Thank you all who have prayed for my intentions from previous posts. Please pray for me and for all involved in this situation:

My girlfriend, a non-Catholic to whom I have been open about the Catholic faith, answering her questions and instructing her as to the teachings of the Church and to the scriptural evidence for such teachings, was pressed, by her own mother, to defend the Church. My girlfriend has neither experience in apologetics nor debate, so her mom veritably crushed her. My girlfriend stated that she had no objection to the Catholic teachings other than her not understanding fully or being confused about certain topics such as the rather timely Assumption of Mary. Her mom had the opportunity to confront me for four hours last night on the road to a comedian’s show. She did not, but instead confronted her daughter who is not herself a Catholic. Her attack was ended with her mom saying that her daughter (my girlfriend) has been open to Catholic teaching by the virtue of our relationship and that she (her mother) is worried her mother might convert. This statement brought great doubt into my girlfriend’s mind. I have told my girlfriend to let me go to her house with these conditions: If her mother is in a bad mood, let her give her arguments to me, without my response unless a direct question is asked. If she is in a good mood, let us sit down and talk, as I believe her mother has been sorely misinformed.
 
For ZDHayden and his girlfriend, that they might grow in faith, wisdom, and courage, and for his girlfriend’s mother, that she might respect her daughter’s catechesis and herself believe -

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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst 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 our death. 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, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Praying that your girlfriend’s mother will let go of her prejudices and control over her daughter so that she may learn more about the faith that has been handed down to us from Jesus and taught by His apostles…
 
Come Holy Ghost Creator Blessed
and in our souls take up They rest
Come with They grace and Heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which Thou hast made

Jesus, Mary and Joseph assist us now and in our last agony. Amen

We fly unto thy patronage,
O holy Mother of God;
despise not our petitions in our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O Glorious and Blessed Virgin. Amen.

Divine Infant Jesus, let your Truth prevail!
 
O Lord Jesus, gentle and humble of heart,
full of compassion and maker of peace,
you lived in poverty
and suffered persecution for the cause of justice.
You chose the Cross as the path to glory
to show us the way of salvation.
May we receive the word of the Gospel joyfully
and live by your example as heirs
and citizens of your kingdom.
Amen.
 
Holy Mother Mary please bring peace to your children

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 our death.
Amen.
