Prayer Requests

I saw briefly that you’d posted a noted about requesting prayers for my Mom. Thanks so much. I’m headed back there tonight since she’s being moved out of the hospital to a physical therapy facility tomorrow (a good thing). Prayers for her continued recovery are requested and appreciated!

Father, speed her recovery to full health through our Lord Jesus. Thank you that her condition has improved! Mother Mary and St. Luke, pray for her and for all who care for her and love her.

My brother is going through a nasty divorce. He tried to get her to counseling and she went to one session and wouldn’t go back. She’s physically abusive while he walked away and avoided taking the bait (mostly out of fear she’ll use it to claim he’s abusive). Then after he latest bout of physical violence when he threatened to call the police, she left and filed a domestic violence report on him and a restraining order keeping him from his children. I’ve listened to him for well over a year agonizing over the disintegration of his marriage and desperately wanting to avoid it. He’s finally filed for divorce because he can’t take it anymore.

Please pray for upcoming hearings on the domestic violence charge and restraining order. The boldness in which she lies is breathtaking and he truly needs God’s help to overcome the damage she’s done.

Father, grant your healing to the people in this situation and give them guidance on what is prudent and just and loving. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Holy Family, pray for them.
