Please pray for my marriage. I have returned to the church after leaving at 17yrs of age now I am 52 this may. I was widowed with 3 children and attended a nondenominational christian church where I met and married my husband of 20yrs. We have a son together who is now 18yrs of age. My problem is this. I have unhappily found out that the church does not consider my marriage valid because my husband was married before for 5yrs. Neither one was a christian at the time and they were not married in a church. She left him for another man after having an affair. I met him at church and his ex wife was already remarried. So fast forward, my parish pastor said that my husband could annul his former marriage according to the Pauline privledge, my husband is not catholic and is less than thrilled that I am. He has prostrate cancer and subsequently has to recieve lupron shots which give him no sex drive at all, but when the medication needs to be given again the sex drive returns and my husband feels rejected. He has become furious with me over this and to be fair I do understand. He refuses to consider annulment because he is not catholic. It makes him wildly angry. I feel that I am to remain as his wife and to pray for him. I have recently realized that the Blessed Virgin Mary is also my mother and am developing a love for her that she stands with me in prayer for my husband. This has been a three and a half yr conversion on my end with reading and studying everything I could get my hands on. I began with the sickening realization that Martin Luther believed in the true presence of Jesus in the eucharist, which led to Scott Hahn and many others. I now have quite a library. My husband is not theological he is struggling in his own relationship with the Lord which has affected many areas of our lives. I am asking the impossible, I ask for your prayers with the Blessed Virgin interceeding for my Husbands full conversion to the Catholic faith. I know that God is good, his plans are for good and not evil. Please join me and pray for strength in my own walk with the Lord. To trust Him and to remember His promise that wherever two or more are gathered in His name He is there with them and if we ask according to His will it will be done for us. Thank you in advance, Salem777merryt55@gmail.com
 
I pray for you and your Husbad - I pray that God guides you both with his love and mercy - and I pray this in the name of Christ
Amen
**Hail Mary full of grace
the Lord is with thee
blessed are 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!**
 
Thank you… It’s comforting to know I’m not alone. I have a parish but haven’t been able to meet really anybody due to two back surgeries cuz of a blown disk and complications. It sure has given me lots of time for reading and reflection, God’s gift to me. His ways are truly not ours for sure. If anyone had ever told me 5yrs ago that I would return to the Catholic Church AND have a devotion to Mary I would have thought they were nuts. He is faithful and mysterious and I now view the Church, the Blessed Mother and all of the saints as gifts He always intended for me to have. Much love. Salem777
 
Dear Lord please assist her in recovery from her serious surgeries;
and please aid her in resolving her marriage issues.
Please flood Your graces into her soul and her family. Thank You for the graces already received.
We trust her and her family to Your merciful love.
Mother Mary please pray for her and her marriage and family, that all will be as your Son wishes. Thank you, Mother
 
Lord have mercy on these needs and problems and bring them to the resolution that You desire. Saint Michael please intercede powerfully for Salem in all these issues.
 
Thank you for your prayers, I have felt the spiritual warfare intensely and am not able obviously to share with my husband. I have felt very intense grief and have felt very frustrated with the Church which I know is normal in this very painful awkward situation. I want to stay true to the teaching of the church, its just so hard to know that a priest could absolve this matter but my husband is not going to pursue this because HE IS NOT CATHOLIC and does not subscribe to the authority of the church. Anulment is out of the question, he is at peace. I do not preach but try to be an example thru love. I like what St. Francis of Assisi said “preach the gospel at all times, when necessary use words” please pray for me to shine more light of Christ in my relationship with my husband, that I would be a sweet fragrence to the Lord and subsequently my husband and family.
Thank you again for your continued prayers. Salem777
 
Prayers for you and your husband:

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 who trespass against us. Led us not into temptation but deliver from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are 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
 
Nothing is impossible. I am praying that God Bless all of you that you all will become closer to God and that you are both together under God’s guidance and grace

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and
Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
Pray for us Sinners, now and at the our of death. Amen

Keep your head up, Believe Miracles do happen, God Bless you:)
