I've been off-and-on with them, usually when I perceive the need. Haven't used them long enough to really say one way or another. |

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable,
most incomprehensible and ineffable Name of God
be forever praised, blessed, loved, adored
and glorified in Heaven, on earth,
and under the earth,
by all the creatures of God,
and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Amen.

From the web log "OCPD -- Scattered Thoughts From The Front Lines", here is an article relating to the tragedy down in Florida that may have a connection to this cursed Disorder: http://perfectlyawfulusa.blogspot.fr/2012/03/trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-mental.html |

The closest book I found to my situation is Introduction to the Devout Life. But even then, written as it was all those centuries ago, it doesn't relate to or touch on folks like me with this or other psychological illnesses. It seems to me that most of the writings of the saints never touch on the situations of people with psychological maladies, like mine or others out there.
I read this a few days ago and thought of you: Are there, however, any signs of predestination such as to give one a sort of moral certainty of perseverance? The Fathers, especially John Chrysostom, Augustine, Gregory the Great, Bernard, and Anselm, according to certain statements of Holy Scripture, pointed out several signs of predestination often enumerated by the theologians as follows: (1) a good life; (2) the testimony of a conscience that is free from serious sins and prepared rather to die than offend God grievously; (3) patience in adversities endured for the love of God; (4) readiness to hear the word of God; (5) compassion for the poor; (6) love of one's enemies; (7) humility; ( 8 ) a special devotion to the Blessed virgin whom we ask every day to pray for us at the hour of our death.
Among these signs, certain ones, such as Christian patience in adversity, are proof that the inequality of natural conditions is at times more than compensated by divine grace. This is borne out by the beatitudes as recorded in the Gospel: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, the meek, they that mourn, they that hunger and thirst after justice, the merciful, the clean of heart, the peacemakers, they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” These are the predestined. St. Thomas points out especially in his teaching that to bear patiently a heavy cross and for a long time is a sign of predestination.

I n N omine P atris, E t F ilii, E t S piritus S ancti "The practice of the Church has always been the same, as is shown by the unanimous teaching of the Fathers, who were wont to hold as outside Catholic communion, and alien to the Church, whoever would recede in the least degree from any point of doctrine proposed by her authoritative magisterium" (Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, no. 9, June 29, 1896). “Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time” (2 Peter 1:10).

Interesting comment from the blog writer of the last link I posted in light of the Zimmerman tragedy:
"I am hoping all the details come out on the Martin/Zimmerman mess. Any way we look at it, it's tragic, but one thing is clear, NOBODY makes the best decisions when they are in panic mode. And people with OCPD, alas, are in panic mode much of the time."

Hail Gilbert, has a priest been able to help you with the OCPD, or is it strictly a job for the doctors?

Unfortunately, most priests and most therapists aren't trained to deal with OCPD. Many confuse it with it's "cousin" Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or OCD. I had to find this out by many years of reading up on the Disorder, much of it on the Internet. |
