I am I love with a person who is not available. He has chosen his path and it will not cross mine at all. I am older and live alone. I have never married nor have I heard a man tell me that he loves me in a romantic way. I feel very blessed and my life is great, but I still do not want to be alone at my age.
Please pray for my selfish desires. I have asked the Lord to erase my desire and thoughts of this man. It worked for a while, but his memory is still there. He really is a great friend and is everything that I would like as life long partner (Catholic, kind, faith filled, funny, selfless etc. etc.)

He also cold all the time wearing his winter coat in the house. Now he is complaining of constant pain in his right shoulder. We are going to the Dr. today. I hope they can give him a diagnosis. Thank you for your prayers always!

I ask for support in not shirking my responsibilities — to know myself better and to trust in God's love for me, so that I won’t be tempted to shirk responsibilities.
Note: A big thank you to Fr. Paul Sheller for today’s beautiful and insightful reflection. God bless
