Please pray for us

[nancymarie]

I’ve posted here before.

My husband and I have been separated for awhile now. My story is elsewhere so I won’t go into it here. I left because the conditions in the home had affected my mental and physical health.

He has progressive ms. I still visit and help him, and oversee his health. I have not filed for divorce. Lately I’ve been asking God for further direction about returning to living together.

I’m afraid not only of the stress involved in caring for him, but because of his past history of abuse and what I believe was lack of love and charity for me. We don’t have any children so I will be pretty much alone in all this – and we’re not young.

I need the strength to make a final decision and not change my mind. My heart hurts for him but I have so much fear and anxiety… also overwhelming and constant guilt.

I talked to a priest but he was non-committal. Just said my marriage was a sorrowful one and that I could probably get it annulled.

I have no peace.

Please pray for both of us.

praying so much for you. May His Love guide you, heal you, and give you peace and resolution.



Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your 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.
For Thine is the Kingdom
and the Power
and the Glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus.
Sancta Maria mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen

Prayers are sent your way! The only advise I can give is when you mention you still help him with ms. That might be his purgatory to deal with and you are definatly a living saint for still helping him b/c you are doing the Father’s will by respecting and following your vows. The main reason for marriage is to help eachother get to Heaven. Just try to be strong and continue to pray and God will hold you up in ways you can never imagine. I know it seems hard now but you are doing God’s will by remaining faithful to your marriage whether he is or not is up to him but he will have to answer for that not you. God Bless!!! PS. Abuse is never a good thing to deal with but if things have gotten better with that then you should continue to help him and pray for him. If you still have to go through the abuse then don’t just pray for him. No one deserves to be put through that. Be careful not to hold grudges though. Hope this helps.

I will definitely be praying for you, my sister. My family has a history of physical and mental health problems, so your post really touched my heart.

Please seek help from parishioners as well as your priest. Be sure to pray and listen for God’s voice; sometimes it’s very soft.

Yes, indeed, I will pray for you both. You are continuing to care for him, so you’re doing the best you can, which is all Jesus asks of us.

So have peace, whether or not you move back in with him, just do your best.

I would suggest that you visit Jesus in your nearest Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel or tabernacle, sit or kneel before Him, ask Him what to do, and then listen.

Praying for you …

Praying for you and your husband. Progressive MS is misery. I hope he has other caregivers.

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 death
Amen.
