    Now that you mention it I remember a number of years ago you were going through some heavy trials. Glad to hear you have come through it all Andy.

    You have to be like a soldier.

    I fell a million million times.

    My only saving grace is that I got up each time and tried again. Through many tears of repentance. I refused to quit. I kept getting up.

    God never speaks to us through our emotions. He speaks to us through our intellect and will and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

    I like that line of resolve:

    I refuse to quit!

    Like those great words from Churchill in the grim dark days of WWII. " Never give up. Never never never never never never never give up!"

    There is always light at the end of the tunnel - Jesus is there even in the darkness and He brings us into that glorious Light.

    This is the right post to ask for this. I’m needing all your prayers again MOG! It’s about my daughter. She needs to go to a priest and confess. I just got my son back and he’s doing great!!!! But this daughter of mine went to a psychic that has seriously confused her and has lead her into just an awful path. I need your prayers again. We are probably not going to see her this Christmas, and it breaks my heart. Please pray for her soul. Thank you all for always praying. LOVE

    Oh Byron how heartbreaking. She goes right into my Rosary intentions. Just remember a mother's prayers are EXTREMELY powerful before the mercy seat of God. I have been told this by priests and other very holy Catholics and I believe it with all my heart.

    Same problem with my son, Brian, only he has been misled by a psychologist who has turned him away from us blaming his problems on his religious upbringing. He is married with four young children and refuses to go to confession or Mass - even though his two boys are altar servers. Please pray for his conversion.

    Thank you all! Oh Lynnfiat, finding a true Christian psychologist is so difficult. I sympathize, and will definitely pray for him. The Deliverance prayers Fr Ripperger recommends is what I’m doing. May God help all our children.

    The perfect attitude. As Scripture says Peter: Greater is He that is within you, than he who is in the world!

    Thanks terry. I feel I must leave things in God's hands now because I am embarrassed that I seem to be posting about the trials l I am going through for so long.
