My family is being torn as of late. Our oldest has left the faith, still lives in our house, and his issues with Religion and the next steps of his life are making the lives of all of us unhappy to one degree or another. All our prayers, novenas and other, concrete attempts to heal familial wounds and bring him back to the truth have so far been for nought, and the other children are being affected. I don\u2019t know where else to turn, and want God so much to touch our family again and make it whole. So, if you can, please pray for us. And if you can, put it out on your site, so others can pray for us too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, help this family find the wisdom and love to heal the wounds and divisions that have occurred.\u00a0 Give their children the grace of faith and bring them in peace to your altar through Christ our Lord.\u00a0 Mother Mary, St. Monica, and\u00a0St. Augustine, pray for them.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
