Thank You, St. Jude

[tenderlynew]

I have prayed to many saints, St. Raphael, St. Teresa of Avila and St. Teresa of Lisieux, St. Rita, St. Faustina, and most of all I am coming to know Mother Mary. But I want to make special mention of St. Jude, as I prayed to him not knowing even how to pray a novena but in desperation beyond desperation for myself and for my son, for my whole family situation, particularly with regard to a health issue which has been misinterpreted as mental illness throughout my adult life (3 decades.) I am finally in an area where people are generally more holy than in my situation before and where there is lovingkindness and am getting medical care, particularly, I went to see a specialist for this very personal pain issue, it was quite a trip, 10 inches of snow, I left at 6 a.m. for an 11:00 appointment and the doc got me in at 9 (as I had missed my initially scheduled appointment due to snow.) Now I am lined up with medications, physical therapy, another specialist appointment and am feeling comfortable for the first time in my life that I can remember and free of the burden of ill-founded psychiatry. One of the medications has to be specially compounded. I am in bliss. The Lord is holding me by the hand and I trust in Him. But, as I said, I wanted to make special mention of St. Jude as I sense that it is his intervention in my difficult, forgotten, and impossible cause that is making this possible. I talked with my son just now about it, I haven’t wanted to approach him, and I sense relief. It will take time. I may need some surgery, and my next appointment with the second specialist is scheduled way out into July. But apart from reeling from the blow I am experiencing well mostly just loving the Lord more than ever before, and my* trust *in Him increases with every moment. Freedom at last! Thank you, St. Jude, I will make this known.

Amen! St Jude is my favorite saint, and his intercession helped get me through the most difficult time of my life.

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 are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

My mother has stolen the claim form with receipt for the expensive medication which had to be specially compounded at a compounding pharmacy. She is elderly, ill, jealous, and disturbed. She does not wish to see her 3 decades of martyrdom overturned by the evidence that I was never the manic depressive she claimed, a diagnosis she forced on me through lying to my doctors behind my back. That in fact I had a seizure-like disorder since early childhood which she never bothered with and that’s why I ended up such a mess. I feel like I’m dying inside. The Lord has warned me that it’s not going to be so pleasant as I thought, but I didn’t know how bad. I think I need to draw closer to Jesus. For instance, I don’t truly appreciate his suffering on the cross. I think to myself, well what’s so bad about that? Lots of people got crucified in those days. Two were crucified right next to him. Life was more brutal in those days. Yes, he was abandoned, and humiliated, as well, and guiltless. He was branded a liar. He was a beautiful man, He was God. But I still don’t get what was so bad about the Passion. It had a limited duration and then it was over. Humans on earth suffer brutality and merciless treatment every day of their lives until the day they die, sometimes without the consolation of faith. I know this sounds insane. There’s something I’m not getting here. All I know is I’m roiling in my gut again and can’t sleep and it’s just the same old, old thing all over again as far as I can tell. She always gets her way. I don’t know what to do.

Apologies. I have found the claim form. This is for a very special pharmacy. It was a magical experience going there. That piece of paper was proof to me that Jesus is real, that He does save the broken, finally, in the end. I have waited all my life for this moment. Apologies. I was mistaken. My mother was hovering around the calendar where I had kept it and had threatened a/ not to pay for the medication and b/ that I should only take half the dose because it’s too expensive, so I had grounds, or fears rather, for suspicion. As faith is an issue here, she is an atheist and thinks its crazy to believe, there was a double implication to the missing paperwork. I found it inside another folder after going to bed in tears, I remembered my mother mentioning a folder (obviously she had perused my calendar) and remembered putting one away.

Lord, I believe in you. Increase my faith.
Lord, I trust in you. Strengthen my trust.
Lord, I love you, and desire nothing but to love you more and more.
Amen

Thank you St. Jude!
