BeeSweet, how wonderful for you, i will keep praying.

Remember this, if it brings you one thing, let it bring you hope that in his heart there still lies the mustard seed of hope.

In some marriages, we are not even given the glimps of such seeds.

If it brings more that simple hope, a huge amount of praysers will be answered.

Sorry for going backwards today, I’m a strong man that seems to be a hopeless little boy right now.

You’re at least a generation younger than i had imagined!

And once a husband, always a husband…you know the path!

Dear BeeSweet:

I will keep praying that your husband goes to counseling. It looks like there might be a light at the end of the tunnel, huh? I agree with Rammy. That little mustard seed can turn into something really great! We’ll be keeping the faith for you! God bless you and have a Happy Father’s Day with dh!

Rammy:

You are TOO funny! I love that post to 1/2! You took the words right out my mouth! I am praying for your needs also, dear one! Have a good day!

To all fathers out there: Happy Father’s Day - and be kind to your wives! Much love,
 
Prayer to Saint Joseph for all sick husbands to find help.

O glorious St. Joseph,
friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
thou whose power renders impossible things possible,
come to our aid in our present trouble and distress.
Take these important and difficult affairs
which we recommend to your protection,
that they may end happily.

O dear St. Joseph,
all our confidence is in you.
Let it not be said that we have invoked you in vain,
and since you are so powerful with Jesus and Mary,
show that your goodness equals power.

Amen.

St. Joseph, friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
pray for us and for all who invoke your aid.

**PRAYER TO ST. MONICA

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

the conversion of my husband, healing and salvation of our marriage, and the strong faith of our son, the conversion of all sinners in our families and of the spouses being prayed for here by CAF members,**

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.

Amen.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Jesus, I trust in You!

Sore, sleepy and tired…that’s me. Got so much done in the basement for the move, and had a small task to finish up the basement…6 bins. OMGoodness, it was all of my sons baby pick, mixed in with funeral cards, mass cards, report cards…

I lost it crying and could not stop. My kids were so saddened, and i could not get controle. They simply rubbed my back and played with my hair. It has been years since i did that. Oh yes i cry, byut this was sobbing. It was just to many directions at one time. Birth, school, death, and afterwards. I just wanted HIM.

I asked for the gift to endure, and it stopped so fast, i felt stupid. It was THEE fastest i ever had this prayer answered. My husband came down stairs, and said, are we ready to go…i had forgotten it was fathers day, and we had planned to go out for dinner. So here i was smileing, with swollen eyes…what a contradiction!

He was funny, and said, “I am on time…right?..did i forget something?” and i said no, just memories in these bins i said.

He said, “whew, thought i was in the doghouse!” Well i laughted, and said, “nope, not at all…for now any how!”

He said, “good, i have all of supper time to think up some excuses!”

Amber pipes in, “wow, now aren’t these guys crazy…happy sad and silly…mommy, do boys have normone issues too, or is daddy just silly?”

needless to say, we all lost it laughing, even the smallest, who just joined in, and had no idea what we were laughing at.

That was my day…praying for all here in this thread, present or not.

Dear Mom4Truth,

I have prayed to St. Therese of the Little Flower. My life keeps getting more and more complicated with problems that I cannot control and that I am not dealing very well with. Another issue popped up today to start off my Father’s Day morning that I am so sick of I cannot even discuss.

That you all for your words of wisdom and prayers. I ask that everyone just put in a little prayer for me and my son that all of our miseries with my wife please end somehow.

I think it is best for all now that my marriage be over, it already has been for three plus months now. I was just too blind to see that until today. The relentless sinful things that she has done to us both makes me sad and has now forced me to give up hope for us. The way someone can misuse the legal system nowadays is so frightening to me that I am at a loss for words.

I pray that I can make it through tonight, tomorrow, and through the entire divorce process with no more additional pain caused to myself or my son.
 
Know this, if it is Gods Will, then it will be done. If this is not good for you, or there is much for her or YOU to learn being apart, then this too will be shown.

You can not say you did not try, this is very evident, but sometimes, while we are in the midst of the pain, we can not see that by holding so tight, it is the main reasons for being hurt so deeply. What i mean to say is there is always two sides. If she hurts you, it is her fault, but if she hurts you over and over again, some responsability must be shared on your account.

No one likes to hear, by staying, they share in the responsibility of this pain. Walking away allows you to take responsibility for your own part in this. You do right by yourself and your son if it is her choice to walk. When she walks alone, she must solely accept responsability for her own actions.

Although her type often blame the world for everything that went wrong in their lives, rather than seeing the gift of life God gave them. To whine means they still see the “I” in life. It is in not seeing onself, but others that we lear to really learn Gods love.

Be at peace, even though you feel so beaten. This sucess in life is not guaged by a marriage sucess. This sucess will be measured by how deeply you tried. The failure lies in not trying, and wounding others in order to gain life sucess. She did this.

I have to think God is quite proud of how you tried, but he also wants you to be well, he loves you to, and your son. He will not want you to suffer and your son, just to make one of his children happy. sometimes enough is enough…but only prayer will give you this true answer.

Hello everyone!
Just checking in with you all. Hope things have improved for some of you at least. I miss the conversations but am trying to get my head around the complex disorder my h has.
Still praying for you all.
Prayers for conversions and healings.
God bless,
Jules
 
Our Secretary has done a fly by posting…hehe!

I was pleasantly surprised to see your post, so thank you dear.
Praying for everyone here as well. Just a quick note. The thunder storms turned to huge hail, and power out yesterday. I was not home and my computer was on…fried something, but after a day trying on my own, i phoned the internet people. They fixed everything except the router…seemes it’s possessed or something. No word of a lie.

Seems without it, and directly hooked up, my computer works, but slower than a snale…like 10 min per page load. But with router hooked up to it…is ceases to work at all, BUT allows the computer in the other room to work…spooky eh?

Broken, yet sends a signal to another computer.

Or maybe God knew how important it is for me to be here.
Ok, important to my sanity, that is…lol

So i will be trying to fix everything, if i am not here, it is because i BROKE something. I will be here if able…ok!

Blessings to everyone!
 
Hi everyone,

thank you!!! Blessings to all of you!

Please pray for my temper…knowing better, i was bribed into a conversation with my husband over the phone. He hates any type of controversy, or tension…he is the master at avoiding people and issues. Yet he bated me over and over again, and i was too tired to not see the signs…he’d been drinking.

I know, never argue with a drunk, but i argued before i knew he was drunk. Oy…

It ended with me thretening him that if he came near the house, i would use his head to holster every screwdriver i could find in the house…he laughed…so i said, “don’t come home!” (threw my teeth) and he said something to the effect that i was to dumb to notice something…i still could not make out what that was…but ended the conversation telling him to blow himself…

I KNOW…i shouldn’t have, I get so volitile when i see him bateing me on, and all the digs are at how insignificant, and replaceable i am, because i never do anything right…

Then i realize, he would not dare say this to me sober, or think most of it. It is like he is jeckle and hyde when he drinks verses sober…but it is the drunk man that i resent…i half wonder what the sober side even thinks of this. Besides it is all made up!

Not what i wanted, not lady like, not acceptable, just not right.

I am three weeks into this readying for the move we are making in a few weeks…he usually just arrives, allots me a few hours, and in the middle of mayham, he goes to sleep. This time he is going to rent me a cube van, and not even show up.

So tired, in so much pain, can hardly walk, sleep, or even eat. My head is spinning, i am so completely overwhelmed, and each day i am hanging on by a thread…and then get this attitude from him, as he sits back downing a few beers, and then decides to grade me…

I feel for his sober side, i could kill the other side, and i am stuck inbetween…love him, stay committed to him, and throw him to the curb, life would be so much easier without him…

I just want a normal husband, comes home, builds a life together, wants to see me, and mostly, loves me unconditionally.

This is my chief desire, to be loved for every part of me…this is why i try this with him…

I am so frazzed right now…shaking, and so beside myself.

please help me, and ask God to help me get a grip on my temper when he gets like this.

Oh, dear Lana! I am so sorry and I SOOOOO know what you are talking about. Thank God my DH has chosen to keep his drunk self away from me for the past six months of our in house separation. I can be thankful for that.

Your husband baits you with words and so does mine. Mine writes his words and at times, when he is drinking, pulling his meaning or his intent from what he is writing is nearly impossible. I wish he would save all of his tomes for sober writing. He is a beautiful writer and really can put into words some amazing thoughts. I reminded him of his gift last week when I showed him the letter he wrote to me on our 25th wedding anniversary. It went with the gift he gave me and it was HIM in that letter. I had recently found the letter when I was sorting through pictures to get into albums, and I keep it next to my bed and read it almost every day as a reminder of how I know he feels, of how I know he does love me and how I know he treasures me over everything else in his life. When I told him this, it brought a tear to his eye and I think I finally connected with some of my words.

Stay strong Lana. We both have to and we both have to just let go with both hands when we give our husbands to God! We have a tendency to hang onto a tiny thread and yank them back when we suddenly think our words or deeds are going to be the solution to the problem again. Instead, we should just essentially let go and turn our backs so we aren’t tempted to grab back on. God has a plan and we have to keep reminding ourselves of this. We need to look for the good in every day, even when we have to look really really hard. The good is always there because God is always there.

I’m praying for you as always, and all of you wonderful strong spouses who populate the St. M’s thread.
 
Lana,
I’m praying really hard for you, hon. I agree with Debbie. Don’t let dh bait you into a scuffle with words. They only come back to bite you and then dh will use them against you. You have to be the bigger person that God made. Let his ugly words come back at him. Eventually, if you don’t give in to his evil lashings, he’ll get tired of it and end up talking to himself (hopefully). You’ve got to hang in there and ask the Holy Spirit each day to give you strength and courage. Before you talk to him, bless yourself with some holy oil or holy water. Pray to St. Michael before you even talk to him. (I do this myself - it works). Don’t let the devil get the best of you!!! We’re all praying for you.

Much love,

Lana,

I’m praying for you, I know it is so hard not to bite back! When they feel bad, they will try to bring you down with them, and it just goes deeper and deeper. Try the exercise I mentioned last week if you are able, it may give you some peace. I pray that we are all able to feel the Holy Spirit upon us during these difficult incidents.
