Byron has just posted on the antichrist thread a request for prayer. I'm taking the liberty of repeating his request here where more people will see it. His son has OD'd on illicit drugs and is in hospital. Byron asks for our urgent prayers.
Thanks clare I have created a thread for Byron's son.. http://motheofgod.com/threads/urgent-prayers-for-byrons-son.10195/#post-162584
Hi Everyone, thank you for your prayers up until now. I still seem to experience terrible spiritual dryness and pain at times. It is like what St. John of the Cross called the "dark night of the senses" or the "dark night of the soul" or something to that effect. I heard that suffering is a gift and I'm trying as best as possible to see it that way. Thanks again for your prayers.
Jesus please help Sanctus get through this. Give him some consolation. If you could pray for me for a special ongoing intention. A particular cross happens to flair up whenever I try to make progress on an important project. I guess that means God wants me to finish the project but the difficult distraction is there always at just the right time.
The trials still seem to be heavy, but there seems to be healing going on also, thank God! I have been in contact with a person who has the gift of healing and he is helping me with wounds from early in life which seem to be bringing up a lot of pain, but there is much healing happening which is good. I trust God will help me through all of this and bring his healing power into my life. I feel I am especially experiencing healing of memories. Thanks again everyone for your past prayers!
I feel myself in the most curious situation the last few days. Pretty well buried in graces. I have done nothing at all to deserve this. God appears often random in His Actions, but in all things has His reasons. Sometimes it is as hard ot remeber this when He buries us with favours as when He seems to be kicking us in the chops. But He always has His reasons. He doesn't have to explain them, but they are always there..
