Hello all - I am new on this forum.
I am in need of prayers - for my wife Sandra, for my marriage, for my children.
We had been married for five years when, four years ago, Sandra left to live with another (married) man. I have done everything I can think of to help her back. Several times, she actually did - and left again. Three times, she has filed for divorce - and gave the procedure up. I have been praying day after day, offering masses, and have seen their power on her - but I am tired, could you carry me in prayer?
She seems to think that there is no light for her, that she can not escape her instincts and her weakness, that she cannot do good - so please pray for her conversion, that she would receive the true Love, which is our Lord Himself. She seems unable to see the consequences of her lies and her acts - so please pray for her conversion, that she may see the truth of her fallen, and of her redeemed soul.
And please pray for our marriage, that our children may have the example of a loving, healthy relationship, and that we may find peace and grow in love.

God bless all of you

John
 
Merciful and loving Father, You have made John and his wife not two, but one flesh. You have watched as this marriage has suffered, patiently waiting until the exact moment to turn his wife’s heart back to him. As well, John has suffered every day that she has been away. Gracious Lord, restore peace and love to this home, calling the prodigal wife to her senses. As with You, Father, forgiveness awaits her for the asking. Grant her the humility sufficient to turn her back on sin and return to You. With You, and with John, awaiting arms are hers. Lord, You have seen the devotion of John who patiently waits. Reward that patience and love with a restoration of this marriage. Reveal to John’s wife that sin and darkness destroy, but love and forgiveness restore. The greatest is love, and we pray that love will return to all sides of this suffering family. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!

Lord, we understand that the family is man’s participation in Your plan for our salvation. We humbly beseech thee, Father, to help John endure these trials. Let Your love strengthen John, and let Your grace grant his wife eyes to see that which she vowed to defend in marriage.

Do not let our beloved friend lose heart, my God! Strengthen him, and nourish him, and keep him always close to Your heart.

Most of all, Lord, protect their beautiful children. We ask that you keep watch over them through these trials, and that You send your angels to protect them from harm.

Protect this family, O Lord. Lead his wife back to him and their children, and grant John the grace to forgive and love with all his heart.

Amen.

Here’s an excellent prayer you might wish to say together with your wife. Meditate on it!

Lord Jesus, grant that I and my spouse may have a true and understanding love for each other. Grant that we both may be filled with faith and trust. Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony. May we always bear with one another’s weaknesses and grow from each other’s strengths.

Help us to forgive one another’s failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of self.

May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year. Bring us both ever closer to You through our love for each other. Let our love grow to perfection. Amen.

Remind her that she is not alone! She is your wife, and with the grace of God, you two can overcome this! Do not lose faith, my brother.

I weep for you, and I keep you in my prayers. I will dedicate my Mass on Thursday to you and your family.
 
Give this family, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give this family an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give this family an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon them also, O Lord our God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
