Poor Peter and at Christmas too. More prayers today. Hoping and praying for a wonderful Christmas for you. Full of Light and Joy.
More prayers today. This reminds me of the song, 'I fall asleep counting my blessings' . A wonderful thing about being Catholic is we can see meaning in sufferings. Christmas is such a wonderful time for counting our blessings.
Wonderful. Reminds me of my childhood. We grew up watching films like this. What a lovely world it was.
How are you feeling?? I'm right there with you in your sufferings. You're not alone, I know many ppl are suffering, but for different reasons. It can be so hard to accept that our sufferings are for the conversion of sinners. The Saints asked for more sufferings? I could never lol. I can't even handle my own. Prayers that God will carry us thru it. The sufferings are sooooooo intense. It hurts a lot. Shatters the heart. We can climb into our Mother's womb & be sheltered from our sufferings, too. I do wish it would end, it will. God loves us & there's nothing He won't do for His kids. Parents always put their kids first.
This is beautiful. I like being with Jesus, but my humanity doesn't wanna suffer lol. It's so uncomfortable & my heart hurts a lot. Like many ppl's hearts are just broken in these times. May God reveal Himself more & protect us from the snares of the devil...
Thanks jmj. I'm doing ok. Trying to find meaning in the suffering and trust in God. Looking forward to medjugorje again soon next year please God.
Tuesday's reading from Zephaniah Chapter 3 tells us to trust in the Lord, to draw near to our God. "When that day comes you need feel no shame for all the misdeeds you have committed against me." And as it says in the psalm (33) for the same day, "The Lord is close to the broken-hearted; those whose spirit is crushed He will save. The Lord ransoms the souls of His servants. Those who hide in Him shall not be condemned."
Thank you Padraig and everyone else for your continued prayers and sacrifices/offerings for my Mother. She continues to eat very little, but is still strong in some ways. Your prayers are helping.
I'm so sorry about your mum. Thank God she's doing better. A lot of ppl are suffering with depression. I don't think it's always despair, but the brain always having to fight. It can be very difficult. Our poor brains do get so worn out lol. Do you have the green scapular & St Dymphna relic? I bought one for myself online, just waiting for it to arrive. I pray Mama Mary holds your mum in Her arms & showers her with Her maternal kisses & cuddles.
Awwww you poor thing. I'm so very sorry. It's not easy... I will pray. God will supernaturally carry you thru. Our tears are also prayers, so we can cry out to the Lord while He delicately wipes each tear away. Always remember how loved you are. God chose you & delights in you.
Our sufferings can go on forever it feels, but things are coming to an end. We'll get our healings in the refuges anyway, it could happen at any second so God already wants us healed.
