Hi all, Haven't been around much lately, due to a cross, which came at approximately 10pm on the 21st April (yes Easter Sunday) which has devastated my life and sensibilities. Easter Sunday 2019 was so beautiful and so filled with graces and blessings that I was in heaven for the entire day, but then Hell descended at 10 pm. Out of the blue I was completely blindsided, heaven was gone and I faced hell and I still do to this day. I don't know if hell is the right word, maybe (complete and utter disorientation to truth and reason) makes better sense. I don't want to say much about this suffering, as I am paranoid that my openness on this forum and my love of God in general has possibly made me a target of an intense evil presence from somewhere. I don't know. I'm clutching at straws. I feel like I'm in depths of the dark night, for I can not see God's hand in this situation and I fear I will lose my faith if this continues. Please say a silent prayer for me and my family. Thank you
Praying like crazy and offering up masses. You have such a strong rock like Faith. I am sure you will get through this, walking with you in prayer. Praying to St Michael the Arcangel.
I will pray for you and your cross to be lifted. I am sincerely sorry to learn that you have been suffering so much. Your story about your brother touched me deeply as I had a similar sorrow with a brother. May the LORD bless you and keep you in His care.
Tonight, I will pray for you using the St. Raphael healing oil. May heaven's light shine through. May the darkness lift.
I Will pray the Divine Mercy for you Jo that you "may not despair nor become despondent but trust in Thy Grace and mercy thru Christ our Lord."
Praying! God be with you, Joe! Christ and Our Lady be with you, sustain you, grant you signal graces, and bring you all the way through this!
Will pray for you, Josephite. I have noticed your absence. May Mary be a Mother to you now, to console you and grant you graces, and carry you in her arms, safely to Jesus.
May God bless you, protect you, surround you with His angels, and keep you close to His heart, Josephite. Find a few bible verses that resound with you and repeat them throughout the day. They will be your little stones as you stand against Goliath. God loves you and will never abandon you.
Praying that the Lord gives you the grace and strength to carry this cross He has given to you, and relieves you of its suffering according to His perfect timing.
Oh Josephite, my prayers go out to you. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe. With all my Christian love! Shepard
Josephite, so sorry to read that and i don't know how I would cope if that happens to me. I have so much faith I feel it is unfair. I will pray for you, stay strong, keep close to his word. God Bless.
Oh, Josephite, my heart goes out to you. Hope and trust in God's infinite love and mercy. I will surely pray for you and your family. I'm just back from a visit to Knock shrine. Although I only saw this thread when I got back home, I did pray for the intentions of all members of the forum during my visit to the shrine so this intention was included.
Josephite I have missed your posts. I am so sorry to hear the reason. You are going through "hard testing." I will join everyone else here in praying tonight.
Praying for you Josephite, please remember God will provide you the necessary grace for this time of refining. We are all going through it in one way or another. Peace.
You poor soul. Josephite, you are a child of God. You belong to Him. Tell satan this! Tell him to get lost! Satan has no power over you, how can he when you belong to Our Lord Jesus Christ!
