Hi, I’m here to ask for prayers for my mom. I pray for her full conversion daily but Im not seeing much happen. My mom doesn’t receive the Sacraments and doesn’t attend church, and sometimes says things that imply disagreement with Church teachings on sin, repentance, hell, the devil, etc… sometimes she also says things that sound blasphemous, but maybe they’re said in ignorance. I really really don’t want to judge her… I know only God knows our hearts… I love my mom a lot. I know she’s trying to just see the good in the world, and that’s great. I think she is a really good person. But there’s also a lot of anger and unforgiveness in my family, and my parents fight all the time, and I always pray for them but things don’t’ improve. My greatest fear ever is that my family wouldn’t make it to Heaven. I know this might sound like a really judgemental thing to say, but I don’t consider myself any more likely to get there, however I’m really trying. Recently my mom has expressed a desire to visit church, and I’m hoping so much that God would give her grace to come closer to Him, and heal her of all the pain that she is emotionally. I’m also praying for all my family to come to God through the Sacrament of Confession - they’re Eastern Orthodox. If you could pray with me I’d appreciate it so much. This is a huge burden for me that I have to carry daily, and I know there are probably many people in the same situation. Maybe we could all pray together for our families.

Thank you :hug1:
 
I hope this won’t’ be like gossip, because the reason I’m sharing this is not to gossip but to explain the prayer intention. Today, my mom said that maybe the Bible (specifically: Revelation) was inspired by the devil, not God, because it talks so much about evil. I hope this was said because of ignorance or misunderstanding… I know that my mom does believe in Christ and she is baptized, so the Holy Spirit is in her life… but the statement came to me as a huge shock and I can’t get over it; especially because I have no idea if my mom really meant this or not. 😦 Please pray to God and Our Lady that they would guide my mom in the right direction and protect her from all the attacks of the evil one.
 
Hi Monica, I will add her to my prayers this evening.

The Prayer to St. Michael may be good to add to your prayers considering your specific concerns for her.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard 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 power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who wander throughout the world, seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen
 
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created.
And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations.

Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
 
Dear Monica,

I recommended your Mom and family to our Lady, and I will include them in my daily prayers. I recommend that you do what St. Padre Pio says to do: Pray, Hope, and Don’t Worry. Peace and God bless!

Yours in Christ,
ready
 
Dear Monica, I’ll pray for you and your family.

Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.
Even for those who have torn the garment of Your unity,
A fount of mercy flows from Your Heart.
The omnipotence of Your mercy, Oh God,
Can lead these souls also out of error.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages.
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.
 
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.
 
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

For your intentions…

O Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus,
and in the power and authority of the Holy Spirit,
I ask that You fill Monica4316’s mom
with the knowledge of Your will
through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Enlighten this precious child of Yours, dear Lord!
Teach this dear one to live in a manner
that is worthy of You,
so as to be fully pleasing to You,
full of good works bearing good fruits
and ever growing in knowledge of You.
Strengthen this lost lamb, dear Lord,
with every power of Your Holy Spirit,
in accordance with Your might,
for all endurance and patience,
with joy, giving thanks to You O Father!
Make Your child fit to share in the inheritance
of the holy ones in the Light.
Deliver this beloved one from the power of darkness
and transfer Monica4316’s Mom
into the kingdom of Your Beloved Son, Jesus,
in whom is redemption and the forgiveness of sins.
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;

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.
 
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
