My oldest daughter told us today that she resumed her dating relationship with the neopagan man. In fact, she told us that they had only been apart for 3 weeks when they broke up the first time (my first prayer request to the list back in November) then they got back together.
She has been hiding this from us since around December.
Needless to say are hearts are broken. Please offer a prayer for her and for us so we know what to say and do. She is again thinking of leaving the Church because she feels there is no way that the Church will sanction this relationship. She wants her "happiness" here and now and refuses to see anything beyond that.
Thank you for your prayers!

Marian, I will put her in my daily rosary and offer Mass for her this evening. Keep the faith - God works in his time - I know this sounds trite but my son was on meth about 8 years ago and Our Lady came through for me and he is clean and has been for 8 years - I tell you this very personal thing to give you hope.
God bless

Thank you all for your prayers! Any more that you can offer in your charity will be very much appreciated.
My daughter called us 20 minutes before we were to pick her up for Mass today to tell us that she was not going to Mass with us but with him to a "gig" in another town.
Up until now we've seen her most every week for Mass and lunch. I guess she figures that since she owned up to what she was doing, she doesn't have to go to Mass with us anymore.
Thank you for your continued prayers. She is definitely blinded and can't see anything else besides what she wants to do. She feels it's ok to spend time with this man and his son (they were all together on Friday), but she has no time for her own family. It's like she's building her own little family with him even though they're not married, and we get shuffled to the side.
In addition, please pray that the Lord heals her of any hurts she has. I know that she also feels that no one else will want her because of what she's doing. I told her that we love her and she can always come home to us.
God bless you all!

Please offer another Hail Mary for my daughter if you can. I found out today that she has embraced paganism.

| I have prayed a Hail Mary for your daughter. I know her initials from a prior post, and will continue to pray for her to return to the church, to turn away from this man and the lifestyle she is embracing that will hurt her. I know your heart is breaking. Remember St. Monica and hold on.

Thanks for your prayers. They all mean so very much. Please pray that God be merciful to her and that she not despair of His mercy.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
