By your will, Lord God,
your Son underwent the agony of the cross
to break the power of Satan over man.
Give your people grace to rise again with Christ,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May the Lord bless us and keep us from all harm; and may he lead us to eternal life.
AMEN

Now, Master, you let your servant go in peace.
You have fulfilled your promise.
My own eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the sight of all peoples.
A light to bring the Gentiles from darkness;
the glory of your people Israel.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.

Twins....
You are NOT alone. Dear woman...I wish I could give you a big hug. What you are feeling , in my opinion, is so.. so normal. You are not alone. My husband is still, after three years, angry with God. I pray for him often... to find the peace he needs. He is even questioning the existence of a God.
His thought....... If someone like me, Laura, can get cancer... to the extent I did. .. endure what I did.... then there just might not be a God.
Honey..... you are not alone. Right now... you life must feel like you are totally falling apart. Maybe you feel like...." to hell with it" since you have been a good person always..... and yet..... no matter how good you were... or how much you cared for the body God gave you.... you STILL got very sick... and lost a very important part of your body...... and now.... your husband.
I will not sit here and write to you.... trying to convince you to pray... or give it to God... or simply put.... to move past all this. I wont do this because it is NOT that simple.
What I will do... for you ... is talk to God for you right now. I will simply pray that He will take the anger and pain from you.. .. and that you will be able to TRUST God again... someday.
BLESS YOU HONEY !!! BLESS YOU ! You are not alone... and I so wish that you had NEVER gotten BC.

From Morning Prayer
Psalm 8
The greatness of God, the dignity of manWith glory and honour you crowned your Anointed One, alleluia.
How wonderful is your name over all the earth,
O Lord, our Lord!
How exalted is your glory
above the sky!
Out of the mouths of children and infants you have brought praise,
to confound your enemies, to destroy your vengeful foes.
When I see the heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and stars, which you set in their place -
what is man, that you should take thought for him?
what is the son of man, that you should look after him?
You have made him but one step lower than the angels;
you have crowned him with glory and honour;
you have set him over the works of your hands.
You have put everything beneath his feet,
cattle and sheep and the beasts of the field,
the birds in the air and the fish in the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the waters.
How wonderful is your name above all the earth,
O Lord, our Lord!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
With glory and honour you crowned your Anointed One, alleluia.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Short reading Romans 14:7-9The life and death of each of us has its influence on others; if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord, so that alive or dead we belong to the Lord. This explains why Christ both died and came to life, it was so that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

Twins...
My heart just breaks for you for you have endured too much already. I understand your anger with God. I have found myself angry with God many times and in the end, my anger has brought me closer to him everytime. I pray the same will be the case for you.
This thread is a marvelous one for you will find only support from the sweet sisters here and you will also find understanding and love from all of them! We will be praying for you and hope you post often to let us know what we can do to help!
Hugs,
Sandy

Got some news that was less than good yesterday... I prayed for help with acceptance but my hubby isn't quite there in the spiritual way so it's kind of lonely in that way.
Looks like I will need Rads as well as chemo, I already gave both breasts. I just want to live.
Lord I need peace with the hard choices I'm having to make.. I also need my husband to pray with me as we are close in every other way but I need him on my talks with you, my walk with you I know it's just fear, he was raised catholic help me open up that dialogue. In your name I humbly ask for your help, amen.0 -
Dear Lord please help Laura and her husband during this time. Please open his heart to her needs and be close to Laura during this difficult time, I ask this in Jesus name. Amen

I had bad news from my 20 y.o. son today. He is a very troubled young man. I don't know what to do with or for him. He is very depressed, but also very immature and self-centered. I am adding his name to the intentions thread. Please keep him in your prayers.
Beagles girl, I know how you feel. I am in the middle of neoadjuvant chemo, still mastectomy, still a round of Taxol, a year of Herceptin, and radiation to look forward to. I worry for my family if something happens to me. My DH keeps telling me I'll be fine. I hope so, but it's hard. My youngest is 13, so I am glad she is not as young as your children, but it is hard to think of not being around for her and also for my 20 y.o. although I can't seem to do the right thing for him any way. Prayers for you and your family.

Duckyb1 so glad you have joined us. My husband was In drexel hills in the early part of his life. First grade would have been 1956..All I remember from his stories was that the Catholic grade school was across the street. He went back to his old house in the 70's (late). The family that bought it from his parents were newlyweds at the time----they still lived there and had a many children. Typical of good Catholic families of that time period.
Please, add your intentions to the Intention thread they will be going soon to The Fatima shrine in Lewiston NY. Betty will be taking them. Namaste sheila

As this extraordinary & historic week comes to a close and trying to put it into perspective, I thought of this verse and it seems appropriate in thinking of the age-old battle between good and evil. Let there be peace on earth. Amen.
To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.ecclesiastes 3:1-8 0 -
Laura, Kay, and Twins,
You are all in my prayers tonight. Lord, I humbly ask that your bring to Laura, Kay, and Twins the very things they need to restore their own physical health and to grant unto them everything they need to be whole, to restore the complete and total health of their families not only physically and mentally but also spiritually. I ask the Blessed Mother to look down on each of them during this Easter season and during this special time when we remember and pay tribute to all Mothers to pray for them and total healing of their families. Only you, Lord, know their special needs. I humbly ask you grant what each of them need. In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.
Happy Mother's Day, Sweet Sisters! Huga and Love to All,
Sandy

Jesus in Your presence we stand, humbled by Your mercy and love, given freely even when not sought, I ask dear Jesus that You bestow Your grace on those in need, in need of healing - mind, soul, heart and body. Through Your most Sacred Heart touch the sons in trouble, the daughters in despair, and the families broken from heartache and pain. In their suffering may they see the beauty of what will be again, and understand that without sorrow all the joyful noise would not exist. Jesus keep them close to Your heart, carry them now as they build their strength to honor and praise You. In Your name I pray.
