My beloved husband and I have been married 14 years. I have reconciled to the Church since we married, which he, as a Lutheran, has fully supported, although he does not join with me. I am comfortable with this, and leave it to God.
He was previously married to a pagan woman (a self-avowed, practicing witch, no less) who did many terrible things, stole a great deal of his money, and who was unfortunately, granted overly generous PERMANENT maintenance, although they had no children together.
This marriage has been canonically annulled, allowing me to fully reconcile. We have two beautiful daughters together, and they are Catholic.
After 18 years of divorce from this person, she has dragged my husband into court to fight for money. His income is less than a third of what it was 18 years ago, and we have 2 young children now. She has two grown children from two different men, neither of them my husband, and neither of whom pay her any support, and yet she insists that my husband continue to provide at a level we cannot afford, nor can it be sustained. He has been forced to liquidate many assets, and may well be forced by the court to sell our home in order to meet this obligation. We are fighting to have it reduced, but it does not look promising. Our savings can only last another year, and then we will be completely broke, with four people living only on Social Security Benefits. Legally, she will have the right to sue his estate and heirs for maintenance.
I have managed, through much difficult effort to arrive at the point that I can sincerely pray that this woman receive from God the conversion and many Graces she so obviously needs. I have not managed to be able to pray for her attorney who knows perfectly well and understands clearly what he is doing, and enjoys doing it. I struggle with my anger towards these people and my fear, and the bone deep anguish for my husband. His doctor says this has shortened his life considerably, and gives an official prognosis of perhaps 3 more years of life. He is a broken man.
I am absolutely assured of Eternal Justice and peace, but I am deeply worried about temporal justice.
Please pray for:
J. L. R. that she be granted conversion, graces, and pardon for her sins.
L. J. that he remember that justice and fairness should be his goal, not just winning; and that he be granted a contrite heart.
Judge W. R. that his eyes may be opened to see beyond the lies, deceit and manipulations to arrive at a just and fair conclusion. He has already indicated where his feelings lie, so pray for wisdom and intellect to prevail over pathos.
J. R. that he be granted just and fair relief from excessive burdens, and find God’s assurance of Eternal Justice, and God’s Peace and Comfort.
K. R. that I may be given the strength needed to support my husband in these trials, pray for those who trespass against us, and the will to submit to God’s Divine Will, assured that the care of my family is already granted. I also pray that I can overcome the sin of Anger. I recognize the poison of it, even as I struggle to release it. Please pray also that I may find work to help support my family.
A. J. R. and A. C. R. that their hearts and beauty may not be corrupted by the anger and sin of the adults affecting their lives and futures.
Thank you and God Bless you for your prayers!
All for the Greater Glory of God.
