A friend told me he is planning on becoming a woman. Moreover, he has no intention of telling his wife until it’s absolutely unavoidable, and thinks he’s going to continue living in his home, being a parent to his children, as a woman. I think he’s fooling himself. I think he’s going to find a lot of fall out, and not be any happier than he is now. I’m horrified that he’s going to spring this on his wife at the last second.

Please pray for this friend, and please pray that God would give me the right words to best help him, his wife, and his children.
 
Oh,Lord, be with us in all things. May we speak only that which the Holy Spirit gives us to say. May your light and love guide us for the rest of our days.
 
What a cruel thing to plan to do to anyone who cares about him, but especially his wife. Prayers for everyone.

Memorare

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

What’s the difference here between changing gender and changing race?

Why is it that it’s acceptable to claim to be transgendered but not transracial? Or transspecies (I’m really just a puppy stuck on a man’s body…)

I’m not trying to make fun, I just don’t think “transgendered” is a logical conclusion.
 
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection 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 Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking 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.

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…

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
St. Jude, Patron of Causes despaired of, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.

The utter selfishness of the intended change is evidence of the profound disorderedness of it.

Praying for your friend & his family. Praying for you to find the right words to speak to him & his family.
 
Everybody who desires to become the other sex has a deep-rooted psychological problem and should get professional help. If the person is unwilling to do that, I suggest his wife should immediately get a legal separation, even before he starts hormone treatments; that may give him a jolt. And yes, lets pray for this unfortunate, basically very unhappy and maladjusted person.
 
Transgender people have a lot of problems and a high suicide rate. They think changing genders will help them, and of course it won’t. When he finally realizes this, it will be a little too late.

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.

Is it possible this guy is having or has had some sort of a break down? I think [and pray] that most states or doctors at least require a psychological evaluation before doing such a thing. I would be surprised if they do not require him to “live” as a woman first before they start with the other stuff.

I feel very saddened for your friend. He has to be tormented. I feel horrible for his family.

**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.
Amen :gopray: **
 
Praying that the Lord may grant guidance and wisdom to your friend.

You called? You can drop the “Saint”. It’s just Micha-EL. “Saint” and “Satan” are too similar, and on the battlefield, the last thing you want is for it to be misheard. “Prince of the Heavenly host?” We tend to be more of a meritocracy so royal titles don’t really apply. If they did it would have made it harder to demote Satan as he could have claimed a constitutional right to keep his position. “O” is reserved for the AO. “Hell” should be “hell” as “H” is reserved for Holy Will, Heaven and Hope.

Pray is too like prey. If you pray for all wicked people to be vanquished, it can be said you are preying on those individuals and trying to assert superiority. Did Hitler pr*y? “Hope” is better, and you’re likely to re-think your request as hoping for someone’s destruction doesn’t really sit right.

“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.”: Is that a question? If so, the answer is “Not at the moment”.

God rebuked Satan a long time ago. God is perfect so only needs to do things once. “Defence” is spelt with a C for Church, not S for Satan. As a rule of thumb, all “good” words tend not to contain “S”.

Otherwise, get the gist, but you’re suggesting an all-out battle based on what? Just because one person is confused about their gender? Is this person the spawn of Satan or the 666? Sure?

We have other jobs too. We can’t be on the battlefield 24/7/365/1000. And if the US launched all its missiles at Russia because its president is a tad confused, we’d be in a right pickle. Hoping for war is not really something we advocate.

Please take out the time to think through your “Hopes”. Passing off someone else’s Hope as your own doesn’t count as a real Hope. All Hopes should be unique and personal, and tailored to a situation. Hoping requires time and effort. The more you sow, the more you reap, as the saying goes. Think wheat. Think Hops.

Hoping that helps.
 
Dear Holyrood:

The Blessed Mother, the ARCHANGEL Michael, St. Peter, St. Benedict of Nursia, and I have prayed for your friend. This is a very sad situation. Pope Benedict spoke of this in Dec. of 2012. See catholicnewsagency.com/cw/post.php?id698

I also recommend the Benedictines’ website. Your friend’s problem is predominately spiritual. I would fast, pray, and do sacrifices for him. Here is the web address which explains the history of the St. Benedict medal and the translations of its Latin prayers for exorcism. See e-benedictine.com/medal

Please keep us updated on this. Thanks and God bless you.
