Hi Everyone, I am still feeling stressed about my 21 year old daughter wishing to stay in the North Island of New Zealand. She is a student at a university there. All of her family lives on the South Island, and I feel concerned that soon we will be in lockdown and she simply will not be able to change her mind and come home because it will be too late. Please pray for her to get on her booked flight home this coming Wednesday!
We're at eight times our normal Traffic. With over 8.000 daily visitors. These are not normal times. I need to keep the Mother of God Forum going. If I issue an instruction to someone on the forum, please , respect my request. I don't want to seem bossy, but my aim is to keep this site going. Otherwise this may turn into a kind of mad house. Be loving and kind and forgiving. Be calm and peaceful. I stress this to all new comers. I know our older members will do this anyway. No mad nonsense... or I'll ban you off this site at once without warning or explanation right away. Behave , show respect for our Beliefs as we show respect and freedom of expression to your own. This is a Catholic spiritual forum . CATHOLIC. Catholic or not you're very, very welcome here. Respect this. We are Catholics; this is a Catholic Site. Behave or be gone.
Thank you so much, that is a great comfort to me.I was starting to feel slightly nauseous with anxiety.
I love Fr Mark like crazy But actually the number one enemy for being on your own is actually, very surprisingly?? Go ahead and guess? Well it is is anger. Anger at yourself. Why? Well because you've no one else to be angry at. If you are not on your own , you'll get angry at your spouse, angry at your children, you'll kick the cat, attack the dogs, worry your chickens. Wait and see. It there is no one else to get angry at you'll attack yourself. Be aware of this. This is one of the very first things the Desert Fathers taught and is is quite, quite true. Anger. Watch out.
Member Ed Kleese posted a very insightful message on the Message from Conchita thread. He believes what we’re experiencing now in the world is a “preparation for the illumination of Conscience “. You may want to check it out.
Oh please God may it be so!! Oh Mother Mary interceed for us in this our tine of trial!! Mother of Mercy pray for us!
[Anger at yourself. Oh my goodness, this is so true! When I am alone thinking, I am the most critical person EVER of myself! I get so upset with myself for not being more this or that. I never thought about it that way before. Thanks for that tip Padraig! I will be more mindful of that.
I love Jews. Pope Pius x11 reminds us they are our Spiritual grand parents I hate what they are doing to Palestinians
Governments are not stopping the mass. Apart from totally crazy Islamic or Communist are st pping the mass Ccomunist regimes. Who is stopping the mass? Who is locking up Catholic Churches? Catholic Bishops. Why? Health and Safety they say..for the first time in 2,000 years. Why? Pope Francis wants it. Why? Good question. Why after 2,00o years of public mass are we suddenly to no longer to have it? Because Pope Francis wants it?
Is this not exactly the same thing that the Devil himself would want? No more Mass? What is the difference between what the Devil himself would want: No more Mass. ..and what Pope Francis wants? No more Mass?
Ok the Romans came , murdered men woman and children for having mass. They went ahead and did it anyway. For centuries. Butchered. thousands of them. Never a Heath and Safety issue. In Ireland we did the same thing for centuries. Public Mass. The English murdered thousands and thousands of us. We never stopped doing it. Suddenly. Right out of the blue. For the very first time in two thousand years no more mass. Health and Safety? I ask you is this or is this not directtly from the devil? Is it or is it not?
I know. Truly I know. I pray the Rosary and pace back and forth when that comes over me. It's almost unendurable but I try to unite to Jesus in Gethsemane for my children. I've worn a path in the rug doing that over the years. Have you tried asking your Angel to work with her Angel to bring her home? Also I would shake Holy water in her direction asking your Angel to carry the blessing of the holy water to her and ask Jesus to cover her in His Precious Blood at the same time. These are some of the things I do.
Thank you for your prayers, AED. My daughter has been taking antibiotics. They prescribed a different one today, so I am hoping she improves.
