Saint Augustine and Saint Monica please help teresa with Tom. Please that Tom make an attempt to turn his life for the better. That the court gives Tom a chance
 
Dear Lord please bless and sustain Teresa through this time and please instill in Tom’s life a great need to know Your love and friendship.

Holy Mary, full of the presence of God during your life you accepted with great humility the Holy Will of the Father and the legacy of your Son Our Lord Jesus Christ. Evil never dared to entangle you with its confusion.
Since then you have interceded for all of our difficulties. With all simplicity and patience you have given us examples on how to untangle the knots in our complicated lives. By being our Mother forever, you arrange and make clear the path that unites us to Our Lord.
Holy Mary, Mother of God and ours, with your maternal heart untie the knots that upset our lives. We ask you to receive in your hands

Tom and Teresa

and deliver us from the chains and confusions that have us restrained.
Blessed Virgin Mary, through your grace, your intercession and by your example, deliver us from evil and untie the knots that keep us from uniting with God, so that once free of every confusion and error, we may find Him in all things, have Him in our hearts and serve him always in our brothers and sisters.
Mother of Good Counsel pray for us .
Amen
 
Lord thankyou for hearing all our prayers for Tom.I continue to pray that he will be guided by You and change his attitude about his life get a job and become a mature responsible adult.He has so many wonderful qualities but he is so caught up in this young frame of mind of irresponsibility. I pray he will become the wonderful young man I know he can be.I pray that Your will be done for him.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
 
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.

 
Continuing to include Teresa and Tom in my daily prayer intentions:

Jesus, we trust in You!

We take refuge under thy protection,
O holy Mother of God;
despise not our prayers for Teresa and Tom
in their necessities,
but deliver them always from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin. 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.

O Holy Patroness of those in need, St. Rita, because thy pleadings before thy Divine Lord are almost irresistible, and because, thou hast been lavish in the granting of favors, thou hast been called the Advocate of the Hopeless and even of the Impossible. St. Rita, so humble, so pure, so mortified, so patient and of such compassionate love for thy Crucified Jesus, thou couldst obtain from Him whatsoever thou askest especially:

a resolution to all problems in Teresa’s family with renewed peace for all

Because of your power, all confidently have recourse to thee, expecting, if not always relief, at least comfort. Be propitious to our petition, showing thy power with God on behalf of thy suppliant. Be lavish to us, as thou hast been in so many wonderful cases, for the greater glory of God, for the spreading of thine own devotion, and for the consolation of those who trust in thee. We promise, if our petition is granted, to glorify thee by making known thy favor, to bless and sing thy praises forever. Amen.

St. Rita of Cascia, pray for us!
 
My God, I believe most firmly that you watch over all who hope in you, and that we can want for nothing when we rely upon you in all things. Therefore I am resolved for the future… to cast all my cares upon you…

People may deprive me of worldly goods and status. Sickness may take from me my strength and the means of serving you. I may even jeopardize our relationship by sin, but my trust shall never leave me. I will preserve it to the last moment of my life, and the powers of hell shall seek in vain to grab it from me.

Let others seek happiness in their wealth and in their talents. Let them trust in the purity of their lives, the severity of their mortifications, in the number of their good works, the enthusiasm of their prayers, as for me, my Rock and my Refuge, my confidence in you fills me with hope.

For you, my Divine Protector, alone have settled me in hope. “This confidence can never be vain. No one, who has hoped in God, has ever been confounded.”

I am assured, therefore, of my eternal happiness, for I firmly hope in it and all my hope is in you. “In you, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”

I know too well that I am weak and changeable. I know the power of temptation against the strongest virtue. I have seen stars fall and foundations of my world crack; there things do not alarm me.

While I hope in you, I am sheltered from all misfortune, and I am sure that my trust shall endure, for I rely upon you to sustain my unfailing hope.

Finally, I know that my confidence cannot exceed your generosity, and that I shall never received less than I have hoped from you.

Therefore I hoped that you will sustain me against my evil inclinations, that you will protect me against the deceitful attacks of the evil one, and that you will cause my weakness to triumph over every hostile force. I hope that you will never cease to love me and that I shall love you unceasingly.

“In you, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”

As today is the court date, I ask you Lord, to bless our friend Teresa as she struggles with doing the right thing for her son. Help her to let go where she needs to and trust in Your ways. Relieve her of any guilt she is feeling about her son’s situation and help her realize that he is responsible for his own actions even when he tries to involve them in the drama of the life he chooses.

Come into Tom’s heart Lord, that he will free his parents of feeling they have to be there to correct his mistakes. Give him an awakening to the pain he is causing them by his continued bad choices, an awakening that will bring genuine and lasting change in his life, and not lip service to manipulate them for his own good.

Help Tom to move toward the life You will for him,** however he has to get there**. I also ask that you keep Teresa and her husband united in all decisions concerning Tom so that he is not a cause of disagreement or frustration for them. I ask this through the intercession of Your Most Holy Mother, Mary.
 
I love You dear Lord and my God my love for You above all things!

THANKYOU Lord for guiding the decision makers today and for the outcome of today’s sentencing at court.I am truly grateful Lord for You hearing and answering all our prayers.I am grateful Lord that You brought me such wonderful prayer partners to help me through this very worrying time in my life. I thankyou Lord from the bottom of my heart Amen

Today my son was fined and given a community service work order of 150hrs.He also has a 1year probation whereby he will attend the probation service each week and they will help him with alcohol counselling and training to get a job! The Magistrates deliberated for quite some time and it was nerve wracking for a while.When they came back with their decision they told Tom that they were impressed with his progress so far in turning his life around…however this was his last chance! I burst into tears of joy as I was terrified he would go to prison. The Lord works in mysterious and wonderful ways. His ex came to court too (in fact she has been staying with us since Monday) and they have been getting along very well.

My friends I am so grateful to each and every one of you for every single prayer and thought you have given to Tom and my family.I sincerely appreciate every one of you.You all remain in my daily prayers each day for yoru own intentions.I could not have gotten through this very difficult time without yoru love support and prayers.
May God bless you

Lord thankyou for hearing all our prayers for Tom.I continue to pray that he will be guided by You and change his attitude about his life get a job and become a mature responsible adult.He has so many wonderful qualities but he is so caught up in this young frame of mind of irresponsibility.

PRAYER TO ST. MONICA

Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear my plea for

(Mention your intention here.)

and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

Amen.
 
Thank you Lord, for answering Teresa’s prayers for her son. Help him keep on the right track so that he can turn his life around once and for all. Bless Teresa for her mother’s love,toward her son, and shower her with peace and happiness. Give her a break from all the stress and worry that she has been going through. I ask this through the intercession of Your Most Holy Mother, Mary.
