Praying for your DH, St. Gabriel. I am so sorry to hear about your husband. Praying to St. Monica for his conversion and praying to Sacred Heart of Jesus for his recovery. Praying for you and your family to the Holy Family.
 
I am going to go ahead and wish everyone a Merry Christmas now since I know some of you will be leaving out of town.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Praying for all of you!! 😃

Yessisan, I am very sorry to hear that your husband has had a change of mind. I will pray to St. Monica for your DH.

I completely understand what you mean by the part of your message that I put in bold. I really don’t understand how people can be swept away into another religion before getting to know their own. I have family and friends that have done the same. I pray to St. Monica for them too. I pray to St. Monica for my DH too because even though he is a cradle Catholic, he is lukewarm. He doesn’t get as excited about our faith as I wish he would. I love being Catholic! 🙂 I pray to St. Monica and St. Rita for him all the time.

I will keep your DH in my prayers that he will come back home to the faith and see how important it is for you two to raise your kids Catholic. I pray also that he sees that God is not punishing him or you with losing the baby. God is a loving God, and he would not do something like that. If anything, I think God would want to see your husband back in the Catholic faith since the Catholic Church is the One True Church established by Jesus. But even then, God is not going to punish your DH for not being in the Catholic Church because God loves him so much that he is not going to force your DH to do anything. God wants your husband to have free will and to chose to come home to the faith by his own free will.

Praying for your DH to have understanding of this.

If you could pray for my DH too, I would truly appreciate it. 😉

Blessings to you.

You know, last time I had written here (about 8 months ago) is when DH had just gone back to them but he only went back for a few weeks on, a few off and back on and then since May he hadn’t gone.

It is sad how he thinks God is punishing him for not going to those meetings. I did try to explain to him that God isn’t how the JWs say he is. He’s not a jealous god, or angry god, or one who makes mistakes. He is a LOVING God and he is MERCIFUL. I told him to please not think God is punishing him. I tried to make him understand that maybe God’s plan for Julian was already met on the 2 short months we had him, maybe there was something wrong w/him, maybe the car accident did it, but like my grandma said, “If God wants you to keep that baby, no matter how hard you fall or how bad of an accident you have, you’ll keep that baby”.

Isn’t it sad he thinks that way? Since he was taken away from the faith by his mom at such early age, he never got the chance to have his own opinion of the CC, now all he knows is because of the JWs (whichis all negative) and the things I have told him (which are all positive).

Anywho, thank you for keeping us in your prayers, you anr your DH will be in mine for sure. I pray to ST Monica, to St Jude and to St Toribio Romo (a Mexican Saint). I also pray to my little baby up there. So you’ll have many many prayers your way so your DH will get excited about his faith and be able to share it all with you.

God bless you Cagrl!!!

Thank you for your prayers, Yessisan. You are a sweet girl. 😉

You know, your gradnma is a very wise woman. She is right. It is very, very true what she told you about the baby. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I went through some REALLY( physically and emotionally) hard times, and I was always scared that I might lose her because of that… but you know, God made sure she stayed with me. So If God wants someone to stay with us or go with Him, He makes sure that happens.

Praying for you and your DH.
Merry Christmas!
 
Merry Christmas All!

PRAYER TO ST. MONICA

Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,

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,

and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,

one God, forever and ever.

Amen.
 
Dear :Lamb,
Praying hard for you and your husband. How sad! God will help you out tremendously, I know. Also, praying for all the others on this thread and hoping everyone has a blessed Christmas!

Well, today is the last day of my Thanksgiving Novena to St. Monica.

I will continue my intentions in my daily prayers, and I ask all of you to continue to pray for me and my husband. Things have not gone well since he decided to drink after his 30 day commitment. He has drank, two days since. He is mad at me and is isolating himself from me.

I believe my marriage is under attack by satan and I am struggling to keep my focus. I’ll pop in here to pray for other wives intentions. Thanks to all of you who have been praying for us.
