Sarah Ann is saying "The Chaplet of St. Michael "  She prays it all the time!

This prayer is a wonderful prayer to memorize.. let me tell you this is part of the secret of it..

You take it line by line.. say the first line, or the first three lines.. however much you can handle..

And say them over and over again before you go to bed, to drill them down.. make the associations.. look at the key words.. the order..

And truly pray it each time you repeat it while memorizing it.. that's the key..

Step by step.. night by night..

Until you can always be happy with the angels!

Vicky, I'm sure you've experienced the paranoia that goes with the severest depression side of Bipolar and when I was feeling really paranoid, besides saying the St. Michael Prayer all the time and going to bed with my Rosary, I had EWTN on all night, and here Mother Angelica saying the St. Michael Chaplet comes on at one of the deepest parts of the night so even in my sleep I was hearing it. It was so soothing for me and allowed me to get some sleep (I must admit, Fr. Pacwa leading the Rosary around 4:30 am didn't hurt either).

The Golden Arrow

May the most holy, most sacred,
most adorable, most mysterious
and unutterable Name of God
be always praised, blessed,
loved, adored and glorified,
in heaven, on earth and under the earth,
by all the creatures of God,
and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ
in the most holy Sacrament of the altar.

The Golden Arrow was revealed by Our Lord Jesus Christ to a Carmelite nun of Tours in 1843 as a reparation for blasphemy.

Jesus said: "This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart delightfully, and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy."

Another prayer for happiness!

Brigid,
Actually I've never been paranoid or suffered much depression at all.  I'm  your basic raving Maniac!    I think it's very sweet of you to try and share something that's been of help to you.  That's what we're all here for and I thank you very much.

Maniacally happy can be good.

Tell that to my husband, my daughter, 27 different employers!  I had a good time for a while (the first 20 yrs) but hit the wall Now my doctors medicate me until I"m only awake 11 hrs. a day.  It's my cross for Christ. He's worth any sacrefice. I sacrefice my life.   I will have a shorter life but I won't be insane.  Speaking of insane - I have a question - My parish puts out:  a cat of nine tails, 8 inch nails, a mallet,  3 ft, 4' long crown of thorns.  I think this is excessive and not good for children or me. What do I do? Go to a different Parish? But my daughter needs to be a the Sadistic one for Confirmation?  Tricky situation, totally fires up my mania, didn't even sleep last night!
And that's with the elephant tranquilizers!

Shin - please feel free to censor as necessary.  Sometimes I over shoot boundaries.

NP!

Everything in moderation!

Well.. I think you have to weigh it against the virtues of any new parish and the problems of losses from moving from one to the other. If it weighs sufficiently badly, that is that.. but I think that unlikely and you will simply have to be thought police the more!

Being our own thought and feeling police is part of becoming holier!  

For me, a parish that displays the instruments of the Passion is a good thing. There are ways to think about them properly, we have to build up the habit of proper mental and feeling associations and break the habit of improper ones.

The devils will try to make us retain the bad.. and as we grow in discernment we learn what is from us and what is from them.. and so how to cope..

If you had children, perhaps?  It is horrifying.

What do they do with it exactly, display it? Sell it?

Perhaps this is best discussed on its own thread if you wish we're diverting from the topic.
