Prayers Kindly Requested

    • Undoubtedly due to the sins which stain my soul, God has given me a portion of the recompense which I deserve.

    Yet, even this wretched and miserable sinner kindly requests the mercy of His Lord & Father the same way that a child begs for forgiveness from his parents. May God have compassion and mercy upon this most unworthy son.

    Starting last year, I developed dysautonomia. I constantly have extreme fatigue, pain, heart palpitations, marked blood pressure fluctuations, syncope, cognitive issues, anxiety, and general autonomic abnormalities.

    It has become very difficult over the past few months especially. It has gotten to the point that I am afraid to go to Mass & Confession because I am afraid that I may faint. I am the only Catholic in my family and I have no friends I can rely on to help me. My wife and I separated due to my conversion so I am all out of options.

    I feel great guilt that I’m not going to the Holy Sacrifice or to the House of God. I feel miserable because I know I deserve all of this and infinitely more yet I complain. I want to be a better Christian though, but how can I do it if I am stuck at home all of the time?

    Please pray that God may forgive me my sins and have mercy on me. Please pray for the intercessions of Our Lady. Also please pray to my patron Saint, Bernard of Clairvaux.

    • Think of it this way: if you go to Mass and have an event, you'll have a priest right there in case its fatal. :laugh1:

    But seriously, you have my intentions

    If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

    Humorously enough, those were my sentiments every time I was able to go to Mass & Confession. Sometimes though, my body is too weak to even try. 

    Indeed it is not death that we ought to fear, but the way we live our lives. When God judges all that we have done, I shudder at what I will be told then.

    Just do your best to lead as good a Catholic life as God wills you. He's looking for every reason to pardon. And don't forget that baptism remits all past sins. So whatever the old you did is long gone.

    I live about an hour and a half away from my Traditional Priest so I don’t want to burden him.

    Yes, well said.

    As St. Bernard said:

    “A saint is not someone who never sins, but one who sins less and less frequently and gets up more and more quickly.”

    • On days you can't get to Holy Mass, make sure to attend LIVE on line.
    Actually you can attend every day.

    • :pray: Yes "burden" the priest. It may mean his salvation. He may even be passing right by your door to visit another "burden" and be happy to make the trip worthwhile. But that is not your concern. Ask and you shall receive.

    • Yes, I know of a number of traditional priests that make long trips to provide the sacraments.  If you ask him, I'm sure he will find a way.
