I realize that what God holds dear can not be stolen, but at the moment it appears as if My son has been so confused by His mind (masters degree and more) that he no longer believes in the existence of GOD.
He has fallen in with the philosophers.
Please Pray for him.
 
Bill, I know that is so very painful to a person of faith to see his son or daughter lose faith. I’ve seen that happen in my own family, but have also seen sisters and brothers return to the faith, and even a son! In some cases it took several years, but in the end the prayer and God’s grace prevailed.

“Relent, Lord God! How much longer do we have? Take pity on your servants. Let us wake in the morning filled with Your love, and sing and be happy all our days. Make our future as happy as our past was sad…Let your servants see what You can do for them, let their children see your glory. May the sweetness of the Lord be on us! Make all we do succeed.”

God’s promise: “Stop your crying and wipe away your tears. All that you have done for your children will not go unrewarded; they will return from the enemy’s land. There is hope for your future; your children will come back home. I, the Lord, have spoken.” [Jeremiah 31:16-17]

God bless you Bill.
"Amen’ to your prayers for your son.
 
**I lost my faith in College as well, I was so miss guided and confused.
God took away my mental health and gave me Schizophrenia as a gift of
Grace. I now have no high powered job; or any income except a Disability
Check. I will pray that he doesn’t need such burden of Grace to bring him
back to all that really matters.

Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the LORD is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst 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.

I also lost my faith during college. I actually was an Atheist for around a week. And then at the end of the first/beginning of the 2nd semester, I quit being a Christian and got involved in the Occult. 😦 This was before I was baptized and became Catholic. Now, all I get is a disability check as well.

Unfortunately many of those in higher education are w/o faith and tend to lead the faithful away. I will join you in prayer! If given the opportunity there are many good books available and the “intellectual” types will often be willing to read something. Do this ONLY if you feel led to. One I’d recommend is : Reason to Believe Why Faith Makes Sense by Richard Purtill (Ignatius Press)

I understand as my daughter came home with her masters with a similar attitude. I also have close relatives who live as pagans in mortal sin. For years I have offered rosaries for all of them. My brother called to ask me to pray for his fiancee as she went into surgery: there are no atheists in foxholes. I view his request for prayers as an answer by God to my prayers. Be very, very patient and never give up. I will include your intentions in my prayers. In the meantime, offer your son to the care of Mary.
 
Father, hear our prayers for the salvation of the world.
Grant Mercy to all souls that turned away from You.
Open their hearts and minds with Your light.

Gather Your children from the east and the west,
from the north and the south.

Have mercy O God on those who do not know You.
Bring them out of darkness into Your light.
You are our saving God who leads us in our salvation.
Protect us from evil.

Bless and praise You O Lord, hear our prayers and answer us.
You, our Savior, are the hope of all the ends of the Earth
and the distant seas.
May Your way be known upon Earth;
among all nations Your salvation.

We put the world in Your hands; fill us with Your love.
Grant us peace through Christ, our Lord.

Father I offer this prayer for all those who do not know you
as you have called them to, and in particular for Bill’s son.

Amen.
 
Thank you for all the encouragement.
Your words prayers and thoughts reveal
to my heart Jesus is here and working.
Thanks be to GOD for all of you and may
his blessings return to you all.
 
Dear Bill, God knows your heart and your prayers. He will never let you down. God will do the most perfect thing for you.

You will continue to be in my daily prayers Bill.

James
