I am asking for many prayers for my niece who is 14 years old and is going to get Confirmed on May 14th. She is completely rebellious. She is disrespectful to her mother and well her mom has allowed it for so long and that is her issue to deal with, but what concerns me as well is how she is getting with me as well. She is rude and mean. She is following the wrong crowd at her middle school. She was accepted at a Catholic High School and wanted to go there for she is not learning much at her public school and wants to be challenged and so she requested the Catholic High School. Now because her “so called friends” say that only the “Barbie girls” are going to that school she doesn’t want to go there and go to the local public high school. She follows the main group and their trend in clothing as well. She even went to one of their churches and does’t see any differences in religion. She wanted to stay for their service instead of do her homework. She argues with her mom on everything. She is on facebook and at first it was okay, but now she is being mean on that too. She calls it her “sense of humor.” I don’t know if she really knows or not. I was suppose to go this weekend with her to buy her Confirmation dress, but she may be mad at me now. Her mom is disconnecting internet from her cell phone which was my suggestion for she does not need it in school and was on it during school hours. She has some weird friends that she has accepted into her fb and it is dangerous. Of course, she knows best and we don’t know what we are talking about. She thinks I need to stay out of it, but her mom called me to see what was on her fb page for she never invited her mom like I told her too for she said her mom would be monitoring the fb pages, but how if she is not invited. So I had to read what was on it to her mom.

Anyway, you get the picture. Please pray for this young lady. She had a rough childhood with her parents ugly divorce and child abuse from her dad and stepmom, but still, she is very very angry at God. I am praying for a miracle on her Confirmation day. She needs prayers and lots of them. THanks.🙂

I’m praying for your niece and your whole family.

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, we fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To you do we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not our petitions but, in your mercy, hear and answer us. 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. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 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.

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, help make all families holy.
 
Jesus we entrust her mind and soul and her life to Your merciful forgiveness and love…
Please give wisdom to her and to those who must rightly guide her.
 
Lord, please grant this niece a personal encounter with you. Help her to know you and love you. May she be inspired to practice her faith again and to trust in you. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
For your niece.

Hail Mary full of Grace, the 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.

Jesus, King of Mercy, We Trust in You.
 
Thanks for your prayers. We both need them more than ever. My niece is not talking to me again. Everytime, I correct her on anything, modesty, anything to do with God etc. she tells me I am being nosy and I should stay out of her business. I don’t understand how she can talk to me that way. Her mom has not punished her for disrespecting her in the way she talks to her so she talks to other adults that way too. It saddens my heart. I have talked to my daughter who is almost 12 and told her that if I ever heard that she talks to any adult like that she will be punished. My daughter told me she would never talk that way to an adult. I don’t think she would. My niece is just mean and rude at times. This is not the first time she talks to me this way. I don’t understand why she chose me as her sponsor for she thinks I am too religious and when I try to teach her anything about the Catholic Faith she doesn’t want to hear about it. Anyway, I am sad tonight. I don’t understand her. Her mom just passes it off as typical middle school behavior and that the teens are under a lot of pressure. I told her that is no excuse to be disrespectful to me or any adult. But my sister has told me to stay out of how she raises her kids, so I do. I just try to correct my niece when it relates to matter of Faith. I just feel like giving up and just praying for her only. What else can I do?😦

Hi everyone,

Another incident happened in which my niece’s mother, my sister, called me about my niece being on facebook during school hours. She asked me if she was and I said yes. I was not the one to report my niece, but her grandmother on her dad’s side called my sister and my sister was checking with me. As a result, my niece thinks it is all my fault and sent me a nasty message to mind my own business and well was not kind in her words again to me. I told her that she did not have to be disrespectful and that it was not me but that her mom was asking and that she was in school and should not be on the internet. I told her that her mom told me she was getting ready to take internet off her phone. Personally, I don’t think she needs a cell at school for she texts a lot during school hours too, but her mom has not taken the phone away either. So now my niece has told me that she is done with me that she this is the second or third time that I am in her business and now she lost fb for her mom made her close the acct. and she is angry at me. My sister called for my advice about a church my niece wanted to go as well and so I gave her my advice and she complained of her daughters’ attitude and how bad it has been. So I told my niece to be nice to her mom. For all that, I get disrespect and my sister tells me that her daughter is under a lot of stress in middle school. She tells me not to text her and that she is angry at me. I told my mom how my niece talked to me and she was shocked. She talked to my niece and this made her angrier and she told my mom she will never apologize. So I told my other niece who is 24 yr. old to please stand in for me as my niece’s sponsor for it is not good for so much anger between us. I am not angry at my niece and I love her as my daughter. I can’t tell you all how much this is hurting me for I helped raise this little girl and take care of her as an infant when she was born with some intestinal problem. Anyway, it saddens my heart greatly that I won’t be there, but she doesn’t want me there and has made that clear. I want to be there only if she apologizes and so far my sister says she can’t make her daughter apologize. I have talked this over with a cousin of mine who is a psychologist and she feels I did the right thing for my sister and niece need to get the message that they can’t just keep disrespecting me and think it is okay. My sister has cussed me out too and has told me in very ugly words to mind my own business when it comes to raising her kids and this is after she asks for advice on her kids. So I am done with it and I love them and will pray for them all, but emotionally I have to get off of this roller coaster she has me on.

I hope that no one thinks I am doing the wrong thing. My mom thinks I should be my niece’s sponsor and show up. My mom apologized to my niece and she had nothing to be sorry for, but did so to keep peace between them. I want peace between us, but I have nothing to apologize for. I did nothing wrong. I did not yell at her. I did not cuss at her. I did not disrespect her. My niece owes me the apology. I don’t know if I will get it from a 14 yr, old.🤷 I know she gave it to me before, but it only happened before because I apologized first because I got mad at her and used a cuss word and I told her I was sorry for cussing. She wrote me in a text that I had nothing to be sorry about, it was her that needed to apologize. But this time, I won’t initiate a text.

Please continue to pray for my niece. My sister is so angry at me and my family that she is not allowing my niece to stand in for me but will be doing it herself. I don’t think the parish will allow that, but I will leave it alone and let her find out on the day of rehearsal. Please pray for us all. Thanks.
 
Pater noster, qui es in coelis: sanctificetur nomen tuum: adveniat regnum tuum:
fiat voluntas tua sicut in coelo 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.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum; benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritu Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
 
I will pray for this prayer intention .

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.
 
Lord, please take this girl by the hand and lead her away from all that is causing her to be rude and disrespectful to You, as well as her family. Help her own mother to see the part she plays in this girl’s behavior, and move her to action in changing this girl’s attitude. Bless her aunt that is concerned for the spiritual and physical well-being of her niece. Guide her in ways that would help. I ask this through the intercession of Your Most Holy Mother, Mary.
