Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Mother! We sorrow and grieve for those who have lost the faith. Through God's mercy, console us in our time of suffering, and bring those children back to the Lord!

God Did Not Create Evil

Pray for your loved ones

Father John Bartunek has an excellent post in his Catholic Spiritual Direction blog on what to do when a family member has fallen away from the Faith. He suggests prayer and clarifies the importance of right intention and understanding in our prayer.
He also suggests having Masses said for the person, praying a novena or going on a pilgrimage.

Stop by and read his post and never give up!

Prayer For Loved Ones at Easter

There are so many people who have, perhaps, worshiped with us in the past, during the Holy Triduum, but now have lost their faith.

May the Crucified and Risen Lord touch them with His Love and invite them back to the Church.

May God give them the strength to forgive wrongs done to them by others and the desire to come back to His Mercy and to fully experience His Love.

We ask this in the Name of Christ Our Lord.

~Amen

Maybe It's God

Maybe it's God who has planted the seed of longing to be back with Him. Hat tip to Fr. Joe Jenkins.

For St. Valentine's Day

Why do we beleive in God?
