@father_rmv "Did God really say...?" (that homosexuality was a sin?) -the serpent in the Garden

Satan is the 'father of lies.' His primary temptation is to convince people to believe lies about themselves, about God, and about reality.

@Faithful2Pray Amen 🙏

Let's offer one Hail Mary for those suffering from loneliness: shut-ins, people with no family… Amen🙏🏻 If you know someone who needs prayer, drop a comment below 💛

@JustAdaugoijele Amen! 🙏

O Blessed Virgin, you appeared repeatedly to the children, I would also like to see you, hear your voice and tell you :My Mother, take me to Heaven. Trusting in your love, I ask you to give me of your Son Jesus, a living faith, intelligence to know and love Him, patience and grace to serve Him, and one day to be able to unite with you and Jesus in Heaven. Amen

@JustAdaugoijele Amen 🙏.

Saint Lidwina of Schiedam is the patron saint of the chronically ill and those suffering from bodily afflictions, having endured 38 years of immense pain following a skating accident. Her prayers focus on patience, finding meaning in suffering, and uniting personal pain with Christ's passion. A Prayer to Saint Lydwine for chronic pain O Glorious Saint Lydwine, Christ chose you to suffer terrible chronic pain for poor sinners and to offer up all your sufferings to Him. Intercede on our behalf and help us bear our small sufferings with fortitude, calling to mind your greater ones. Grant us the grace to trust completely in Jesus, even during times of deep sorrow and pain. Help us to always place our petitions in the hands of Our Lady, and to unite our sufferings with those of Jesus and Mary for the salvation of souls. Saint Lydwine, patron of those who suffer from chronic pain and illness, pray for us that we may be relieved according to God’s holy will, and that we may offer our pain in love and patience for the glory of God. Amen If you're dealing with chronic pain, know that you're not alone, offer it (even imperfectly) with hers and Christ's. May Saint Lydwine intercede for your relief, peace, and healing according to God’s will.

@ATradCatholic Amen 🙏.

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen. O Lord my God, I thank Thee for the light of this new morning and for the mercy by which Thou hast preserved me through the night. Thou hast granted me another day to live in Thy presence and to seek Thee with a sincere heart. Before the cares of the world arise, I lift my soul to Thee. I offer Thee my thoughts, my words, my works, and all that this day will bring. Let everything be ordered according to Thy holy will and directed toward Thy glory. Grant me a pure intention in all things, vigilance over my senses, and perseverance in prayer. Guard my mind from error, my tongue from sin, and my heart from pride and distraction. Keep me from all occasions of sin and lead me in the path of righteousness. Strengthen me, O Lord, to carry faithfully whatever crosses this day may bring. Teach me to accept them with patience and unite them with the sufferings of Our Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of souls. I unite all my prayers, labors, joys, and sufferings with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered throughout the world, for the glory of Thy Name, for the good of Thy holy Church, for the conversion of sinners, and for the relief of the souls in Purgatory. May the Blessed Virgin Mary guide me and keep me close to her Son. May Saint Joseph protect me in all my labors. May my holy Guardian Angel watch over me and lead me always. O Lord, remain with me throughout this day, that I may never stray from Thy grace. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

@JustAdaugoijele Amen 🙏. This is well-prayed.

I don't know who might need this long prayer. But if you are at the point that, you are utterly confused and exhausted , and don't know what to say or pray again, Shall we pray with one heart and with faith , now? Dear God, If my lips doesn't know how or what to ask for, please hear my heart🥹 . I've reached to the point where my words feels too small for what's happening inside me. I don't even know how to frame my needs anymore. I don't know what the right prayer sounds like. I don't know what to ask You to fix, to change or to take away. All I know is that something in me is tired. I've prayed before with clarity. I've prayed before with confidence. But right now, my thoughts are scattered,and my emotions don't line up neatly with sentences. So, I'm coming to You without a script, without answers, without pretending I understand what You're doing. God, You see what I can't explain, You see the weight I carry quietly, the worries, I don't talk about, the questions I avoid asking out loud, because I am afraid of what the answer might be. I don't know whether I need rest or strength. I don't know whether I need patience or courage. I don't know whether I should hold on or let go. But You know. You know the places in me that feels overwhelmed. You know the fears I tried to suppress with faith language. You know the moments, I smiled on the outside, but feel uncertain on the inside. So, if my lips doesn't know what to ask for, please read what's happening in my heart. God, I don't want to pray the 'right ' prayer, I want, to pray the honest one .i don't want to impress You with words, I want to sit with You in truth. If I am asking for relief when You're teaching me endurance, help me to trust in You. If I am asking for answers, when You're inviting me to walk by faith, give me peace. If I am holding on to something that You're asking me to surrender, give me the courage, to lose my grip. I don't want my will over Yours, even when Yours feels confusing, even when Yours feels slow, even when Yours feels uncomfortable. God, I admit this humbly, I don't see the whole picture, I see moments, I see emotions, I see fragments, but You see the beginning, the middle and the end, all at once. So, if my prayers are incomplete, if my requests are misaligned, if my words fall short, please interpret them with mercy. Take what I'm trying to say, and shape it into what I actually need. When I am anxious, calm me. When I am numb, awaken me. When I am discouraged, strengthen me. When I am afraid , remind me that You are near.. God, I don't want to rush You. I don't want to force outcomes. I don't want to demand clarity, before obedience. Teach me how to trust You, even when my prayers feel unfinished. Teach me how to rest, even when my mind, keeps racing. Teach me how to wait without resentment. Teach me how to believe that silence is not absence. If I've been carrying burdens, You never asked me to carry, take them from me. If I've been trying to control what, only You can handle, help me release it. If I've been measuring Your faithfulness by my circumstances, correct my vision, I believe You are present, even when I don't feel You. I believe You're working, even when sometimes, it feels unfinished. I'm coming with total surrender, so hear my heart, because I am tired, and, until I found my words again, untill my prayers makes sense again, until clarity comes I place myself and my trust in Your hand. Let Your will be done, Yours, not mine!! Amen

@HolySouls3 Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏

Let's say three Hail Marys for the souls who have no-one to pray for them.

@McBrideLawNYC And the saints in heaven are lamp posts guiding our way.

Being born again is the first step in a journey of a million steps toward Heaven. Baptism opens the door. Penance and the Eucharist sustain us. Marriage and Holy Orders gives a man a life worth living. Extreme Unction is our emergency service. Catholics have been given everything. Die in a state of grace and you go home.

@SidneyPowell1 @UTSWMedCenter @bswhealth BTW resident salaries in US medical residency programs are paid with Medicare funds, not the hospital.

Why aren’t these programs for Americans⁉️ @UTSWMedCenter @bswhealth

@JustAdaugoijele Amen 🙏.

Surrender Prayer God, my Father, I thank You for all that You are and all that You do for me through Your son Jesus Christ. I praise You for my life, for Your mercy, and for Your Eucharist. In Jesus’ name, Father, I place myself entirely in Your Heart. I surrender to You my whole self, my heart, my mind, my memory, my imagination, my will, my emotions, my passions, my body, my desire for human approval, my weaknesses, my desires, my sins. I surrender every person in my life to You: my home,my children, my loved ones, I surrender every situation in my life to You. I surrender every relationship I am in to You. I surrender every concern I have to You. I surrender every fear I have to You. I surrender every doubt I have to You. I surrender all confusion I have to You. I surrender all sadness I am experiencing in my heart to You. I surrender all my wounds to you. I surrender all anxiety and worry I have to You. I surrender all that deceives me in my heart to You. I trust You to care for me and others in a perfectly loving way. As I have emptied myself and surrendered everything to You, I ask You now, Father, to fill me with Your Holy Spirit and all the gifts and fruits of Your Spirit. Holy Spirit You are the source of love, hope, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, tenderness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. Purify my desires. Help me to open my heart to You. Help me to become perfectly receptive as a pure child. Help me to believe in Your love for me. Help me to hope in Your love. Help me to receive from the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus all grace and virtues necessary for me to become the person you created me to be. I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your son, God Almighty Father. O Most Holy Immaculate Virgin Mary. I entrust this prayer to your Heart, and ask you to press it to your wounded heart and intercede for me to your Son Jesus. Please help me to be as you are, a perfect disciple, an obedient servant, a true child of God. Amen.

@BishopBurbidge Amen 🙏

In this 4th Week of Lent, pray for the gift of perseverance so you will stay strong in faith; courageous in carrying your crosses; and consistent in loving and forgiving others. God will never allow your efforts to be in vain. So, persevere in faith, holiness, and good works!

@JustAdaugoijele I pray this daily. 🙏 ❤️

Stay With Me, Lord Prayer of St. Pio of Pietrelcina Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You. Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You, I am without fervor. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You, I am in darkness. Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will. Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You. Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much, and always be in Your company. Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You. Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love. Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes; death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all it’s dangers. I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart. Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by communion, at least by grace and love. Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it, but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You! Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen

@SecretFire79 Blessed Mother Mary experienced labor pains during the Passion of her Son.

DID MARY HAVE LABOR PAINS WHEN JESUS WAS BORN?🇻🇦 After the fall, God told Eve that childbirth would come with pain. Because of that passage in Genesis, many people assume that Mary must have suffered the same way. But Catholic tradition has long held something different. The Church has consistently taught that the birth of Christ was miraculous, just as His conception was miraculous. Many Saints and theologians explain that Christ came forth from the womb of the Virgin in a way that preserved her virginity completely. Some of the Fathers used a beautiful image: light passing through glass. The glass remains intact, yet the light passes through it. In the same way, Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, and she remained ever-virgin. This is why Catholics speak not only of the Virgin Birth, but of the perpetual virginity of Mary. What have you heard about this teaching?

@Faithful2Pray Amen 🙏.

Let's offer one Hail Mary for those suffering from loneliness: shut-ins, people with no family… Amen🙏🏻

@Faithful2Pray Personal intention. Thank you. 🙏💜

Hi everyone! I’m heading out to adoration in a few hours … If you would like prayer, just drop a note or write “personal intention”… I’ll be praying a rosary for you while I’m there. God bless you all 🙏🏻

@VinoNStrosGal Surgery is controlled violence on the human body. That control includes control of the associated pain. Without that, it becomes uncontrolled violence, which is criminal.

When I scroll the TL and see more surgeons openly signaling they’re moving away from full-agonist opioids post-surgery, framing it as the new “responsible default,” I cringe. Because I’ve lived post-operative pain. We’re not talking about minor procedures. We’re talking about: • Hysterectomies • Total knee replacements • Spinal fusions • Major abdominal surgeries • Shoulder reconstructions • Adult tonsillectomies • Mandibular reconstructions • Triple bypass These are surgeries where bone is cut. Where muscle is split. Where organs are moved. Where the body is opened and repaired. There is a place for every non-opioid option. Comprehensive care matters. Nerve blocks matter. Tylenol and Ibuprofen have a place. But they are not a substitute for adequate post-operative pain control when tissue trauma is significant. And that’s the line that seems to be blurring. Your post-operative pain management plan should be discussed before you ever go under anesthesia. Not after. Not when you’re groggy. Not when you’re already hurting. BEFORE 👆🏽 ⚠️ Ask: What’s the plan if the pain is severe? What happens if first-line meds fail? Who decides escalation? 👉🏼 This is informed consent. Because the worst part of surgery isn’t the incision. It’s waking up and realizing there was never a real plan for what comes next. If we can plan the surgery down to the millimeter, we can plan pain control that keeps full-agonist opioids on the table when the surgery warrants them.

@Catholic_bro Amen 🙏

Pray for The elderly and lonely

@BreeSolstad He becomes guilty of detraction who, without objectively valid reason, discloses another's faults and failings to persons who did not know them. -CCC 2477

I could not possibly disagree more vehemently.

@BobGOYA1 Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

Courage is a curious thing. John Wayne once said, “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” I don’t completely agree with that. In my case, I was never “scared to death.” I wasn’t afraid of cancel culture or the woke mob because I knew then, as I know now, that the HOLY SPIRIT HAS MY BACK! HE IS WHAT FUELS MY STRENGTH!
