Praying for your needs!

Mansfield is closer to the Cathedrals in both the Diocese of Cleveland or the Diocese of Columbus, but we are actually in the southeastern most section of the Diocese of Toledo. When I reported the heterodoxy during my roommate’s RCIA class in 1997/1998 (he entered the Church from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, at the Easter Vigil in 1998)…I wrote a detailed letter to the Bishop of Toledo directly at that time…he forwarded the letter to our pastor directly without taking any action…both my roommate and I were called into the pastor’s office and “chewed out” for daring to write the Bishop, and our then pastor, Fr. Herb Weber was holding the letter I wrote to the Bishop in his hands as he “chewed us out”. So even reaching out to our Bishop at that time did not help.

When I wrote to report the sexual abuse I endured in 1978/1979 in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange County, California…the then Bishop forwarded it to the Brea Police Department that then covered the City of Yorba Linda. The officer I talked to wanted to hook me up to a “three-way call” and have my abuser “confess” while she recorded the conversation. I just felt it would open my PTSD wounds, and it would be a “he said/he said” conversation. No form of counceling or advise was offered from the diocese. If I was back in Orange County, now that Bishop Tod Brown is no longer the Bishop, they offer counseling and other services to those who were abused, but I would have to be there since they are things such as “in person group therapy”. So today, nearly 37 years later, I take Cymbalta and Klonopin for the symptoms and have no spiritual or psychological counseling (not much is covered by Medicare).

So the two times I reached out to a Bishop, they were both “passed on” and I never heard from either Bishop’s office.

Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen

Thank you, I appreciate it with all my heart.

Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their assistance.

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.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
