First, I would appreciate prayers for my mother, who, after 20 years of not attending any church, has reconciled with the Church and has been going to Mass. I’d like to think the Confirmation of my husband and myself this Easter was inspiring to her, but whatever her reason may be, my heart is joyous she has returned to the Faith. She is currently trying to get my father to start going again and I’d also appreciate prayers for him to have his heart return to the Church.

Second, I’d appreciate prayers for my mother-in-law who seems to have lost all Faith in our Lord. She was never Catholic (always said she was spiritual), but she did come to Mass for the baptism of our children. My husband was giving her a quick rundown on Mass and she said “as long as I don’t have to kneel.” Which really struck me and made my heart ache for her. She lost a son to suicide, and ever since then she has turned bitter on the subject of God. Please pray that her heart will find healing and peace and accept The Lord back into her life. Of course any prayers for the soul of my brother-in-law, who died almost 6 years ago, would be wonderful.

Thank you.
 
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.

Happy for your full communion into the Church - Very sad about your mother-in-laws son and how it hardened her heart. Praying for her conversion:

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.
 
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.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

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
 
Abrigham - Your family and yourself are in my prayers.

[My family, like yours and all too many others also have ‘troublesome’ spiritual issues.]

I pray for your intentions! :gopray:

Pater noster qui es in caelis:
sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;
adveniat Regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem;
sed libera nos a Malo. Amen
