I want to pray for the mental health of pregnant women, of women who are about to go into labor and of women who have given birth, the mental health of their partners and also for their babies.

If you have someone in mind and you would like me to pray for them, feel free to comment here their name or send through the ask button (it can be a fake name, God knows who you are talking about)

"(LifeSiteNews) — Research has found that praying the Rosary has mental and spiritual benefits which rival those of modern meditation.

In a February multinational study published in the Journal of Religion and Health, researchers from Italy, Poland, and Spain surveyed 361 practicing Catholics to learn how praying the Rosary affected their mental and spiritual well-being.

“The study of benefits linked to meditation and prayer has provided a considerable amount of empirical evidence revealing their positive influence on health, coping, resilience and flourishing,” an abstract from the research read.

The study, titled “Is the Rosary Still Relevant? Exploring its Impact on Mental Health and Well-Being,” interviewed Catholics from Italy, Poland, and Spain, all of which are traditionally Catholic countries."

"The study of benefits linked to meditation and prayer has provided a considerable amount of empirical evidence revealing their positive influence on health, coping, resilience and flourishing. The practice of praying Rosary has drawn much less attention in academic circles, even if it could probably be enlisted with other forms of meditation and prayer with similar positive effects. The present research based on a broad international sample from three Catholic countries (Italy, Poland and Spain) assesses the extent to which such prayer is linked to subjective well-being, empathy and other expressions of religiosity. The sample size consisted of 361 participants. Sampling was conducted using a chain or network method, initiated by reaching out to individuals involved in Catholic movements and devotional groups. The estimated response rate was approximately 65%. The results point to positive moderate correlations of rosary with those variables, like reducing depression, increasing empathy and lowering religious struggles. The network structure analysis reveals that religiosity and religious struggle have the highest number of associations with other variables, establishing them as central factors. Additionally, the qualitative analysis of open-ended questions highlights the perceived protective effect of this prayer, which serves as a source of inner peace and a coping mechanism during times of distress."

Saint Emma of Gurk

980-1045

Feast day: June 27

Patronage: invoked during childbirth and against diseases of the eye

Saint Emma, a noblewoman, also known as Hemma, was a relative of Emperor St. Henry II. She was raised at Henry's court by St. Cunegund, and according to legend was married to Landgrave William of Friesach. Their two children were murdered during an uprising of mines owned by William. Grief-stricken, he made a pilgrimage to Rome and died on the way back. Emma then decided to devote her life to God. She gave liberally to the poor, founded several religious houses and a double monastery at Gurk, Austria.

The people who walked in darkness, have seen a great light; those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.

Matthew 5:16

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

How do you make sense of horrific ruthless suffering?

The Cross. Throughout the Old Testament you see these cries to God asking why suffering is permitted, both in general and in specific instances. For instance, in Habakkuk we read: O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? The same sentiment can be seen in many instances by the Psalmist and then we have the entire book of Job wrestling with the question through various means.

The answer comes by way of the Crucifixion. God Himself enters creation and does something considered scandalous to the Jews and folly to the Gentiles. The innocent, spotless Lamb suffers unjustly. Now this is the great mystery come to fruition. People tend to argue from providence wherein God brings a greater good out of any evil. And that is true, certainly, but this argument is incomplete without the view of Golgotha. The death of the Son of Man shows us that the pain and suffering of this world is not alien to the Divine Mind but becomes, as it were, inscribed on the heart of salvation history itself. That the suffering of this world, in a mystical way, can be united to the suffering of the God-Man on the Cross and it can be truly meritorious for us in the hope of the Heavenly Jerusalem for all eternity.

I’ve heard that the closer you get to your goal weight, the less supportive people will be, but I have to admit, I didn’t think this would apply to my mother and sister.

From my sister saying that I’m clearly a healthy weight and losing more would be crazy (my BMI is 26 atm, I’m not even at 25), to my mother saying, “You must remember, you’re a mom of two!” as if you’re not allowed to work on and want to look good just because you have kids. It’s just all so strange.
