Tough day, huh? You mentioned having a home you can go to and find peace. I have that too. So, despite it all, we are blessed, because I know many who do not have even that. Thank you for your prayers. I will continue to keep you and others in mine too.
yes very tough and heavy laden in my heart. i dont even know what to say to the supervisor tomorrow, or how to act around him, the last thing i want is any scandal or attention brought to the matter, i wish i never knew really its an odd thing. hes in authority over me and im sure hes going to take advantage of that to finish me off. heaven help me as i need to work to keep my home. lord i give you my entire self please heal me and those who suffer, queen of peace please come to my aid amen.
Although a lot of this may seem random,it is not for those things that are inside bullies and guide or control them know us as we should, through prayer both see and know them
I've always been an impulsive person, and that doesn't always work out right, even when I do or say what I think is right. Recently, I think Jesus spoke directly to me about this through His words to St Faustina: No action undertaken on your own, even though you put much effort into it, pleases Me. ~ #Entry 659, St Maria Faustina Kowalska, Divine Mercy In My Soul. Honestly, that was hard for me to swallow. Now, months since the above came to me, I am slowly beginning to let Him take charge. I first pray for the Spirit to empty me. Then, I pray the hardest prayer: Lord, help me to obey You even when I don't want to. I struggle a lot to pray this way, but when I do, I can sense a softening of the edges. There is an inner gentleness, pretty much foreign to me. Sometime the hurtful situations resolve themselves, sometimes not, but on the days I pray like this, I seem to take things with a gentled soul. The inner fires don't burn as fiercely. I'm sorry for this lengthy on-and-on. I hope something here helps you, Solady.
Be strong Solady....heavens angels surround the just. Call on your angel and St. Michael when you feel oppressed. Do not focus on them...focus on God and prayer...put on the arm our of God...prayer. And feel our prayers for you...visualize all of us praying for you...we outnumber them .....and if God is for you....who can be against you. The ones who really need the prayer are the ones attacking you. They are injuring their soul and will answer to God in eternity. God help them....sincerely help them....help them see the harm they are inflicting upon you and their own immortal soul! Keep the faith Solady...you are on the side of the Angels!
thank you beth! all day today i remembered your words and they kept me safe. i did not even approach my supervisor at all for any assistance god helped me through it all plus one of my co workers was there to assist me. at work we are able to help each other out but only if the supervisor is out or busy. so i just made sure to get the help from them when i saw he was busy with another case that way it did not appear as if i were avoiding him. office gossip here is terrible. during my last break as i was returning to my unit he saw me walking in and he lightly grabbed my sleave and made a comment. i dont know what he said as i remained focused ahead making no eye contact with him and showed no interest in what he had to say. i just kept on walking. im still in disbelief of it all especially when i remember his last words to me when i confronted him about it days ago he said "oh that, that was so long ago!" and yes it was four years ago but it made me physically sick! i cant take that so lightly. my appreciation of him has vanished! i cant stand him. i dont know what will become of our rapport now at work. i want nothing to do with him or care to listen to his stories about his trips or pets or what have you. i may sound bitter but when i think how my kids did without while i was on disability for 10 months because of the bullying and how my pets throats were slashed and left to bleed to death all over my yard by the companys union thugs im left lifeless. i spoke to a dear friend on the phone last night and she reminded me about a prayer said right after the our father in our lasance roman missal page 787 if you should have access to it, its so comforting. i will post here for all to read if they wish too. P: ✝Our help is in the name of the Lord. S: Who made heaven and earth. P: I confess to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, to all the Saints, and to you, brethren, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I pray blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, all the Saints, and you, brethren, to pray for me to the Lord our God. S: May almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you your sins, and bring you to life everlasting. P: Amen.
Omg... This is crazy! This is possibly the worst abuse at work I have ever heard of. Keep on praying till something happens. Forgiveness is hard but you need to do it even if you do not like it. Pray to be able to do it even if you have to stay next to the toilet to throw up after. Keep doing it until the grace comes. The abuse you went through is why people go into the office and shoot everyone. I cannot imagine what these people's personal lives must be like, must be an absolute disaster. The prayer you posted is a good one, I like it. It reminds me of psalm 51. Btw do you fast?
yes, but i probably should fast more often and i do not eat meats on fridays year round as well other days of obligation
oh my! that tells me we that are out here in the world are really in bad shape and should not expect any better. i will read her story. i cant imagine that happening in their house. it seems it was infiltrated or something.
Some of the nuns were aristocratic snobs and being nuns in name only hated the saint for being poor and holy. One night they ganged together and beat and bullied her all night. For years they trampled on Margaret Mary We have bullying at work too and several have left or gone on long term sick, but nothing like yourselves. They even tried it with me with it ending with the chief bully running away from me crying her eyes out. But I am a hard case
oh my goodness poor margaret mary! i will be looking for her story this weekend for sure . i want to see how she handled her self. i have no one to turn in all this. and need guidance from our saints. im not wise to wordly ways but do notice things that are peculiar and do see their plots unfolding from time to time. for example last year they promoted this younger woman to supervise and then they brought her in to our floor to supervise. the problem with that was that she was someones ex-wife and the new wife was on that floor! i thought that was mean and vicious. i felt so sorry for the couple and it did not end for quite sometime. so you see the entire place is just outright evil and the managers allowing this puppetry are gonna burn. i wish i could get transferred out of there, but im afraid to let them know my plans. twice a year they give opportunity to select a few "paid days" off. i refuse to let them know what days i want because they would schedule us to work on purpose! i noticed that trend happening to others so i decided to keep it to myself. i wish i could just leave quietly. heaven help me please.
