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:
