Please pray for my Aunt and my Cousin. They are lapsed Catholics and are really in need of guidance. An recent encounter has left both of them completely at odds with my mother and I. They hate us because of something that wasn’t even our fault. Please please keep them in your prayers. I’ve tried for years to get my cousin to stop going down the path she’s on, but all she says is “stay out of my business”. she’s destroying her life, and her mother can’t even see it, always taking her side

Families are certainly under attack these days. You must first forgive them, then start praying for them daily. You don’t need to talk to them about what they are doing…just keep praying and showing His love. It is very hard to do, but truely the there is.

Lord God, look kindly upon this family and bring healing between all involved. Thank you dear and precious Jesus.
Amen.

Thank you for your support. I agree, that certainly is difficult to do. I haven’t spoken to either of them in a week, which is huge for my family. This is causing my so much stress. I hate having people mad at me, even if it’s for something I didn’t do. It it very difficult to pray for someone who has caused you so much pain, but I agree, it is very necessary. I’m still working on the forgiving stage. I truly just want to give in to my emotions and stay mad, but I know that’s not what god would want. I try to pray for them daily. Thank you for your prayers as well
 
Father help us to recover where injury goes beyond ordinary forgiveness and our hearts are in some way crushed, and our lives changed and devalued. Help us to find a way to forgive when we cannot smile or encounter the offending person with warmth because they have destroyed something in us.

Father please help us to forgive when we cannot forgive…and we cannot forgive because they do not understand how badly they have hurt us, and do not seek in any real way to acknowledge or try to heal the hurt they imposed on us. And even when we tried to tell them from the bottom of our heart but they would not listen, please help us to forgive.

Father help us to forgive when those who hurt our lives do not even remember how badly they have wounded us, and go on with their lives without concern, while we remain still held in some kind of time capsule with the consequences of their unfeeling and uncaring and attack.

Father, help us to forgive when those who wounded us by ignoring our needs and requests, yet who desire us to ignore their offence, and expect us to respond to their hints or manipulations while they make no concessions or apologies.

Help us to forgive those who impose their own conditions and rules upon us, without respecting that our hurt is real and radical, while they make us feel that they only desire our capitulation without justice, apology, or generosity from them.

Father please free us, free me, in forgiveness that comes from Your Son, innocent, and murdered, but forgiving.
 
Loving God please draw aunt and cousin into Your merciful love.
Please help them to live their lives in love and kindness sprung from Your merciful love.

For your intentions…

Heavenly Father,
you have given us the model of life
in the Holy Family of Nazareth.
Help us, O Loving Father,
to make our family another Nazareth
where love, peace and joy reign.
May it be deeply contemplative,
intensely eucharistic,
revived with joy.

Help us to stay together in joy
and sorrow in family prayer.
Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our families,
especially in their distressing disguise.
May the eucharistic heart of Jesus
make our hearts humble like his
and help us to carry out our family duties
in a holy way.
May we love one another
as God loves each one of us,
more and more each day,
and forgive each other’s faults
as you forgive our sins.
Help us, O Loving Father,
to take whatever you give
and give whatever you take with a big smile.

Immaculate Heart of Mary,
cause of our joy, pray for us.

St. Joseph, pray for us.

Holy Guardian Angels,
be always with us,
guide and protect us.
Amen
