I
don't even know what to say, my girls are everything to me, they
always have been. My 22 year old daughter Ashley is a master
manipulator. She says what you need to hear to let her do what she
wants...and right now what she wants is to stick a needle in her arm.
I got a call not long ago that she weighs 84 lbs. I'm so scared. I
stopped talking to her on the phone because it hurts when she lies
and I know it. Just this weekend I got four texts and messages that
she was calling everybody begging for pain pills. I don't know what
else to do. I don't want to bury my baby!!

Prayer
to Saint Maximilian Kolbe (Patron Saint Against Drug Addiction)
God
of mercy, we bless You in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who
ministered to all who come to Him. Give Your strength to Ashley, Your
servant, bound by the chains of addiction. Enfold her in Your love
and restore her to the freedom of God's children. Lord, look with
compassion on all those who have lost their health and freedom.
Restore to them the assurance of Your unfailing mercy, and strengthen
them in the work of recovery. To those who care for them, grant
patient understanding and a love that perseveres. We ask this through
Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Saint
Maximilian Maria Kolbe, your life of love and labor for souls was
sacrificed amid the horrors of a concentration camp and hastened to
its end by an injection of a deadly drug.
Look
with compassion upon Ashley who is now entrapped in addiction to
drugs and whom we now recommend to your powerful intercession.
Having
offered your own life to preserve that of a family man, we turn to
you with trust, confident that you will understand and help.
Obtain
for us the grace never to withhold our love and understanding, nor to
fail in persevering prayer that the enslaving bonds of addiction may
be broken and that full health and freedom may be restored to her
whom we love.
We
will never cease to be grateful to God who has helped us and heard
your prayer for us. Amen.
