My husband is a cradle Catholic. His mother is 100% Italian Catholic, and quite devout, and he and I actually met at a Newman Club meeting in college.

However, due to some struggles he and I have endured lately (mostly financial), he has drifted away from his faith. It’s to the point that he’s said he doesn’t know what he believes in, if anything at all. (I am trying to use our struggles to grow closer to my faith, and use this as an opportunity to lay my trust before the Lord.) In addition, he struggles with depression and anxiety (chemical imbalance), and it seems to be getting worse lately because he doesn’t have his faith as a source of inner strength.

It makes me sad because when he was strong in the Church, he was a great man of faith, and I know he could be an AMAZING spiritual head of our home! He is receptive to discussing my faith when i tell him things I’m reading or studying, but he doesn’t even go to Mass. His frustration with our situation is being turned on the Church, and on God.

I know that somewhere inside him is the great man of faith I once knew, and I’m praying that he will discover that side of himself again. I’m praying that the Lord will speak to his heart and bring him home to the Church. And I’m praying I can be a good example of faith and love to him, and that the Lord will work through me in his life.

Would you pray for my husband, as well? He needs all the prayer cover he can get. Thank you so much!
 
For your husband God bless

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
 
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.
 
Next week I shall walk to the ancient shrine of Walsingham. It will take all week. I will lay your call to prayer at Our Lady’s feet, (to whom we cry, poor banished children of Eve).

You may be your husband’s rock while his faith is tested. So my prayers are for you too.

Pour fourth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection. Through Christ out Lord. Amen.

Columba.
 
Dear Saint Joseph,
Please intercede for this man. You too knew the stress of hard work and diversity and yet you persevered.
 
Praying for you, your husband and family before the Blessed Holy Eucharist at Mass today.

Prayer of Saint Gurtrude

O MOST holy Father, now that Thine Only-begotten Son, here truly present upon the Altar, has deigned to become a Sacrifice and propitiation for our sins, I offer Thee His most holy Body and Blood, His Humanity and His Divinity, His virtues and His perfections, His Passion and Death, in union with that love with which He once offered Himself to Thee upon the Cross, and now offers Himself to Thee on the Altar. And in union with these I offer Thee the virtues, merits, and graces of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the Saints, together with all the good works of all men, and all the whole treasure of Thy holy Church. And I desire especially to add to these whatever of good I and those who are dear to me have ever done, and whatever afflictions we have suffered for Thy glory. And in union with this Sacrifice, and with all those which are offered to Thee all over the world, I offer to Thee this oblation, O Eternal Father, through Thy beloved Son, in the power of the Holy Ghost, to Thy supreme praise and glory, in acknowledgment of Thy supreme Majesty, and dominion, and in thanksgiving for all the benefits and the graces Thou hast ever bestowed on any creature, and in full reparation for every injury or insult ever offered to Thee by any whom Thy hands have made.

I offer it to Thee for the increase of the joy and glory of the sacred Humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in worship and veneration of all the mysteries of His life and death, for the increase of the glory and blessedness of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all the Saints, especially my holy Patrons, and those whose memory we this day celebrate.

Lastly, I offer it to Thee on behalf of myself, a most miserable sinner, and for all my friends, whether in the order of nature or of grace [especially **NPalmby’s husband.], and for all Christians living and departed; beseeching Thee that Thou wouldst deign to accept it as an adequate and sufficient thanksgiving for all the benefits and graces which Thou hast ever bestowed on our bodies and souls, to impart to us all the grace needful for us, to turn away from us all evil of body and of soul which might hinder our salvation, and to grant us perfect and entire remission of all our sins and negligences. For all these ends, I offer Thee all the love with which Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord has ever loved Thee, and all the satisfaction He has made to Thee for our sins. Through Him and with Him and in Him be all honour and glory unto Thee, O God, Father Almighty, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, for ever and ever. Amen. :highprayer::signofcross:
 
What more can be said?
I will pray for him too.
I do know that I personal had to be brought to my knees
before God could work with me.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us form the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of your mercy. Amen.
 
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!

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.
 
Thank you, everyone. I’m so moved by your prayers. I continue to pray that the Lord is softening his heart!
 
An Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be and a Fatima Prayer for your husband that he may return to the faith.
