You are welcome!

You know, I think he would listen, but it’s going to have to be a powerful speaker…do you have a suggestion?

I HIGHLY recommend the CDs from the Bible Christian Society. Start with “One Church” then “Apostolic Authority and the Pope” and go from there.
Thanks my friend! You are right, I am there for fellowship as well. In the class is a cradle Catholic that I’ve known for years. Back about 8 years ago, I asked him if DH and I could go with them to midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. He was so honored for us to attend, he showed us around, I actually think he was shocked…I look back now, and that was the beginning of my intrigue with the Catholic Church.

I am really surprised at the young couples in my class…yes, husband and wife…let me think…well…everyone is a couple 😦 I think I’m the only single…awww, pray for me now, that has me depressed!

My “class” was just 3 women, the one I mentioned, then another woman who’s dh was cradle Catholic and me. I had my 2 girls with me, but no dh. I’ll be going through the “long” program with dh this year so he’s not all by himself. He missed the chance to join me this summer, which he’s suddenly kicking himself for. :cool:

Aww, John Martinoni…an Alabama fellow… yes, he is good, I’ve been listening to him for years. I hope to meet him one day.

I met Marcus Grodi not long ago. 👍 Super nice fellow!
 
Wow, lots of activity here since I last popped in!

Just saying hello and keeping you all in my prayers before I drive out of town to our tiny dumpy cabin at a lake for the long weekend. I am so looking forward to some family time and quality time with my hubby. He has been working around the clock the past couple weeks, and I have really missed him. I told him so this morning, and realized that us wives have to be the most loving, welcoming spouses we can be. I believe that we can draw our husbands closer with our loving disposition, and then our constant prayers for their faith, along with our example of our faithfilled lives will draw them to the Lord.

We need to always keep this in mind! 🙂

Blessings to all…
 
Hi there,

DJGang, you are so lucky to be at the point that DH is considering RCIA. I think that it might be tough on my DH as well (time wise). He’s in a martial arts group 3 times a week. But he still does not have the desire.

My DH has 1 rosary as well. He keeps it with him. Its the one I used to pray my last novena (I believe it brought us together). Its falling apart but he keeps it with him.

You know what…I met Marcus Grodi not long ago and spoke to him about my conversion and how long it has taken and my concern with my DH…and he said, “In God’s Time”… and I really think that’s what we are all striving for here. Patience as well as perservernce in the conversion of our DH’s…“In God’s Time” what wonderful advice to heed.

Does you DH pray the Rosary? Mine doesn’t. I don’t know the total purpose, but hey…whatever…🤷

Na. He doesn’t know how to say the prayers. You are so lucky to meet Marcus Grodi. 🙂
 
Just finished day 53. One more to go! I have never been able to finish even a 9 day novena without missing a day or two and then giving up. I can’t believe I did this! It must be the support and prayers from all the others on this thread.

Thanks to everyone. I am still praying for all of our spouses. I am going to start another novena shortly after finishing this one. I seem to be a much nicer person since I started this. I know God is working on me, and he definitely has been working on my Husband!
Good luck to all who are just starting out, it has been a blessing!

Wow. Keep it up! 👍 It’s good to hear that you didn’t give up. I am still on the novena as well. Day 15
 
I am going into the last day of the 54 day novena as well, and also have had trouble completing even a 9 day novena!🙂 I agree about the prayer support.
 
Hi all!

I haven’t even done the 9 day Novena (what’s the matter with me??) But – much to my surprise (well, not really because of all of you praying)my husband has been SO MUCH better in many ways. I’m trying not to question why, just accepting his goodness for what it is. I think God will understand why I haven’t been able to pray the Novena with so many illnesses, ER trips, and Dr. appts.

I will keep all of our prayers in prayer in my rosary tonite.

Love,

mom4truth:heart:

Hey, I’m praying the Novena for everyone here…so, you got my prayer today…how’s that? 👍

I received my free green scapular today and immediately placed it under my DH’s side of the bed…

You inspire me with your dedication to the way you always include others on the Prayer Intention thread in your rosary! So that counts too! I am never able to finish novenas but am encouraged by everyone here so I am going to try again starting today. I will pray for all of your intentions, and for everyone here at CAF.

Sincerely,

Maria1212
 
How is everyone?

I find myself not only praying for the conversion of my DH :rolleyes: I find myself praying for our patience with our DHs…kwim?
 
Novena #2 is complete as of today. Wow. It’s going rather quickly. Moving on to #3. I can’t wait to get to the thanking part. There’s so much to be thankful for.
 
I just finished the thanking part. It is the most praying I have ever done for one intention, but probably the most important one.
 
Hi everyone!

Please pray for my husband. He’s a relapse from his being kind and compassionate. Much prayers are needed or I’ll go CRAZY!:banghead:

Many thanks.

DJANG,

Thanks so much for taking my “day” at the Novena. You’re a true gem! I’ll include you in my rosary this a.m. God loves you and so do I!

Love,

Good afternoon, I am just stepping away from the things I am supposed to be doing so I can say hello and offer my encouragement to all who are praying for their spouses. I have about 11 days left in the “thanking” half of the 54 day Novena. I am getting good at getting up and praying that rosary early in the day so I never have to worry I might forget.

If I don’t pop in again this week, I am off to a nice silent retreat from Thursday to Sunday, and will have lots of time to pray for our loved ones.

Keep up the faith and the prayer life, I see people go through RCIA every year in my parish, someone has been praying for all these converts, and their prayers were answered, and ours will be too. 👍

In His Love…🙂

Sandy
