done, and I wanted to ask for your prayer, that the Lord would grant me repentance from my sins and a sound mind so I won’t waste any more time today.

Thank you all so much for your prayers.
 
:blessyou:

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 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 death.

Amen. † :signofcross:
 
I have prayed for God to guide you with wisdom in your charity.
I’ve prayed, believing that where He wishes your charity, He surely would not wish you to yourself in possible physical danger within your own home.

I’ve prayed that God will bless you with the actions and choices that will also ensure your safety. I understand that your fear and guilt may have prevented your best judgement…anxiousness clouding your mind causing a lack of wisdom or of quick-thinking under pressure . To risk your life like that does not help the man, dear one, it could land him in prison if he harmed you or returned to harass you.

To lead him to your house, instead of to a public place with lots of people, or a police-station is a cause for anxiety…may God protect you from any further harassment.
God grant that if you feel unsafe, you would call the police for help, as a drunk and unbalanced man could cause you serious harm. It isn’t uncharitable to guard your safety. A drunk and unbalanced man needs more the help of those trained to help.

I ask the Lord to ensure that this experience provides you with another springboard to growing in spiritual and human wisdom and strength, in maturity and grace.
Lord grant you peace.

And Lord, thank You that You have brought this drunk and apparently unstable man to our notice so that Bdonoho and we ourselves, can pray for him. Please guide him to the professional help he needs.

Lord bless Bdonoho in all things according to Your loving will.

You’ve had a scare. Of course it has unsettled you. Please don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s human, not sinful, that you needed time to recover, but I do ask the Lord to keep you safe from offending Him in any way, and that you find joy in living according to His will.
 
Inviting someone who is drunk and mentally unstable into your home sounds dangerous to me. I appreciate your kindness towards a fellow human being but the truth is I don’t feel it is a very good idea. Let your resentment fade and focus on praying for God to help you find a safer way to to help this person and others like them in the future. God bless you with wisdom and safety.
 
Praying for you. I would never invite a stranger like that into my house. Please be careful in the future.
 
Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom in your time of need.
 
Praying for you that you regain focus and can finish your daily tasks.

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
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen.

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.
 
I think everyone has given good advice. Keep persevering through your scruples. Praying for you to have inner peace…
 
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.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon Bdonoho in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,
saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good
come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and
I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-
comings of every kind:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

Dear Lord, during these trials,
I offer up to you my confusion
Please give me clarity
I offer up to you my despair
Please give me hope
I offer up to you my weakness
Please give me strength
I offer up to you my pettiness
Please give me generosity of spirit
I offer up to you all my negative thoughts
Please give me the strength to know your presence.
I offer up to you all my sadness
Please give me the assurance of your love.
Amen.

I just read this prayer tonight on the forum. I love it. I’m saying it for you, too, in addition to my other prayers…

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 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.
