To welcome and better handle suffering

[Writer_for_God]

Hi,
I have been contemplating and reading about suffering lately. What I realize is that I do not handle suffering very well at all. In fact, sometimes I seem to do almost everything I can to avoid it as much as possible. I think I have a poor understanding and relationship to suffering. I would like to better welcome suffering, and handle it better. I would like to use whatever suffering God allows me to help others, bring others closer to God. Please pray for all of us to better respond to suffering, our own and others’ suffering. I hope this prayer request helps many people, those who suffer and those who are afraid of suffering especially.
God bless you all. Amen.

Prayer to the Blessed Mother

Holy Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful, strengthen the fearful,
give aid to all needing help or healing,
assist those who are sick, in pain or
suffering, be with those needing peace,
console the lonely, comfort the lost or
hopeless, guard the unborn, pray for
those who are dying or who have died,
soften those with hardened hearts,
enlighten those who do not yet see truth,
help us be brave enough to let our hurt
and anger go, show us the way to do
the right thing, protect those who are in
danger, and guide us from every evil;
may all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

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 to 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 Thy mercy hear and answer me, Amen

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You.
Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

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 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.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

I think we ALL try and avoid it! We just have to learn to handle it through our relationship with the Lord

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Fatima, AMEN!
