I am a choleric-melancholic temperament. Since becoming a wife and mother and tapping into my more relational (& creative) melancholic side, my main struggle has become not letting my other melancholic tendencies (to anxiety, scrupulosity, even depression at times) dominate my personality. I want to be a joyful Christian. I choose to be a joyful Christian. Christ, please give me the grace I need to really believe you have already won the Battle, and to truly live your Resurrection. Why do I think I have to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders when you already carried the Cross? Help me to carry only the yoke you have chosen for me in your great love.
Jesus, I trust in you!
Because you have always loved me- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because you protected me in my mother's womb- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because you gave me such a mother- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because of all I've learned due to my father- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because of the communities you placed me in that taught and formed me- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because of the dreams you've fulfilled- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because of the love you've given my husband and I for each other- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because of the growth we've experienced together- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because of the miracle of life from our union- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because you teach me through my children- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because of meetings and connections only you can arrange- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because of the great plans you have for us- Jesus, I trust in you.
Because YOU ARE- Jesus, I trust in you.
Glory be to you Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. (3x)
