Please pray for the restoration of my marriage. My wife has stated that she no longer wants to be married to me. We have been married for 23 years and have two children, ( boy age 13 and daughter age 11). They are both angry and hurt. I now realize that I did not properly cherish or validate my wife’s heart as a loving husband should have. I thought logically, while she thought relationship wise. I honestly did not hear, I thought she was mad all the time. Please pray that her heart softens, and that God continues to change me into the father and husband that my family needs and deserves. Pray for wife’s soul, that she does not turn away from God and become bitter, which will affect everyone in her life. Pray that with all the effort we are going through for divorcing that if it was spent on the marriage it could be saved. I read that everyone suffers economically afterward, and the children carry these scars into their adult hood and it affects their decision making process. Let us not let the evil one destroy another family. Please help me.
 
Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their assistance.

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.

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.

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.
 
Lord, please send powerful angels to protect this family and marriage from the arrows of the Evil One. See that their hearts be blessed with many graces, that no sin of the tongue ever be heard amongst them. See that the welfare of the children be prioritized, even if it require great humility from the parents. Soften any hardness of heart that is an obstacle to this reconciliation. Draw this family through this matter heroically in accord with the Father’s merciful will. Preserve them on the road to the eternal garden of joy and grant them the will to accept that road. See that true love always abound in this family. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.
 
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins my Mother;
to thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of thy Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
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 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.
 
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”
PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7

"Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
"Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
EPHESIANS 6:10-18

:highprayer:

Lord, Jesus, wtm’s family needs your help today. They need your peace and
tranquility, an end to discord. Give them strength and compassion to
understand each other, and the trust and patience they need to live
peacefully together. Grant that through the intercession of Your mother,
Mary, and St. Joseph, their family too may become a holy family, a
family that works together as one, a family that embraces peace and
love, a family whose members are dedicated to each other and to You.
Amen

Many married men have to me that making a Cursillo retreat was an immense help in helping them understand themselves better; all too frequently men are actively discouraged from gaining the skills necessary to help them fulfill their vocations as husband's and fathers. On a CA broadcast Patrick C. suggested a caller consult the Alexander House website - thealexanderhouse.org.
 
Prayers said for you and your family.

Family Life’s “Weekend to Remember” retreats have helped many as well. Even those that are on their last legs.
 
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.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular wtm’s marriage, and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.
 
Prayer to Restore Marriage

Heavenly Father, I come before you today with a heavy heart; my marriage is in trouble, and I need your help. Make changes in my spouse’s heart. Make us compatible again, and bring us closer together. Fill us with your love and give us the strength to love one another, care for one another, and fulfill your destiny for us.

Show us the harm caused by careless words, and the pain caused by emotional distance. Bring us together, like we once were. Show us how to love one another again.

Heal the division between us. Make us one again.

In your name I pray, Amen.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, make all families holy.
