We dont suffer alone

Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent. ~St. John of the Cross

Need Gods help?

Well.... I went to confession the other day...as usual it turned into a mini counseling session... I started to share with father that I have been struggling with My finances... I received some pure and simple advice.... Worth sharing I would say, especially for American Christians who happen to be positioned in one of the most affluent / materialistic Cultures in the world....so here goes...

1. Be content with what you have.
2. Be grateful that God has provided for your NEEDS.
3. Strive to live a simple and humble life.
4. If you are suffering offer your suffering up to God, consider that you are suffering with Christ and His church.

I was then given a prayer I could pray daily:
Prayer for All Needs
We beg you, Lord, to help and defend us. Deliver the oppressed. Pity the insignificant. Raise the fallen. Show yourself to the needy. Heal the sick. Bring back those of your people who have gone astray. Feed the hungry. Lift up the weak. Take off the prisoners’ chains.
May every nation come to know that you alone are God, that Jesus is your Child, that we are your people, the sheep that you pasture. Amen.

I hope you are blessed!!!!

Godspeed
