Prayers for Prodigal Catholics Give Thanks! Good News! You told us… To help us persevere in prayer
and hope, we share some of the reports of answered prayer we receive. For
privacy, no names are used. If you have news, please let us know . I am filled with hope and gratefulness as my daughter and her husband are returning to the church. Her teenage children are baptized Catholics, but had no Catholic education, nor have they received any of the other sacraments. They are both now enrolled in classes for confirmation and hopefully will receive first Reconciliation and Communion in the next several months. I pray, and ask for prayers that this all goes well. ~Kansas Shortly after I joined this group, I told my mom about it. I called her after one of our prayer sessions, and she was excited. My niece said she would like to start going [to mass] so her children could be raised in the Catholic Church. They are definitely filled with the idea and intention. When I started praying with this group, I never even thought about them, but then God does work in mysterious ways. ~Kansas My son and his wife decided to attend midnight mass with the family on Christmas. Last year we sent them an email telling them we’d love to have them with us if they ever decided they would like to come along. We have said nothing else about it, but have been praying the rosary novena for their return to the Church for over a year. Don’t know what they will do after Christmas, but this is a start of answered prayer. ~Kansas My daughter and husband are attending mass regularly again. I’ve done or said nothing but began to pray, pray, pray! Praise God! ~Missouri My cousin who had married outside the Church 42 years ago, has returned after the death of her husband. She began her road back by praying the rosary. ~Illinois ♥
