    I’m trying to live in faith, not worry and give in to despair . My husband abandoned me for his mistress, seeking a divorce and left me completely impoverished , to the point of not having enough money for groceries , gas and essentials. I have enough to last me two weeks . He has hidden all his money. I pray, submit to God’s will but sometimes I do give in to despair . Trying not to. I have no idea what Jesus has in store for me , I’m 61 years of age, married 33 years, but I will trust .🛐🛐🛐✝️

      Hi Anna, I've been thinking about you and praying for you today, since I saw your message. My situation is not as near to the edge as yours, but my spouse also found himself a mistress half his age and so I had to end us after 10 years. It was very hard to get him to move, even though he was openly carrying on his affair, once I found out, again. I'm still in the house we purchased, but the mortgage comes up next December, so I don't know where I'll be after then. He's been out around 4 months now and the first few were so desperately hard. I'm disabled w/ a pain/fatigue illness and the depression anxiety have been esp. crippling, to the point where I could barely leave to shop and such.
      I'm a devout Christian as well. Please don't feel guilty or extra burdened because you're scared and despairing at times. The trauma from this kind of betrayal is crushing. There are many scriptures that speak to this. From Ps. 34: 17The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles. 18The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit. 19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.…
      Scriptures alone don't dampen all the pain and fear, but they renew our addled mind. Please know that there are people who understand the depth of anguish you're going through. I wish we didn't share this common suffering. Since we do though, I can at least offer more than surface comfort, because I feel it w/ you deeply. God bless you, Anna. You are loved, you are cherished, even though the man who should be doing that has rebelled.

      @@saintejeannedarc9460 Hi, dear friend . God bless you for writing to me. It’s consoling . I don’t feel so alone . I’m learning there are a good number of us women who are in similar situation. It’s horrifying . Our society is falling apart, complete lack of morals . Living in the darkness of sin . You are right, the betrayal is crushing . I find myself breaking down in sobs out in public . Yesterday I started trembling uncontrollably in the supermarket . I had to rush out and sit in my car just sobbing . I’ve been hospitalized twice for suicide ideation . It just comes on so strong . I begged for a Bible and was locked in a room where I just knelt and prayed . I’m sorry what you’re going through , sounds awful . I certainly understand the anxiety and depression . This is not the first affair I’ve dealt with. There’s also been an incredible amount of psychological abuse. Cruelty. I just pray and pray and the Lord is really doing a big work in me . I’m learning to trust ( hard at times), have hope and grow in faith . It’s a journey . An ongoing conversion . Some days are horribly painful , PTSD, near panic attacks , attacks against my faith. All I can do is keep trusting . I still love my husband but I can’t take the abuse. He’s a sick, sick man . In complete denial . I pray for him a lot . Now a lot of repressed anger is coming out in me . I’m starting to realize what I’ve been through. Thank you for your advice , your story. I’ll keep you in my prayers . We can pray for each other and all the other women who are going through this . God bless you . ❤️

People, DO NOT waste time, I am happy after 40 years of clinical depression, off of all psychiatric medications, a former living hell. There is hope, it is quite simpmy JESUS.

I'm sometimes scared too. Trust Jesus. If He pulled you from the sisters, He has a perfect place for you. Don't look down into the waves at your feet. Look into the Lord's eyes and know He is leading you. Stay rooted in the Mass, go to confession, and finds a spot under Mary's mantle. 📿

    Fr to lift Jesus up, we need to begin with hands joined and head bowed down when we pray the Glory be and any prayer that mentions the Holy name of Jesus

    Thank you for this wonderful meditation. As anxiety kicks in regularly, I've heard that it is an attack from the enemy. I will practice putting everything before God. Thank you, again, from Tijuana.

    Indeed Jesus said to His Apostles and us baptized going about in the world
    “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

    What a wonderful message. Thank you Lord for this sincere and gifted man of God. Fr. Riccardo has an evangelical flavour that i appreciate as a Christian. He has an ecumenical heart, in his reference to a non-Catholic pastor. I strive for unity in the body of Christ and my heart is glad when I hear it from any side of the Christian divide (that doesn't have to be a divide if we don't let it). God bless.

    Come, Holy Spirit, come renew our faith, hope and love.
    Ps 104:30, Ga 20:22
    Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you. 'As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.' 22 After saying this he breathed on them and said: “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
    😇Jesus, I love You!❤️

    Fr.John, in all honesty, to hope is a great thing to do, however, it is easier said than done. It is like the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. We are in a beautiful yet broken world. So help us Jesus as we gaze upon your face. AMEN.
