Sanctus. I will pray for you and ask you pray for me and my family too. I think you are a great witness… maybe you can’t see it- which goes to your humility and humbleness- but remember the words of St Paul… it is when we are weak that we are the strongest. why? Because we know we rely completely on Christ who left the 99 fir the 1 lost and weak sheep. Your bravery in sharing your struggle here is a beautiful sign to us…. We are holding you up in prayer and sending the love and peace of Jesus Christ to you. Christ is risen..He is truly Risen!
From Ellen’s post, I hope you remember this portion from Faustina, “Although you will not feel my presence on some occasions, I will always be with you. Do not fear; my grace will be with you.” we will be praying for you Sanctus.
yes miker…”when we are weak that we are the strongest.”….God allows this I believe to show us how dependent we are on Him. In the long run, it’s actually a grace...painful thou it may be.
Today’s first reading from Mass. So full of hope. The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, To announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God, to comfort all who mourn; To place on those who mourn in Zion a diadem instead of ashes, To give them oil of gladness in place of mourning, a glorious mantle instead of a listless spirit.
You will be in my prayers at Adoration tomorrow am. Please don’t worry about confessed sin- they are forgiven.
The accuser is the evil one, the one who accuses the saints. Tell him to get behind you. Trust in Our Good Lord and Mother Mary, I hope you found some peace and joy in the religious community you stayed with. Why not come back, perhaps for Novitiate? Although I am a family man, I think the religious life is a great way to love and help people. I considered it myself.
Always in the background, bfocatholic, but that's the kind of background noise we all appreciate! Thank you!
Got confession today. Felt a weight lifted off me and new hope with God going ahead. Thanks be to God. It is true when they say that confession is more powerful than an exorcism.
So beautiful. God loves you and all of us so much. Confession is evidence of that love in action. Alleluia.
