too much to say, no time to tell it  :'(

[Brigid]

Okay, I'll pray general intentions for you.

[Jacki]

Of course , you are deep in my prayers that God may be with you and since he knows what the depths of your heart needs, may your prayers be answered.
God Bless you.

For your intention.  

AVE MARIA, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.    
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Thank you so much -- I have been battling depression and fear again.  It is just so difficult to be a Catholic and finding myself needing to separate from and divorce my husband of so many years, in order to protect my daughters.  Even though I 'know' it's the the only right thing to do, I feel so wrong in ending what was probably never truly a marriage, even though I know it must be done, for my children if not for me.  Money has been so tight.  His words have been so critical and hurtful.  With Christmas coming up and no money even for snow pants for my little ones or boots for Susy, I've just allowed myself to slide into depression, made worse by needing to hide all religious activities while my boys were home, so as not to get into discussions I felt too fragile to deal with.  I just need sometimes to rest in Jesus' love, and I can't seem to allow myself to trust even that when I'm so down.  I'm sorry to be such a sinner and lowlife.  I pray constantly to be given the strength to do better, to fight my sadness and secondguessing, to be a better parent, to be changed into someone who could be good for others, to maybe one day feel love and acceptance -- that, though such a sad sinner, I could have another chance and do it right.

Hello Rachel,  you are entitled to grieve.

Prayers.

Ah Rachel. No need to try and be strong. When we know how useless our own efforts are and how helpless we are to change anything, that's just when to hand it all over to Him who could transform everything with a single thought.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
(2 Cor 12: 8-10)

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

When I think of how little Joseph, Mary, and Jesus had fleeing into Egypt.. I think of your family..

God loves you.. trust in Him..! Do not fear!

Place your trust in the loving hands of Our Lady,  Rachel.   Help will come.

Praying that our Lord heals you spiritually and helps you to meet all of your spiritual and temporal needs.  May you unite your sufferings to our Lord's on the cross and offer it up for the souls of your children.  Praying that you consider praying the rosary every night with your family to give each one of you the graces and strength you need to persevere.  You'll be pleasing our Lord very much by praying the rosary as a family and will draw down many graces upon yourself and your children by doing so.  Praying for God to bless you and your family abundantly.  Amen.
