I received a Freepmail from Old Friend:

my daughter's roommate is a catholic girl who's younger brother died in a tragic accident last summer. This sister is having a terrible time with her grief and I was wondering if a mass could be said for her healing. We just don't know what to do for her. thank you.

In a second letter Old Friend wrote:

she's just 24 yrs. old and her brother was struck and killed by lightning on the beach last summer. It's been so terrible and there seems to be no comfort for her.........so you can address the prayers from freepers to Megan............and a million thanks......I will go to our local church and have a mass said there for her too. I feel so helpless. Thanks and blessings.......Old Friend

I would say to address your prayers to Freeper, Old Friend, who can then copy them off for Megan.

Have her pray to ask the Blessed Mother for help. I used to be troubled by depression. It was awful. I would just die inside if someone said the wrong thing etc. I prayed and prayed. One day I decided to ask for her help. Soon after, without my realizing it, I was healed. I remember thinking, "Hmmm...omigosh, it's been a long time since I've been depressed."

That was over 15 yrs. ago. I no longer go into a tailspin over some problem, flaw, or whatever.

Thank you, Jesus, and thank you, Blessed Mother, for obtaining this great favor for me..

I will pray for Megan.

I will also pray for you, Angelique. Remember, the Church is divine and it is all too human. And Our Lady warned at LaSalette (look up her message in Google.com) that things in the Church will not be peaches and cream--that we will be betrayed by those consecrated to her Son). Also, look up Catholic Family News. The lead story this month is how St. Peter Damian spelled it out in startingly clear and modern language how bad a problem (and how unadressed) homosexuality was over 1000 yrs. ago.

Despondency is a tactic of the devil.

Fight the good fight! "Lord, you have the words of eternal life. Where would we turn?" (my recollection of Peter's reply to Jesus at the end of John:6.)
