My mother and father are both in their mid eighties. Mom has recently moved into an assisted living facility because she has early onset dementia. My father isn’t able to look after her. He feels lost without her, and feels like they are “separated” or “divorced” as he puts it. He visits her everyday, and phones her though. He’s in the process of renovating and selling their place and then moving closer to her, or perhaps even into the facility (although he doesn’t want to, yet, he has been pretty active).

Yesterday he phoned me, in tears, and upset. His count has gone way up (prostate cancer) and needs more aggressive treatment. He’s very afraid.

The thing is, they raised me and my two other sisters without any faith. (My baby sister actually asked what religion we were, my dad said atheist, so Shell looked for an atheist church and couldn’t find one… true story)

My sister and I are now happy Catholics, (the other is secular-no faith). It’s our greatest prayer for them to be baptized and know and love the Faith as we do, but we both feel like “Jesus in Nazareth”. Our speaking (in love) to them, is slowly, slowly helping… but it’s a little slow considering the circumstances! They are both very thankful however, when we pray with them. Dad even has tears in his eyes…

Please pray that they are open to baptism and conversion! They are the 12th hour harvesters!

God bless all of you.
 
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.

Almighty God, open marlap2’s parents eyes and hearts to baptism and conversion. In your infinite love and mercy, give marlap2’s father peace and comfort as he goes through his daily struggles without having his wife with him. This I pray in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
Prayers are with your parents and entire family.

*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. *

Hail Mary, full of Grace,

Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

I’m happy to keep them in my prayers. God bless.
 
Dear Lord, we thank you for the precious blessing of parents in this life. Out of love we will miss them when they are gone and so we hope to be reunited with them face to face in the light of the world to come. Please help us to show them the gospel in our lives and let the seeds you sow grow in the heart of these parents. Grant that these parents will come to believe in you.

In Jesus name.

Amen.

Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
