Our Lady of Fatima please continue to be with Tom in his everyday life and bless his Mother (Teresa)
 
Continuing to keep you and Tom in my daily prayers, Teresa; May the Lord direct the events in Tom’s life and protect him from all harm:

*Merciful Jesus, we trust in You!

We take refuge under thy protection,
O holy Mother of God;
despise not our prayers for Tom and Teresa
in their necessities,
but ever deliver them from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.*
(Adapted from the Sub Tuum prayer to Our Lady.)
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.



Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
"The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” Num 6:24-26

Continued daily prayers.
 
Mother Mary, St. Joseph, St. Anne, St. Monica, please help Tom. Please ask our Lord to pour out grace upon this situation, to heal him of these afflictions and fill him with peace and joy. Please guide his parents to deal with him in exactly the way that helps him to make progress. Amen.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, oh Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

St. Michael the archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray.
And do thou oh Prince of the heavenly host.
By the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen

Father, I pray you will touch dear Teresa with the strength and guidance she needs to deal with this situation. Give her the words that will make a difference to her son. I pray that You will grant her the grace of inner Peace. Give her the patience she needs to cope with the burdens and anxieties of her life, and to be the kind of mother to Tom that he needs.
As You commanded the storm winds at sea to be calm, command the storms in Tom’s life to be calmed. Protect this young man, in spite of himself. And Lord, I pray for a miracle for Tom, that he will look to the Risen Christ for direction. Lord, there is nothing too hard for You. I pray for this hurting family.

Teresa,
Continued prayers for you and for your son, Tom. I pray that his eyes are opened to God’s plan for his life. I pray that God blesses you with some small consolation today that your prayers are being heard. God wants Tom to be the best version of himself even more than you do. I pray that Tom’s heart is softened to God’s will and his ears are opened to God’s voice. You planted seeds in Tom and I pray that God sends someone into his life to water them. Blessings to you today.

I am so desperately worried for my youngest son.He is in a lot of trouble and will be facing court proceedings in July,he may well be facing a custodial sentence. He has two young children one of 9months and the other of 2yrs.He and the mother of the children broke up earlier this year.He has gotten drunk and gotten into fights.He has been arrested and been to court previously.Currently he is on probation for his last offence.We have tried so hard to help him and constantly pick up the peices to get his life back on track.He has attidue and anger issues and alcohol makes him awful.He began drinking alcohol because he suffers terribly with anxiety/panic attacks and it “helped him relax”!This last episode we let him come home again to live, as lterally he has nowhere to go. I have prayed for so long that he would not go to prison but now I fear for his safety and maybe prison might be safest option for him. I am worried sick he will end up dead or in prison.He came back only on Friday on strict rules of no alcohol whatsoever and no going out anywhere.That lasted two days.There was another upsetting session this evening where my son disobeyed me and went out to get involved in a neighbour who was arguing with his partner…I specifically told him not to get involved particularly as he is already in serious trouble with the police.He was rude and disrespectful to me and confrontational with my husband.In the end he left saying this is the last time you will see me…took a bag of clothes and left. I am very upset as I write this and would really appreciate any prayers for my son to keep him safe and for God to guide him to the right path and that he will open his heart and mind to Gods will.

Thankyou and God bless each of you

Lord please hear my prayers for my son.Lord I no not what to ask for any longer except please keep him safe and guide him.You know my greatest fears Lord and I ask You would place Your healing hand upon this entire situation to bring my son safely through this part of his life to reach maturity safely and be a mature and responsible adult and father to his children.I pray You will keep him safe from harm Lord.He is making poor choices continually please guide him to open his heart and mind to Your will.Lord I place all my trust in You. Thankyou Lord for always heairng and answering my prayers.Amen

I have walked this same very painful path with my oldest son, but he has no children. It has been a tiring and trying 5 years and can relate to the same heartache that you are going thru. Getting arrested and being placed on probation were actually a miracle in disguise. It has taken countless therapy, $$$money which we are drained (pray I get this part time job I just applied for) being placed on house arrest and many trips into court for violating probation. This child has drained every ounce of my strength and the only thing that has kept me from sinking is Jesus. I have been screamed at the same way you have and have had to call the police on my own child for fear of my own life. Drugs and alcohol when combined with other disorders do not mix well and the devil knows this and delights in tripping up all those who fall for his lies. I did seek counseling on how to deal with him and also did alot of reading on this website which gave a lot of helpful advice:

And prayer, more prayers and then some more prayers. I must have covered my son in prayer even while I was sleeping!

I am praying for you and your family and for God to reveal Himself to your son, that your son’s heart and mind be open to receiving God’s grace so that the healing process may begin. In Jesus’ name I pray thru Mary. Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.
