My husband is a lapsed Catholic and I pray every day that he might have the spark ignited in him to return to his faith. I am hopeful that he will start to join me in Church for mass, but currently he doesn’t attend. I am worried for him as his lifestyle (pornography and masterbation) is damaging his spiritual health and his actual health as well as our marriage. He is very secretive about this side of his life and I feel lost in tackling it. We moved to a new area and he doesn’t know our priest so I cant suggest he speaks to him about it, he would NEVER agree to that. So I pray for him as I’m worried about him and ask our Lord to turn him back to his faith. Thank you for praying for him I truly appreciate it.
Return of Lapsed Catholics to the Sacrament.
Almighty Father,
You desire not the death of the sinner, but that he may be converted and live.
Pour out upon us Your mercy and hear the prayers of Your servants.
Soften the hearts of Your children who have strayed from the true path which
You established for their salvation.
They are now forgetful of their duties as Catholics,
and pursue the pleasures of the world.
Grant that they may quickly return to the practice of every Christian virtue,
so that their lives may shine with the integrity of faith,
the fervor of piety, and the ardor of charity.
Restore them all to Your sacraments and the life of Your grace,
through the merits of the most precious blood of Your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ.
Amen
