The Miracles Of Prayer

[Pax Christi]

Well, on Sunday after the 9:30 mass I was suprised to see my sister-
in-law who never attended church. Since I have been praying so
diligently every day to God for a blessing and since the scripture
that was read was the "prodical son" I was encouraged enough to
approach her and her new boyfriend. When I said, "Hello" to her she
answered me back in kind as we approached the bottom of the steps
outside of our church. She asked how I was and that is when I began
to cry.....tears of joy and pain. She grabbed me in her arms and
hugged me so tightly and she wept with me. It was a great feeling as
I told her, "I thought you hated me" and to hear her reply, "No, I
love you. I know what is happening to you, your children and my
sister and I don't like it."
It had been over a year since we spoke and we spoke for over an hour
about all the terrible things that were occuring in my life and the
graces I was receiving from God. Our being reunified IS such another
blessing.
She asked me to be with her and her boyfriend next week at mass as
I've been sitting by myself. She also said that she will be glad to
help me in any way that she can concerning my girls and would ask my
youngest to go to church with us as a "family".
What JOY I have! In the midst of such sorrow God has lifted me up! To
have an in-law who agrees with me and denounces what is happening has
given me a new level of hope. I KNOW that God is working on my
marriage and that my prayers will eventually be answered!
My sister-in-law has seen how distant my wife has become towards
everyone, including her who was once very close, and will be reaching
out to her soon.
Please, continue to pray for me, Lucinda, Bethany, Deanna and now
Amy. Prayers ARE being answered!
Thanks!
