Nine months ago today my son, Alex, died. My firstborn child. He was only 32. 💔😔 I have so much on my heart. Maybe I’ll post more later. In your charity please pray for his soul.

qui vocávit te.+
May Christ who called you, receive you.

I’d like to ask for one more prayer for my son, Alex. Many of you know he became very sick in March and he died in May. It’s only been 7 months, so this whole Christmas season has been hard. Today is the day he was born. He would be 33 today. God bless you in your charity. 🙏😢

Prayers for the soul of my son would be most appreciated. Sadly, my beautiful son passed away two weeks ago after so much suffering and a long hospital stay. Prayer needed for our family as well. It’s been an unbearable heartbreak and sorrow for us. 💔😭🙏

Tomorrow marks 6 months from the day that my son died. My oldest child, Alex, died on May 23. How cruel is time that Thanksgiving would fall on November 23. I saw that in the calendar a couple months ago and shook my head.😞Time passes on when it feels like everything should’ve..

Guys, I’m not doing well. Twitter seems like strangers on a plane. I don’t know most of you, so it feels ok to open my heart. I know I’m often sharing about my son who died on May 23rd but it is ALL encompassing rn. It doesn’t get any easier. It gets harder as each day goes by.

Yesterday marked 3 months since my beautiful son, Alex, died. Only 32, he was the oldest of five. Time makes no sense now. Feels like yesterday when we held his hand and prayed while he was still with us. My heart will never be the same.💔 Sucípiat te Christus, qui vocavit te.🙏

I almost didn’t go to confession today. I really felt the need to go, but was still working out some things in my heart and didn’t feel ready or worthy. My 40 min car ride to church helped. And I decided to just go bc I was feeling so troubled. I told the priest I wasn’t

I would be so grateful if you can offer short prayer for me. I have to do something particularly difficult later this morning and I need some spiritual help. An Ave, or short ejaculatory prayer to good St Joseph or whatever prayer you like best. I will also be praying for you. 🙏

I may not make it to Mass. Feeling discouraged, spiritually poor. Weighed down w some difficult emotions, struggles against habitual sins, so hard to turn away from. Also having some foot pain - ligament vs bone spur so it’s hard to walk. Would be grateful for any prayers. 😢😢😢

If you don’t know your prayers in Latin, I encourage you to begin today. It’s a beautiful language and is the ancient and sacred language of the Church. If you need one more reason: It was one of 3 languages written on the cross at Jesus’ crucifixion.

I’ve lost my favorite rosary. Last time I remember seeing it was at the cemetery on Sunday. Thought it was here at home somewhere or in my car but I haven’t found it. 😢 If you can offer a prayer on my behalf to St Anthony, I’d be so grateful.

Today after Mass I added a few things where my son lay. This is only temporary. We couldn’t bear seeing where our son lay with no cross and no indication of how much he is loved and how much we miss him. His headstone likely to be delayed 6 months - 1 year. 😢

Today was a really sad day. I tried to keep it at bay and did pretty well this morning having spent a lot of time in prayer and reading some psalms. I started to write about what is on my heart from a year ago today, but it was overwhelmingly sad, so I deleted it. Prayers plz.💔

I don’t understand why non-Catholics would do this. Why visit a Catholic Church? And why do so wearing a shirt like this? What am I missing or is this a direct slam against Holy Mother Church?
We’re celebrating Reformation Day 506 in Rome, Italy. We decided to wear our Luther shirts for the occasion. (St Peter’s Basilica).

When my son died, one of my BIL immediately called him “St Alexander.” I came down firmly on that and corrected him saying my son was most likely in purgatory and not a saint. Everyone in my family now knows I’m the first to passionately share what our faith teaches.. *a long🧵
No need for community notes on this...it's too uncomfortably true.

Isn’t this lovely? I found it in an antique shop a couple of years ago. Don’t know how old it is but it’s stamped ROMA on back. It’s the only triptych I have, but I hope to own more sometime. I guess it’s not really a triptych since it only has one image. 🤔

This is the first year I don’t feel like celebrating. I have mixed feelings as 2023 ends and 2024 is about to begin. So much has happened this past year. So much pain and the greatest loss ever of losing a child. It’s still hard to believe all that happened. But God is with me.

Last year for Mother’s Day, all I wanted was for my son to still be alive. God granted me that grace. I’m not wanting to celebrate this year. It’s just too sad being my first Mother’s day without him. He always bought me a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and signed the card..

Having attended NO all of my life until just 2 years ago, I’m always so in awe with the beauty and magnificence of the TLM. All for God’s glory. Today the priest’s chasuble was gorgeous, a rich deep green with a beautiful ornate cross. Ordinary time green never looked this good.

Build home chapels! For personal prayer and open your home to good traditional priests to offer the TLM. Invite all the rigid traditionalists you can manage to squeeze into every nook and cranny, and follow this up with a huge potluck dinner. It’ll be great.

I’d like to ask for one more prayer for my son, Alex. Many of you know he became very sick in March and he died in May. It’s only been 7 months, so this whole Christmas season has been hard. Today is the day he was born. He would be 33 today. God bless you in your charity. 🙏😢
