Please pray for us as he returns to work after 4 months lay off. It has been wonderful to have him home, and to settle in after the birth of our twins, and am so grateful to God.

I just ask prayers for my husband for the grace to stay strong in the Faith, pure in mind, body and heart, and have the grace to stand for the Truth in all situations. The place he works at is often a morally toxic environment. Pornography in the shop and work vehicles(he takes it down quite a bit), crude language and jokes, swearing constantly, rock music and immoral music on all the time, and the guys are always pointing out immodest women as they are out on jobs(so he gets caught off guard). There is no other jobs available at his wage(and besides these evils are everywhere nowadays), we just work hard at building his spiritual strength to deal with it all.

Please ladies, pray for him in these difficult months. He tries so hard to be a good Catholic husband and father. He is a good man. But he is human, and needs prayer support, like us all.

And please pray for me to be at peace, and not to hurt our relationship by my worries,to have the Holy Spirit's guidance in suporting him, and wisdom to know when to help be his accountability. I am really the only one he has who does this for him(support OR accountability).Please pray for me to know when to do this, and when not;when to be still and just pray for him!

Please pray for our young marriage to weather these trials gracefully!

I know you all are so wonderful in praying, I'm counting on this grace, as I have already experienced
graces by your prayers.

God bless you one and all!
His patron saint is St. John Vianney, mine is St. Catherine of Sienna.

St. Philomena, Pray for us!

St. Agnes and Maria Goretti, Pray for us!

St. Pio, Pray for us!

John Paul II, Pray for us!

Thank you Ladies!

You and your husband are in my prayers! Know that this can be overcome and I will pray your husband can remain strong. It is not easy, my husband has been in a similar "den of vipers" for the past 20 years--and eventually his co-workers finally accepted the fact that he had strong convictions and they actually became quite respectful of him, and he actually has been told that some that they admire his strength and love that he has for his church and family. I attribute alot of this to his devotion to Our Blessed Mother--

I will be offering a rosary for him.

Praying for you and your dh, Pilgrim. It is not easy to be in a work environment as you have described, praying that your husband remains strong and resilient!

Praying for your dh, Pilgrim, and for you as well. This sounds like a very draining situation to work in. I pray that he stays strong in his faith.

Oh, Pilgrim, your heartfelt prayers touch me. I'm certain that your prayers and great concern for your husband's salvation will be heard by all of Heaven who will in turn intercede on your behalf!

I will ask Our dear Mother to grant your husband custody of his eyes and thoughts, that he will be given the strength to quickly flee any temptation that presents itself. And, I will also pray for your young marriage! What a beautiful example you are of a faithful wife whose primary goal is to get her husband to heaven. You are an inspiration to me! May, Our Lady, Help of Christians intercede for you most powerfully!

God bless you!

Pilgrim,

I am joining prayers for my own DH with yours and your husband. My husband too gets bombed with things that are not of God. He has to deal with things that others do not, so I pray to his guardian angel all the time. I ask him to guard his senses in order to remain pure of heart and soul at all times.

I'll be praying for both of you.
