An addendum to my earlier prayer: the Virginia abortion bill did NOT include infanticide – that was an added thought by their governor . God bless you all!

Dear Carolyn, thanks again for a wonderful reflection reading. Your word have sparked much comfort. Please pray with me for my daughter. She is struggling with fear, she is in a toxic job environment and is relyctant to leave because it pays so well and because she has no other offers. It tears me up to hear her frustration She started the job with so many hopes and great ideas and solutions. Please pray for me too that I am a strength for her and not a crutch with too much advice. Thank you

I so agree Carolyn, endurance is the key to entering the Kingdom. I have been practicing it for many, many years (and yes, my many, many years of trials is but a blink in God’s eye), I am still waiting and hoping for God to intervene. I have prayed the Suscipe Prayer many years ago, along with Our Lady Undoer of Knots more recently. I kept asking what must I do to make things right, but the last thing that happened to me was so humiliating, I chose to stop attending Mass. It has been six months now since I left and I have no desire to return. But I cling to my faith in God; I read the scripture of the day, these reflections, and sometimes watch the television Mass. I used to pray for those who were the cause of my humiliation, asking God to bless them, to forgive them because it became more and more difficult for me to do it. I no longer pray prescribed prayers. My daily prayer now is ‘Your Will be done” whatever that is.

Keep me in your prayers Carolyn. Thank you.

God bless

My oldest daughter is 12 weeks pregnant, which is a miracle considering their fertility struggles. Her sister is getting married in Cabo in May and the older sister, matron of honor, feels in good conscience she cannot attend because of Zika virus threat. Her sister is very upset, angry, frustrated with her decisionThey are so close and so upset about this. Please pray that God helps them resolve this. God bless, thank you for your prayers.

The choir I used to belong to in college sang the song Take Lord, Receive by John Foley. I did not realize the song was based on the Suscipe Prayer you shared in your reflection, Carolyn. Thank you so much for rekindling a beautiful memory. Here is a version of the song. Beautiful words and music:

As I sit here reading your reflections tears are streaming down my face. Yes endurance is the key to life, without endurance and continually giving up all of life’s struggles to God, life can be unbearable! It’s what keeps me alive! Thankyou for this reflection!
