My Protectress
By Alexandrina Society Founder – Francis Reynolds
Alexandrina, as an unworthy sinner I ask you
To place me on a path of salvation,
To save my soul and help with your mission
Of saving other souls for God.
To place me on a path of salvation,
To save my soul and help with your mission
Of saving other souls for God.
I implore you to plead for me
As I beg the grace to be holy,
To be pure, to be kind and to do
Only what is pleasing to God.
As I beg the grace to be holy,
To be pure, to be kind and to do
Only what is pleasing to God.
Then God will dwell in me and His blood
Will flow in my veins with my blood
And His Flesh will be with my flesh
And I will be with Jesus forever.
Will flow in my veins with my blood
And His Flesh will be with my flesh
And I will be with Jesus forever.
Oh, sweet and gentle Alexandrina, God gave
You power equal to that of the all-powerful and
Appointed you protectress of mankind. I ask you
To intercede for me in my time of need and protect
Me spiritually, physically and mentally through this
day/night through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen

The Apostolate of Hannah's Tears 
I feel that I can never get to Heaven partly because of my severe mental illnesses. When bad things are happening and I’m having a meltdown- or even just in daily life, I am full of rebellions and hatred. That’s my natural state and I can’t help it. When I can do a sacrifice or fasting, I refuse. I don’t understand that this universe of God is so horrific, and I don’t like God
Every morning I wake up thinking I’m going to hell or a severe, long purgatory. When things go well, I think somehow maybe I made a pact with the devil
My book I’m writing. If it is published and a success, I think “What does it profit a man who gains the whole world but loses his soul ?” I must be going to a terrible place, because, why else would God let the Holy Spirit make that thought come- every.single.day. If my soul is okay, THAT GOD WILL INTERVENE and make me absolutely sure everything is well. That it will finally be firm, this joy, with however I live my life, firm and unchanging. For cure for my mental illness and trouble with people. And never doubt that God is pleased with me, however I live my life. Please , I don’t/CAN’T live a life of heroic virtue. I have no interest in that. I have a hard time with Ten Commandments- why does it all have to be taken so literally ?!

Sharon, we must take everything from God literally because HE (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is ALL LOVE. Seek HIM in the Most Blessed Sacrament. He will be your strength no matter what you are suffering or the cross in your life.
