My In-laws who are in their mid to late 80’s and my family live real close to each other. We are walking distance from each other’s house. Once upon a time the neighborhood was ok to live in. But now the drug dealers and renters are moving in. Police and undercover cops show up in our neighborhood. There are burglary, break ins and theft in the area. In fact some one opened my in laws front gate and went into their garage around midnight about a week ago. Luckily they didn’t take anything and the cars were locked. Their house is by the boulevard and we see police chases and ambulances noises all the time. Plus my in laws can’t live on their own any more. Because they are forgetting to pay their utility bills and are getting piles of junk mail every day and their important bills get mixed up with their junk mail. My mother in law still drives to take my father in law to his doctor appointments. But she and my father in law can’t remember things anymore. Things are getting chaotic. My husband is wonderful and does everything for them including their taxes and making food for them. My kids and I help out too in what ever we can do. It’s time for all of us to move together to a better neighborhood. We want to take care of them during their last years of their lives. We want them to live a worry free life. I am already packing and we are looking for houses. My in laws met with our realtor and my mother in law is on board to move. But my father in law gets mad when we talk about moving or try to help them sort their junk mail. He wants to move to the city he grew up in into a nursing home. It’s a small town and they don’t know anybody there anymore. Plus my husband has a good job and this place is 2 hours away from the cities. My children love spending time with their grandparents and I have a great relationship with them and love them dearly. Sometimes my youngest says when we move into the new place grandpa is going to be angry and crabby and he is afraid of that. I have been praying everyday for God’s guidance. We need a lot of prayers. I am just hoping that when we go to look at the houses dad will change his mind.

You should seek legal advice about what you can and cannot do for your in-laws. At some point, your husband may need to have Power of Attorney to take care of his parents needs and make decisions for them if they are unable to do so.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
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.

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.

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.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,

Mother of Tranquility

and Mother of Hope,

look upon AlwaysChatholic in this time

of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart

to know that God’s Love

for her is unchanging and

unchangeable, and, that

true human love can only

begin and grow by touching

His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -

which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
And, help her to bring this

same Peace into the lives

of others.

Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
Amen.

Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,

saying:

Jesus, help me!

In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:

Jesus, help me!

In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:

Jesus, help me!

In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,

troubles and sorrows:

Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:

Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:

Jesus, help me!

When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good

come from my efforts:

Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:

Jesus, help me!

When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and

I am lonely:

Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-

comings of every kind:

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen
