Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
She’s been in rehab for a week, 3 of those were de-tox. I went to see her this weekend with my family.

My wife has a lot of pain and resentment towards my sister…because of everything that she has done.

Insurance may only pay for another 10 days…which isn’t enough, she needs 30-60 days minimum to learn how to live her life without drugs.

She still needs a lot of prayer to have any chance at success, because without the grace of God, she can’t do it on her own.

Thank you all for your prayers

I’ve been praying and will continue to pray for your sister. There is also the option of N.A. It doesn’t cost anything and they do advise to get to 90 meetings in 90 days. I attend A.A. and there is lots of support there. I didn’t do 90x90 because here where I live, we have options of not only A.A.,NA, but SMARTRECOVERY and ADDACTION’s relapse prevention groups. All are free. I’ve been sober 6months now 🙂 Good luck 👍
 
Soul of Christ, sanctify me;
Body of Christ, save me;
Blood of Christ, inebriate me;
Water from the side of Christ, wash me;
Passion of Christ, strengthen me;
O good Jesus hear me;
Within Your wounds hide me;
Never permit me to be separated from You;
From the evil one protect me,
At the hour of my death call me,
And bid me come to You
That with Your saints
I may praise You forever.
Amen.

Praying for your family…

Lord Jesus Christ, You have willed that St. Dymphna should be invoked by thousands of clients as the patroness of nervous and mental disease and have brought it about that her interest in these patients should be an inspiration to and an ideal of charity throughout the world. Grant that, through the prayers of this youthful martyr of purity, those who suffer from nervous and mental illness everywhere on earth may be helped and consoled. I recommend to You in particular those for whom we now pray: jschutzm’s sister and all those addicted to drugs and alcohol

Be pleased to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna and of Your Blessed Mother. Give those whom I recommend the patience to bear with their affliction and resignation to do Your divine will. Give them the consolation they need and especially the cure they so much desire, if it be Your will. Through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.
 
God Bless you all for your prayers.

My sister came out of a resident program after only 20 short days and is already abusing alcohol and who knows what else.

Her next door neighbors found her passed out in the kitchen with the oven on.
She has driven her car and gotten pulled over by the police with an expired license. For some reason they did not arrest her, and let her go.

My parents called the County for a “mental health check up” on her… and she is on a 24-hour Psychiatric hold at the Hospital.

I believe this is actually the work of God, as she needs to see the consequences of her attempts to ‘do things her own way’ and to hit rock bottom.

Please keep praying that she will see the error of her ways and reach out to God, as I believe the disease has progressed too far for mere AA and Sober living. She needs to reach for God and embrace his mercy and grace.
