Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragment! My husband is on his way to pick me up so we can look at baby furniture, and we are scheduled to attend an all day birthing class tomorrow.

I will not lose faith, but it is very difficult at times. My mother believes that I should shut him out of my life, but I want to try everything to salvage our marriage of over 8 yrs. Thanks again for your prayers. God bless!!

Catholic Prayer For Knowledge and Strength

Give me O Lord, I pray Thee
firm faith, unwavering hope
perfect charity.
Pour into my heart
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding
the Spirit of counsel and spiritual strength
the Spirit of knowledge and true godliness
and the Spirit of Thy holy fear
Light eternal, shine in my heart
Power eternal, deliver me from evil
Wisdom eternal, scatter the darkness of my ignorance
Might eternal, pity me
Grant that I may ever seek Thy face
with all my heart and soul and strength;
and, in thine infinite mercy,
bring me at last to Thy holy presence
where I shall behold Thy glory
and possess Thy promised joys

St. Alcuin of York (735-804)
 
My husband & I attended an all day birthing class yesterday, and we went to look at baby furniture the day before. He actually accompanied me to church last night after a quick bite to eat. He really did not want to go and kept asking if I really wanted to go, but I insisted and we made it! I reminded my husband last Wednesday that it was the beginning of Lent, and he actually went to Mass and received ashes. I hope that he begins to have a change of heart soon. Our baby is due soon and we need him. Thanks again for your prayers. God bless!!

Prayers for Hope and Comfort
Prayer Attributed to St. Augustine
Watch, dear Lord, with those who wake or watch or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend your sick ones, O Lord Jesus Christ, rest your weary ones, bless your dying ones, soothe your suffering ones, shield your joyous ones, and all for your love’s sake. Amen.

Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything. Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
God has no body now on earth but yours; no hands but yours; no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which the compassion of Christ must look out on the world. Yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which He is to bless His people.
Amen.
(St. Teresa of Ávila)

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safe-guard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

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.
 
My husband & I went to get a 3D ultrasound and had dinner last night. Nothing has really changed between us, but he seems to care more about our baby. We also went to see more baby furniture.

I went to Mass this morning, confession and received a special blessing and anoiting from a priest. He also prayed for our marriage and the health of our baby.

My husband took it upon himself to visit a couple of furniture stores early this afternoon, and stopped by to drop off furniture pamphlets, dessert and gave our baby a kiss for the second time.

Thanks again for your prayers and God bless!

I am new to Catholic Answers, so please bear with me. I do not know whether this is the right place to post prayer petitions.

My husband of 8 yrs has decided to leave me. We have had a rocky relationship, but I am am 15 weeks pregnant and grieving my father’s loss. We are suppose to revisit this issue in the next week. I has very difficult for me because I cannot sleep through the night and my appetite has diminished. Talk about horrible timing!!

Please pray that my husband has a change of heart, love me and reconcile our marriage. Please pray that all negative influences and the enemy be removed from her and allow her to grow closer to God. Please let me see some positive change in my husband’s attitude. Please bless him and pray for him, my marriage and my baby.

Thank you & God bless

MEMORARE TO SAINT ANNE
TO OBTAIN A SPECIAL FAVOUR
Remember, O glorious and Good Saint Anne,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored they help and sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, behold,
I cast myself at they feet,
and beseech thee,
by thy great prerogative of being the Mother of the Queen of Heaven
and the Grandmother of Jesus,
come to my aid with thy powerful intercession,
and obtain from Almighty God
through the ever Blessed Virgin Mary,
this special favor which I beg of thee…

Cease not to intercede for me until,
through Divine Mercy,
my request may be granted.
Above all, obtain for me the grace one day
to behold my God face to face and with thee and Mary
and all the Saints praise and bless Him through all eternity.

Amen.
That you and your husband reconcile, and have a healthy baby.
 
Dear TBCRAWFORD,

Thank you for your encouragement and continued prayers! They mean so much. I went to a prenatal visit yesterday, and my husband accompanied me. He was excited to hear listen to our baby’s heartbeat. I have a couple of weeks to go.

Thank you all for your prayers.

God bless!!
 
May God bless you Sol my friend for your patience,endurance and courage.You are a good wife and mother already to your baby by protecting your child and trying your hardest to bring everything together.You are ain my prayers even if i do not have time to post.xx

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.
 
Thanks again for all your prayers!! My husband & I went for an ultrasound last week, and everything seems to be fine with our baby. We did a little baby furniture shopping, went for lunch and attended a 2 day childbirth class. We seem to be getting along a bit better, but we are still separated and their is no talk about getting back yet. We are suppose to try counseling after the birth, but it will probably be very difficult to schedule. Please keep from for the health of our baby and for a reconciliation. Thank you & God bless.
 
Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear my plea for

(We pray for reconciliation for Sol and her husband and safe delivery of their baby)

and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

A Prayer to St. Gerard for Safe Delivery
O great Saint Gerard, beloved servant of Jesus Christ, perfect imitator of your meek and humble Savior, and devoted child of Mother of God, enkindle within my heart one spark of that heavenly fire of charity which glowed in your heart and made you an angel of love.

O glorious Saint Gerard, because when falsely accused of crime, you did bear, like your Divine Master, without murmur or complaint, the calumnies of wicked men, you have been raised up by God as the patron and protector of expectant mothers. Preserve me from danger and from the excessive pains accompanying childbirth, and shield the child which I now carry, that it may see the light of day and receive the purifying and life-giving waters of baptism through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer to St. Dymphna - Hope
Good St. Dymphna, you placed all your hope in Christ’s promises, and sacrificed even your life in that hope. The Lord, God, rewarded your constancy by making your name known and loved over many centuries by the thousands whom you have aided in time of difficulty. Please assist us now in our present necessity, and intercede before God for our intentions. Obtain for us a firm hope like your own in God’s unfailing protection. Amen.

Prayer to St. Elizabeth Seton For Constancy And Comfort
Your life was full of immense suffering, yet you maintained your faith. Even during your deepest sorrows, you served others. You said, “Tribulation is my element,” and saw beyond your suffering and into others. I would ask you, Mother Seton, to stand with me when I hurt the most. Help me develop compassion - compassion for my suffering and through it, compassion for the wounds and sorrows that all other people hold. Show me the path through my sufferings that will lead me to know more love, and through that love know more about God. Amen.

May God bless you and protect you dear Sol.You are so brave and strong you are already a wonderful mother!!God blessxx

God our Creator, we pray:
for new mothers, coming to terms with new responsibility;
for expectant mothers, wondering and waiting;
for those who are tired, stressed or depressed;
for those who struggle to balance the tasks of work and family;
for those who are unable to feed their children due to poverty;
for those whose children have physical, mental or emotional disabilities;
for those who have children they do not want;
for those who raise children on their own;
for those who have lost a child;
for those who care for the children of others;
for those whose children have left home;
and for those whose desire to be a mother has not been fulfilled.
Bless all mothers, that their love may be deep and tender,
and that they may lead their children to know and do what is good,
living not for themselves alone, but for God and for others. Amen.
 
Oh Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke your powerful name, the protection of the living and the salvation of the dying. Purest Mary, let your name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, Blessed Lady, to rescue me whenever I call on you. In my temptations, in my needs, I will never cease to call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary. What a consolation, what sweetness, what confidence fills my soul when I utter your sacred name or even only think of you! I thank the Lord for having given you so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love for you prompt me ever to hail you Mother of Perpetual Help. Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for me and grant me the favor I confidently ask of you.
(Then say three Hail Marys).
 
Thanks again for your prayers. I have actually been to the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church once, and I have asked for her aid very often. I went to my prenatal visit a couple of days ago and everything seems to be fine with our baby, but I still have about 10 days to go. Please continue to pray for our baby’s health, my labor & delivery and for a reconciliation between my husband & I. Thank you & God bless!!
