#136768 - 07/08/06 06:15 PM For a depressed young man
Alice Moderator Member Registered: 01/12/03 Posts: 9757 Loc: USA	Dear Friends, In your great charity, would you please lift up in prayer a long time church friend of my son's ( and the son of long time friends of ours from our previous parish). His name is Chrysostomos (we just call him Chris), he is 22, and he is falling into a deeper and deeper depression, apathy, spaciness, and agoraphobia. He is not working, has dropped out of school and does not have the confidence or desire to go back. He has lost most of his friends, and he is getting to the point where he no longer wants to even be with, or to go out with his two remaining and oldest friends, one of which is my son. To make things worse, his younger sister is excelling in everything she does, and attends the incredibly competitive and difficult Columbia University in NYC. Thank you. In Christ, Alice

Michael B Member Registered: 11/21/03 Posts: 938 Loc: Tampa Bay, FL	May all the saints intercede for Chrysostomos to be blessed and granted a renewed outlook on life, love, friendship and kindness. Please let him see the good in others, and assist him in finding his inner peace to grow as Our Lord sees fit.

Pani Rose Member Registered: 11/06/01 Posts: 10154 Loc: Irondale,AL	Deliver him Lord in the power of your Ressurection! Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen....
