A Psalm Of David

 

Saint Catherine of Siena.

Dear Readers,

Saint Catherine of Siena.

Born in 1347 a year before the plague would devastate the city of Siena, Catherine’s was an age of extremes. It was Tuscan beauty scarred by violence and the plague. The duality manifested itself in Catherine as well. An uneducated woman and prolific writer. A pragmatist and mystic.

When the fame of her holiness spread, she became the protagonist of an intense activity of spiritual guidance for people from every walk of life: nobles and politicians, artists and ordinary people, consecrated men and women and religious, including Pope Gregory XI.

May God Bless You All...

Day 9 - Mary Undoer of Knots Novena. pray that we can heal from these hurtful things we tell ourselves so that we can accept that the foundation of our identity lies in our relationship with Christ.

 

Peace be with you!

As we live "in this world but not of it," we can sometimes fall into the habit of thinking that our identity stems from our relationships, our jobs, our health or our belongings. At other times, we can believe the lie that we are no more than our sins or our struggles. Let's pray today to break free from these lies.

Let's ask Mary, Undoer of Knots to pray that we can heal from these hurtful things we tell ourselves so that we can accept that the foundation of our identity lies in our relationship with Christ.

Additionally, Pope Francis has spoken on many occasions about his devotion to Mary, Undoer of Knots. So today, let's also pray for our Holy Father and for the Church.

"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words".

Dear Readers,

The Powerful Words of a Good Picture.

"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words".

The above picture could tell us about a pleasant journey of a father and his child. But in reality, it could be also, it was actually the last pleasant journey of a father with his child.

Life will and never ever always be a bed of roses. There will be ups and downs. there will be lows and highs but it never should be there when a relationship or bond is brought to an end.

I consider This picture to be the last picture of a parent whose children were taken away from them. The people who took them away and brainwashed a parent's children to go against them. Made that parent a Person who looked like he was on death row. No one would understand the reason why he had to go through this pain. people only listen to one side of the story and will never listen to the other side of it. 

People have become so blind that he gave up on explaining to himself who is right and who was wrong. He spent many nights just sitting up, Crying his heart out wondering when or if he would ever see his kids again.

The question has become so difficult to answer in today's world because the only person who knows what the situation is then only we can understand what a parent and child go through in these unknown circumstances. 

We can just only speculate about the parent and child's feelings, based on the existing situation that was brought to light. what the relationship was like with each parent, what it might have been like growing up with the other parent, etc.

By default, we as parents love our children very much as our children love us back. Without a doubt, Therefore It is very much difficult and painful for the parent who continues to care about the child despite the child’s rejection of them. 

A parent may be able to find peace once they can honestly say to themselves that they have done what they believe was best, have made more than reasonable efforts at outreach/communication, and acted in the best interests of the child. but when someone brings in a barrier between the children and the parent, that is a total injustice.

Children have been told these days that either their father or mother whom they depend on, is separated from the child. that their parent has abandoned them and left.

Actually many times the exiled parent I could say make continuous efforts to make contact with the children, but the children who are in current custody parent blocks the phone and don't allow the children to speak to the father.

He remembers when his kids used to call him practically every day asking about anything but then now they aren't allowed to call him...

I think I speak for most parents who have been alienated...without their children, we are not hollow or what I can say, cold-hearted creatures. We just go through the emotions of everyday life just trying to find a purpose to exist. Most of us will keep our emotions bottled up because no one around us truly understands the level of pain that we go through. Many of us will contemplate suicide. Some will succeed.

That Parents name was smeared all over town, by unscrupulous characters, with false accusations, and now he has lost his children. Countless sleepless nights and nights where he cried himself to sleep. But he is still standing. They wanted to break Him. They want to break you.

Today, I may still only get a limited time or we say time is not on our side, but his bond with his children will be as strong as ever and as they get older they will develop more of a voice for themselves.

I have seen firsthand, a diabolical plan that was meant to push him out of the picture, they won't succeed with their plan as it will completely backfire and he will get his children back. With God on our side, The Father has nothing to worry about. There is hope for every alienated parent out there. Prayer is very important. I wish such pain Never will exist. But it does. Learning to stand above it and push forward is crucial.

It is tempting to hold on to hope for reconciliation for a meaningful contact, but holding on commits you to pain and rejection each time Father's Day, Birthday, Christmas, or any other traditional family celebration comes around. It may be easier to accept what you cannot control, and trust that in time, whatever pain/injury the child is feeling normalize to the point where they will once again want to have a relationship with you.

Please do not bottle up your emotions. it will really kill you, You have to have a healthy mind in order to stay in the fight to face your opponents My heart hurts for each and every parent who has to stay without their children. I hope that one day in my lifetime things will change where in children will have a chance to be with both their parents.

I will Pray for you all.

God Bless You All...

Alienation of Parents... Seriously A Big No-No!!!

Dear Readers,

"Alienation"

Many years ago there was a tv series by the name Alien Nation, we all loved the series but hey I ain't talking about the tv series. I'm talking about,

Alienation of a Child from a Parent. 

What is Parent Alienation?

Parental alienation is termed as a mental state in which a child, usually one whose parents are engaged in a high-conflict separation or divorce, allies himself strongly with one parent (the preferred parent) and rejects a relationship with the other parent (the alienated parent) without legitimate justification.

WOW!!! Now that's a mouthful, ain't it?

Many times it's usually the father or the Men get affected by being alienated from a child's life. Does anyone know how it feels for a man to be in pain after being separated and alienated from a child? Tell me how does it feel?

let me explain it in a little portion, and let me elaborate a bit more in a detailed manner...

When a child is born, the child immediately forms a bond with both parents. it's like a DNA tie-up between the Parents and the Child. The child will feel secure, will trust the parents to the core, and will be loved no matter what. but if seen after the alienation is done, the attachment is severed and the bond between the alienated parents and children results in unavoidable circumstances like depression, antisocial behavior, abuse, and narcissism.

Furthermore who gets affected the most? 

Parental Alienation always is disastrous, in each and every way, and trust me it cripples a parent's life to the extreme, and at times the child's also. 

Parental alienation always affects one parent usually and that too the mental health: and indirectly this parental alienation negatively influences the mental health of male children and adolescents who are victims of parental alienation. Alienated children/adolescents display guilt, sadness, and depressed mood; low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence; distress and frustration; lack of impulse control, substance abuse, and delinquent behavior; separation anxiety, fears, and phobias; and increased tendency to develop psychosomatic illness; suicidal tendencies and suicide attempt; sleep and eating disorders; educational problems and the list goes on.

Parental alienation negatively affects the mental health of adult men too,who were victims of Long-term effects of parental alienation including low self-esteem, depression, wife infidelity, spouse ill talking, drug/alcohol abuse, lack of trust, alienation from own children, divorce, problems with identity and not having a sense of belonging or roots, choosing not to have children to avoid being rejected by them, low achievement, anger and bitterness over the time lost with the alienated parent; 

Parental alienation poses a negative influence on the mental health of men who are alienated from their children. Fathers who have lost some or all contact with their children for months or years following separation or divorce may be depressed and suicidal.

Sadly I have seen a lot of cases where sometimes either man or woman is subjected to this disease and that is Alienation and this ain't good. 

Trust me it's really bad to see children subjected to this risk.

I took the following line from my previous post, which is 

"So the next time you think that it's okay to tell your child to lie about their parent or keep them from that parent for no good reason, remember that when they get into trouble, or turn on you or themselves. THAT IS ON YOU..."

AGAIN I REPEAT

This is becoming more and more common these days... Children are separated from their parents, and put at RISK...  "JUST STOP THIS ALIENATION, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, OUR KIDS ARE NOT TOYS FOR US TO PLAY AROUND WITH THEM".

Humble Request to everyone, Help one another and STOP!!! the Alienation of Parents. There is a Father or Mother out there who needs our help...

Help Us Help Them...

Thank You All

God Bless You All...

A Cry for Help...I Decided to Choose Myself...

Dear Readers,

I Decided to Choose Myself...

I guess I'm sorry, for I stopped talking to you. but I guess, you didn't wanna talk to me also. I expected too much...

I had reached out with all my issues...

They were a huge list of my insecurities, thinking you would help me, but I was wrong and you would never help me.

I guess the blame is on me. I tried to love someone, with a heart like mine which was already broken, by that someone, and I thought I expected some love, respect & Loyalty. but what the hell I asked too much and got nothing, and I mean nothing in return.

I thought I loved a person who would really love me for what I was but I was wrong. who would love an ugly guy like me, when the other person didn't know how to love back.

So, I guess I'm sorry for setting a boundary, for someone who never texted me and never told me they were ok with me.

But you know one thing you made me go insane, day after day. thinking I was the only one you loved.

Again I was never the one you loved, as your cousin said. like a fool, I waited in vain. that's what for life to change, I cried out twice for your help.

Once was already enough,  but we are not made to love one another. Your mind does not think like mine...

Your mighty heart might let love die, but I m not made that way...because you were never made to say love to me.

So,

I'm sorry

But Now...

But I will choose myself over you.

God Bless You All...

Have you ever had a Creepy Encounter with Evil???

Dear Readers,

Today's exciting question is a mind-boggling one. Brace yourselves.

Have you ever had a Creepy Encounter with Evil...

After reading the above question, many of you must have had a shiver go down your spine. well, evil does exist... and trust me they really do.

Boooooo!!! Evil Does exist...

What is everyone's idea of what evil is? I found this dictionary's meaning on the internet? striking and mind-blowing.

EVIL is Morally wrong or bad; Immoral; Wicked: Evil deeds; an evil life. Harmful; Detrimental: Evil laws. Characterized or accompanied by misfortune or suffering; unfortunate; disastrous: to be fallen on evil days. due to actual or imputed bad conduct or character: an evil reputation.

Is just that it? Is that just all?

Evil is what I m talking about Ghosts, Demons, Possession, the Afterlife, Exorcisms, etc etc etc.

How many of you do believe in the above all ???

Many of us are scared of the same. Everyone has already had their share of Demons. I remember my ancestors used to tell me about ghosts and the evil things that happen around the world, and that we should not mess with evil or we will have to face the repercussions. 

The Devil does play a huge role in everyone's life, especially the weak. he can give things to entice you and take away everything from you.

In the end, your soul is his for the taking...

I came across a Roman Catholic devout family, with loving parents and loving children and they were happy, and I mean happy that's when the Devil doesn't like happiness. He will take each and every chance opportunity to take that happiness away from everyone and everything may it be human beings or even animals, no one is spared.

As I said life can be cruel but all we need is trust and Faith. 

God Bless You All...

You know very well how desperate I am, my pain, and how I am bound by these knots. Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. No one, not even the evil one himself, can take it away from your precious care. In your hands, there is no knot that cannot be undone. Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power with Your Son and My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot.

Hear my plea.

Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge!

Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.

Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

How Does One Write His Own Obituary...

Dear Readers,

I was today going through some good old memories, I had with my Family, Some photographs I had on my Portable Drive. There were some good memories while it really lasted. But finally, I came across one picture of my Father. It was his obituary, and I had drafted it out. Seriously I started thinking of the Obituary, and it struck me. 

Who will Draft My Obituary???

Jokingly, Then I thought why not draft mine and keep it ready? I never thought about it when my days could be numbered, or my time was up...

Although I put my life in God's hands I knew he will keep me safe... 

“When I went deep into Obituary preparation, I deeply thought about having something like this ready on hand because you just never know when things are going south or anything to go the wrong way in your life.” 

Seriously, I thought that maybe I might be the best spokesman for myself, and write my own Obituary!!!”

When I wrote my Father's Obituary. I really couldn't believe it, me writing my Father's obituary, the same way I thought about myself who will write my own obituary???  

Hey, it has its benefits. Presumably, I know what's best for me. rather than ask someone to write about me. So I really saved my survivors an awful lot of work at a time when they would be dealing with grief — or shock of my death — and handling funeral arrangements, and a host of other unwanted tasks. Trust me in today's world, everyone will never mourn the death of a dear one. 

Preparing for the death of a dear one means it's just a favor...

I really thought about this. well, this could be possible when you have survivors, BUT when you have no one then this is an awesome way to prepare yourself before you near death & after death.

Looks like I have to prepare myself...when it comes to one of the last memories I leave behind.

“This excruciating process does require you to think about what’s important and what you want other people to know or remember about you,” but I'd rather leave it to a few words because no one cares who you and I were. We would just be a figment of everyone's Imagination...

Therefore I decided to keep it simple to the core... 

A small Eucharistic Celebration and definitely no Burial but a Cremation absolutely of course, And one piece of information in the obituary, would remain intact and that I died Peacefully & No Condolences Please.

Hehehehehe hahahahhaha

Well, I have just finished writing MINE...

Isn't it a fun way to prepare yourself before DEATH...

Thank You, Readers

God Bless You All...

- The Lord’s mercies towards you will never stop.

"I Went A Stray for my Personal Needs:- Words of a True Narcissist..."

 

Dear Readers,

This is a letter from a Real-time Narcissist who confessed to her Adultery, Slutty Affair, and Caused turmoil in her own marriage by going away as a stray for her Personal Shitty Needs.

The funny part is she goes around saying that her husband has left the family. and never accepted her mistake. The Whole family doesn't know anything but blames the husband... Quite interesting. 

Names have been changed to save some people from humiliation (Some don't feel humiliated but love the attention).

Following is the Letter...

"Dr. I am really ashamed of how I have spoken of My Husband. I will not be able to convince him and myself of speaking so rudely about him. I know he loves me, and yesterday I realized how it would actually be to live without him. I pushed him to the limit with with the way I have behaved.  I know I have hurt him immensely and what I have done also is not forgivable. It's because of you and Muhammad that my Husband has come back alive and is with us in the family. I don't know how to face you but now I'm in the place that he was yesterday."

"I have shamed my Father also in the way I have written about my Husband to another man. I am totally ashamed of what I did. I don't know how I will ever face you after you knowing what I have done. My Husband has started smoking today which I have never seen him do. It's all because of me. It's not in my control now to tell him anything. It will be hard for him to listen to me and harder for me run my family. I'm so ashamed of what I've done and I know how much damage I have done to him and his reputation. Thank you for getting him back home and going through so much stress because of my mistakes.  At the right time, I was caught to be put in place. Sorry My Husband, sorry Dr. Sorry Muhammed for all the trouble I've caused and demoralizing My Husband in all the slander rude low moral words I've used for him." 

"I sat and read the messages that I wrote and how badly I think of him. I'm so so sorry. I don't even have the guts to call you and say this to you. I've no more right to even complain any further of the stresses I have. I'm sorry for going so astray just for my selfish needs, but now I'm going to look back at my mistakes and not not continue in the same manner. I will work harder to keep him happy and I know in time all wounds heal. I have promised to be with him and I will fulfill that promise I made to God. I will work hard to my Husband and the children and my Father was kind enough not to say a word to my Mother about all this that happened."  

"I know you have treated me so well and I have failed you so miserably. I'm sorry for being such a bad person in my Husband's life. I can see that he has forgiven me by coming back. So much he cares for the children n me that's why he is back and I take this as a sign of new life for me. A time to run my family with no complaints. I will do it and I will do it with full dedication toward my husband & My Children."

Even after all this was said and done she continued to do the same thing up to now.

I pity the Husband, who lost his kids because his wife was a Narcissist...

What can I say, A Narcissist will always be a Narcissist forever and ever.

Have a blessed weekend

God Bless You All...
