my family

[merryt45]

Please pray for my husband and family, after 29 yrs I have returned to my Catholic faith after having been a very devout nondenominational christian. Needless to say this is confusing for my husband and children, some of whom are married with children of their own. I was widowed 20 yrs ago with 3 children and married my husband now, he was divorced, not his choice, his wife left him for another man. He waited for 4 yrs and finally divorced. I met him 7yrs after the fact and he has helped me raise the 3 children I had with my first husband and we also have an almost 15 yr old son together. My husband and his ex wife were not christians when they married nor were either of them catholic, my husband converted to christianity shortly before his first wife of 5 yrs left him. We have been married 17 yrs. My situation is complex in that while my husband has no objection to my converting back to catholoiscm he is totally uninterested. Compounded to this because of his first marriage I am unable to recieve the eucharist that I now know to be the body soul and divinity of my Lord Jesus. This has all happened with a speed that is breathtaking and I do not want to allienate my husband to the church by even suggesting that he seek an annulement to his first marriage. Please pray for us. The head Pastor at the church I have been attending is looking further into the complex issues at hand but from what I understand I will be unalble to recieve communion unless my husband seeks an annulment. Right now it is almost an agony for me to attend mass and not be able to recieve the Lords supper. This is all so confusing to me as God has always been so close and dear to my heart and to my husbands and it was our understanding that a marriage was made void when adultery without repentance was the reason for the divorce. Please keep us in your prayers, the ideal situation would be that the first marriage would be canceled out by our christian marriage and hopefully the Lord could show my husband what his will for him is as the spiritual head of our family. Thank you Mary

Dear Lord,
I pray for your voice of wisdom to surround this family. I pray for her husband’s eyes to be opened, his heart to be receptive, and his ears to receive. Lord, we ask you to be in the midst of all this and to comfort Mary’s heart. Lead her, guide her and keep her close to your loving heart.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen.

I will pray for you. But be at peace that God has led you this far and will continue to do so. He knows your desire to receive the Eucharist. He loves you for it, and also for your willingness to obey the Church by not receiving it. Take things one step at a time, stay in prayer, and try not to worry. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your husband. Pray for your spiritual director, that he will know the mind of Christ on this issue. God can do abundantly above all we ask or think. Don’t despair when things seem to be going the wrong way. God is guiding you along.
God bless you.

Just want to thank you for praying for me as a sister in Christ, how good it was to look and see that there is much community in the church. Today I watched the Pope on EWTN pray the mass and then bless the community of Rome, it was called “Corpus Christi” I had to google it to completely understand, how breathtakingly beautiful, it made me cry. I am sure that people of all christian faiths are touched by such a scene as that! It reminded me of God touching the earth, letting all of us feel the breath of his great love. How blessed I am to be called back into the church!! Thank you bless you and all of your household, thank you for your wise counsel to me!!

Thank you Gabriel!! Is that really your name cause mine is Mary, how funny would that be!! I have just begun to pray the Rosary, I’m so blessed and God is showing me so much that my head is spinning. It took me awhile to actually ask Mary to pray for me because I’ve always been taught that this is not acceptable, so after much study and prayer I cried and told the Lord that I hoped I wasn’t offending him. This is my request of her on my behalf to our Lord and Saviour, that my husband’s eyes will be opened that he will long for the Lord like he never has imagined. I now pray the Rosary everyday, what a blessing, and how it must break the Lord’s heart to see his children divided without the “fullness of faith” I now understand and still am learning. May the Lord bless you for your kindness, may he give you great favor!!! Thank you brother Gabe, love your sister in christ Mary

For your family and you:

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,
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hello Mary!
No my name isn’t really Gabriel (That would be funny in this circumstance ). I’m glad to hear that you are praying the rosary daily. There is no better way to follow Our Lord then to meditate on his life and passion through the heart of His mother.

St Monica is another good role model for someone in your situation. Eventually her husband and her son St. Augustine came around and converted but it took many years and many prayers.

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

(YOUR PERSONAL INTENTION HERE - Mary & her family)

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
