**UPDATE BELOW**

Dear Moms,

I am desperate for your prayers!
I have been dealt a heavy cross. Very heavy. I cannot go into the details, but if you could lift me in prayer all week and offer sacrifices on my behalf, I would greatly appreciate it. If you could ask for the intercession of Our Lady Undoer of Knots, that would be wonderful. This situation is causing me great anxiety and stress--and there is a lot of confusion and misrepresentation that has resulted in some individuals being very angry with me and spreading rumors that are completely untrue. I am begging your for prayers that this clears up peacefully.
The stress of this has completely enveloped our family life and is almost unbearable. I do not know how I can make it!
I have an important meeting regarding this on Wednesday, 4pm EST. Please lift me and another individual in prayer! Please pray for the intercession of Our Lady and St. Francis De Sales.

**************
4-18-13
Thank you ALL so much for your prayers. I felt so covered in prayer before my meeting yesterday. The Lord and Our Lady kept giving me small signs that Our Lady was covering me in her mantle. I was able to clarify what had happened, and my pastor/spiritual director was nearly in tears to hear about the hurt and despair that this situation has caused me. He listened thoughtfully and gave me some practical advice. However, the hearts of many in this situation have been hardened. I have been looking to St. Faustina, Padre Pio, and St Therese for their examples of love in the face of unfair persecution. Please pray that hearts be softened. I think it grieves our Lord so much to see his very faithful children fractured. I can only imagine that it was situations like this that caused His Sacred Heart so much grief in the Agony in the Garden. I do not want to cause His heart hurt...please pray for all involved when you think of it. I don't see this resolving anytime soon, but with prayer, things can turn around.

St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle...

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!! I am so relieved to know I can rely on your sincere prayers and sacrifices. That is such a comfort to me. I wish I knew you all in real life. I wish we could all have tea/coffee together. Your prayers over the years have been such a grace. Thank you!

Been there.      I'm praying with much empathy! May the Holy Spirit cover and guide you and all involved, and may Our Lady send graces to you.
