Dealing With Being Sick

I have found out some important things about myself. I do not suffer well, and my faith can be easily shaken, yet by grace only, I was prodded to pray and understand that this will end soon. It makes me wonder how I will respond to the final mile. I suppose how I respond to life ‘now’, will have something to say about that. As I said I did not do very well.

Thank you for the above thought, Br. Mark. There is a great temptation when my spiritual disciplines are not experiencing bumps on the road, to believe that I've got my act together. It is in the midst of trials that humility and trust in God are put to the test.

I am glad to see you made in through. You are in my prayers. I think it best I go back to pray through the last week of Jesus leading up to His death. Perseverance!

Lk 9:23 And he said to all, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

Lk 14:27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

I am so sorry that you went through such an ordeal. Happy that things are changing for you. Suffering humbles us all.

Thanks Mark. Something just occurred to me that I learned recently: there can be a link between tooth trouble and heart trouble . Keep an eye out for that. https://pennstatehealthnews.org/2024/02/the-medical-minute-tooth-trouble-linked-to-heart-trouble/

I hope your recovery progresses well. Yes illness does strip away some of our self delusion. I have been unwell in recent times. It's nothing major but a virus that's staying a long time and chronic tiredness. I struggled to pray right through lent and still do. On a bad day I just kiss my DM picture and keep telling Jesus I TRUST IN Him.
I am reminded of Therese's spiritual childhood. My hands are empty I can only throw myself on God's mercy.

I didn't realize this. Prayers for you. May the Little Flower pray for you.
