Hello, friends.

I have recently discovered that my father has been cheating on my mother, and they are getting a divorce. Dad has some personality disorders and is possibly a real danger to her financially and emotionally.

Please pray for me, for the consolation of my mother and brother, and forgiveness for my father.

God bless you and your family. This prayer may help a little.

The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis

"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace! Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is discord, harmony. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sorrow, joy.

Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."

I have been there man, I'll pray for you in adoration tonight!

Hold tight to your faith, the suffering will make you stronger in Christ!

PS: remember, you are who you are, your parents are not you. You are not your parents.

Ask St. Dymphna to intercede, regarding the personality disorders. (I've been asking her for assistance with my mom's bipolar problem for a year, and my mom is doing great now.)
