Hi all,

So on Friday, my mom made the sad announcement to me that my Aunt and Uncle are getting divorced after 23 years of marriage and 29 years of being together. They were high school sweethearts and had a lot of history together… I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this.

During the beginning of the summer, my mom told me that he was moving out into an apartment. So they have been living separately for about 3-4 months. My older cousin was home from college this weekend and so my Uncle told her and my younger cousin what they had decided.

My mom explained to me however that my Uncle had probably told them that neither of them had been able to work things out, which wasn’t true. My aunt wanted so badly for it to work, but my Uncle claims that he is “unhappy”. No one cheated on each other. It is not over money. Nothing like that. Today during lunch, my dad told me he believed that my Uncle maybe has depression. But that he has always been selfish.

My aunt was raised in the catholic church along with my mother, but my Uncle was not (even though he comes from a very Irish family). His parents got divorced when he was about my cousin’s age, so I believe that maybe contributed to this. While my Aunt and Uncle and cousins have followed a very busy and successful family life, full of sports and demanding careers, they have not pursued a spiritual one like my family eventually did during the past few years.

Please pray that my aunt will be comforted in this time of need, and that my family and I can serve her in whatever way possible… please also pray for my Uncle’s heart, that perhaps he can see how hardened it has become… thank you.
 
Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
 
Lord God, please hear our prayers for this beloved uncle and aunt. Please touch their hearts, ease their pain, and rekindle in their hearts the love that first bloomed between them. I especially pray for the uncle, soften his heart, grant him the wisdom and knowledge to discern Your will, and lead him back to his wife and family. I pray for the aunt that she is comforted at this time. May this experience strengthen her. All these I ask in the name of Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and St. Monica. AMEN
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
 
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
 
Father soften the hearts of this man and draw him near you.
We pray that this marriage foundation is rebuilt.

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.
