I just want to post a plea for prayers for several marriages, including my own. All around me are couples who are fighting, splitting up, being unfaithful. I know this has gone on since the beginning of time, but, gosh, I am seeing an overwhelming increase, at least in my part of the woods. May God enlighten all spouses to see clearly what they need to see, may the angels cast out the evil spirits who are causing so much dissension, and may he give us a heart that forgives and chooses to love the one we promised to love until death. Jesus, Mary, Joseph, help all marriages.

Joining you in prayer, Robin.
Mary, Mother of God, conceived without sin, pray for all those called to the state of holy matrimony, especially wives and mothers. St. Joseph, foster father of Our Lord, pray for husbands and fathers in these troubled times. Jesus, Our Savior, pray for all those who seek You and all who strive to serve You through the vocation of marriage. Impart your blessings upon husbands and wives and send the Holy Spirit, the Consoler, to them during difficult times, that they may persevere in their vocations.
St. Anne and St. Joachim, parents of Our Lady, pray for husbands, wives and parents, particularly those struggling to discern God's will and those who bear the cross of infertility. May your faithful example of devotion and love inspire us all in our vocations.
Loving Father, hear our prayers and the prayers of those who intercede for us. Send Your blessings of peace and reconciliation to all married couples and to all those who are discerning vocations to the married state. We thank You for the examples of the Holy Family and the married saints and beg You to hear their prayers on our behalf.
We ask all of these things through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, born into a loving family and protector of all vocations...Amen.

I know 3 IRL marriages of Catholic homeschooling families that are under heavy attack...and I'm sure there are some that I don't know are struggling. I've never seen anything quite like it.
Praying and thanks, Robin!
Love,

I do think it is a very hard time for marriages to exist in harmony. I think this is a great intention to pray for. I think everyone could use a little prayer in this area.

I am joining you all in prayer. W/in our own hs circle, there have been two marriages hurt and devasted over infidelities.
We are all wondering what is going on...
