…Amen and well said. Yes, it can be hard to trust The Lord at times and the intention suffices if one cannot actually feel that trust. “What father asked for bread, would give His child a scorpion?”
**Praying for these kids **
:knight1:Thanks Barbara. My sister works at a gym and for years now she has one person who comes in and asks to put the TV on court TV. Today, she asked this woman if she was a lawyer and she said no that she is a “Judicial Watcher” and sits in in court to see if a judge is appropriate. My sister told her of that last court date and this woman asked who was the judge. She told her and she said that she has many reports on this judge and they are not favorable. She also mentioned that most of these reports are that he, the judge, is sexest. This we figured out, but my sister’s attorney, who knows this man personally, said it was not true. Anyway, this judicial watcher said that she will be in court on Sept 6th to watch this judge. This is great and we are thankful to God for allowing this to happen.
Thanks so much. The kids are home safe and sound with mommy. They lost a lot of weight and look so thin. My nephew, Luis, complained right away to his mother that he was hit a lot during the two weeks and went to bed crying a lot also. My niece said that her stepmom’s sister was visiting for the last week. I hope that meant that dad and stepmom behaved better. Both kids look more depressed though, so something else might have happened. My sister does not ask the kids anything when they come back and if they talk, she will listen. Sometimes things come out later on. I just can’t believe the weight loss though. My niece was underweight before the summer began and now, where most kids gain weight in the summer, both of these kids lost so much weight with each two week visit. They would gain at their mom’s for her two weeks, but not at a fast rate as they were losing. It is quite sad.
She should love the summers and not hate them for that reason.We should all pray a Novena starting on Tuesday, August 28th. It will end on Sunday, Sept. 5, the day before the court date. I think it would be neat if we all say the same novena, but any novenas at that time would be great. St. Philomena is one of our family Saints and the Patroness of hopeless cases and children. We could also pray to the Holy Family, or a Marian novena, or an Infant of Prague novena. Hmm, the Infant of Prague would be a good one, don’t you think? Let us know which novena you would like for us to join you in. If you don’t have the prayer but you know who you want to ask this favor of, let me know and we can find one for you.
I’m up for a Novena, tell me which one to do! :bounce:We should all pray a Novena starting on Tuesday, August 28th. It will end on Sunday, Sept. 5, the day before the court date.

I remember reading about St. Philomena and she is one of the saints I call upon to protect these children and pray for them. I know she is known for praying for hopeless cases and for children with problems, as well as unhappy homes. I would do this Novena and so will all the Catholics in my family. So I would say, St. Philomena. So we start on it on August 28th until the 5th of September.
