If you could offer a prayer for a Catholic homeschooling mum in Australia, she has a teenage son who has caused alot of grief and sorrow, things are reaching a crisis at present, praying that this dear boy will reconcile with faith and family!

Oh dear, what a heartache for this mom! Praying for her son and for his mom and his entire family that surely must be suffering greatly.

Keep praying ladies - this family is only just starting to work through the situation.
The boy has been fed a whole lot of lies by extended family, you could say he has been brainwashed. Pray that he is able to see through those lies, turn, and come back to his parents and the Church.

Anne, this family and in particular, the son, have been in my prayers. I can only imagine how much this poor woman is grieving. May the Holy Spirit guide, heal and strengthen them all.

i thank all of you for your prayers.
we continue to need more.
Its a real cruel blow when other family members attack at the very soul of our being, the very thing we were created to be, in family.
God Bless you all,
Leanne

I continue to pray as well, Leanne. How heartbreaking this must be for your mommy heart! Asking Our Lady of Sorrows to cover you and gently lead your son back into the light of Truth.

I am so sorry, Leanne. Thank you for the update...it is a privilege to pray for your intentions. I am including your request in my novena to St. Monica.

Love,
