Picking Up The Pieces

[MissyP89]

Hi, pham.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who was kind enough to pray for me over my last request. I was able to go to Confession this weekend and am beginning to take those first steps back to spiritual health. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see my confessor, and I'm not sure when I'll get to talk to him one-on-one to ask about spiritual direction. For right now, it's going to be frequent Confession and Eucharist for me.

As for my current intention, the last few weeks have been a mess and I've done a lot of damage with the people I love. Mostly that came from putting up walls and lashing out at anyone who tried to help me.

I know I need to start making repairs with those people, but I'm still hurting a lot and it's honestly the last thing I want to do.

Please pray for my heart to be softened in all of this. I'm tired of feeling fake and forcing joy.

Jesus, my Healer, have mercy on me. Mary, my Mother, help me to fashion myself after you.
