Please pray for my daughter Shannon. She is engaged to a guy who will shortly be stationed in Georgia.(he is in the Army stationed in Europe) She has decided against our wishes to move in with him for two years then get married. We have begged her to stay home…get her education and in a year we will pay for her wedding, give her the car and furniture to set up her house, pay for him to come visit her in Florida every other week and we will take her up there to visit with him. She has turned us down saying she wants to be with him and has now moved out of our home and in with her sister and her husband. The family says to just accept it and support her. As a Catholic mother…I can’t!

Pray for her to change her heart and for My husband and I, pray that God gives us the strength to deal with this situation. THANKS

I have prayed. Perhaps if you were able to speak to your daughter’s fiancee personally, and explain your feelings, he would change their plans. He might be less likely to act on emotions and let reason prevail. Your daughter would be unhappy with you, but she is already, anyway. Good luck and God bless.
 
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.
 
Lord, Mama Mary I pray the Shannon be enlightened. Please show her the way leading to Your will. I also pray for her family that they may understand and accept that everything happens for a reason. Keep the family strong and may they continue to trust in You. I believe something good will come out of this.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
I feel for you and your husband, Debbie. May God give you both comfort and strength.
I ask our God to give you and your husband wisdom in dealing with your daughter and the situation…as if is at present both your daughters are involved as she is sheltering at her sister’s home…which indicates how complicated and difficult things are. Therefore our good God we ask wisdom, mutual love and respect between each family member and for You in this situation.
 
Thank you all for your prayers. I am finding peace. Please continue the prayers for my family. THANKS
 
Praying for your faith in God to carry you through this very trying time. May the Lord give you and your husband strength, wisdom and inner peace to help you cope with your daughter’s unfortunate decision. May your daughter have a change of heart and decide to do the right thing and not move in with her boyfriend. Praying for your daughter’s conversion/salvation. Amen.
