Been married 17 years. Husband moved away on a job, got a taste of “single” life and decided we have grown apart. We really had, but I was fine with it and doing my best to live happily together. Thought he was totally all for divorce, but he has said he will look into Retrouville (sp?) to attend. Please pray for him to chose this option if it be God’s will. I accept that it may however be God’s will that we be apart and am willing to accept that also. Thanks for your prayers. Blessings, Bobbie
 
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, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Remembering you and your husband in my daily prayers at this difficult time. His openness to Retrouvaille (“rediscovery” in French) is encouraging.

God bless!
 
O Sacred Heart of Jesus bring loving unity to this marriage.

Hail Mary, full of grace, our Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

My husband and I will light our prayer candle in our home this evening for you and your dear husband.

May God give you and your husband the strength to attend the Retrouvaille program with open hearts and a longing to renew your love. May Retrouvaille be to your marriage like a soft silver cleaner lovingly rubbed over a tarnished silver platter allowing the natural beauty to shine once again for all to see.

(pronounced re-tro-vi with a long i)

Please do not begin to think it may be God’s will that you be apart. If God has created a valid marriage between the two of you, He has united you as one. May this tool of Retrouvaille give you two the ability to smooth over these rough spots and make you stronger as one.

Contact retrouvaille.org/

Maybe today you can contact the Family Life Office at your Diocese to give you more information on the next Retrouvaille in your area and give you hope for your marriage.

From their website:

"There are 4 Stages of Marriage: (1) Romance, (2) Disillusionment, (3) Misery, and (4) Awakening. Due to the high divorce rate many couples never make it to the 4th Stage of Awakening.

…Whether you are in the Disillusionment Stage grieving the loss of that magical Romance or if you have moved firmly into the Misery Stage Retrouvaille can give you the marriage help you need to rebuild your marriage. Many tens of thousands of couples have turned their marriages around by giving this program a chance.

Can you save your marriage by attending and working the Retrouvaille program? You will never know until you try. Call the phone number or send an email to the caring Retrouvaille volunteers in your area. Ask them those tough questions that keep nagging at you in the back of your mind. The people answering the phone or responding to your email are people just like you who have been there and pushed through to the 4th Stage of Awakening. They will be able to relate to your feelings of hopelessness and loss. They will do their best to give you the answers you need about this program.

Be assured that all contacts are held in the strictest confidence."
 
Thanks to everyone who have already began praying for us. I can feel your love just by your overwhelming response. Thank you. And, on the job front, things seem to be looking up for me too now that after 14 years I must begin working fulltime. Blessing and prayers your way as well. Thanks again!
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

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
