www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life Prayer She knows....

Your situation is certainly not something which hasn't been experienced by men and women for ages and many of them married. The difference is that during this time there is much encouragement to "out", as you say, about the "gayness". It is considered as therapeutic for the person who has SSA as well as the spouse. I not sure that IS the best way, but it is done now..so...

I echo John's comments about knowing that God loves you and your family.

Nemo, you have asked for prayers and that is what we will do..my husband and I...we will pray for both you and your family... that this can now be resolved in the best possible way for both of you.

May the healing love and mercy of God be shed abroad in your hearts by the Holy Spirit...

Jonn, with all due respect I think this is the wrong answer to give to our anonymous brother. This is not the solution he is looking for--it is a false solution, offered by the Devil in order to deprive him of his reward for how he has struggled so far.

Byzantinemo, I have already started praying for you and your whole situation. I pray that the good God will bring reconciliation and healing to your marriage. Never forget that no matter how hard or long or miserable the struggle is, the prize at the end so far outweighs it that we could not even comprehend the reward in this life.

Life is indeed short and bitter, but if we are faithful the never-ending eternity will be beyond our wildest dreams. Keep fighting, keep confessing, keep casting yourself upon the infinite Mercy of God. Hang in there.

It is hard sometimes to understand and believe that God is all-good and all-merciful and all-loving, but when this life is all over we will understand and see the meaning of everything. Your crown will correspond to the difficulty of your battle.

In Christ,

May God help and strengthen you, and support you and your family in these difficult days.

May I respectfully remind everyone that this forum "prayer" is limited to requests for prayer, and prayers.

Comments, advice, and discussion best belongs other places in this forum (town hall, for example).

thank you,

Everyone,

I know that we are supporting Nemo in prayer in this extremely difficult period in his life. At this point in consultation with another moderator, we think it best to close this thread off for the time being.

Like in other places, besides the offering of prayers, other advice is being given, most of which very few on this forum are in the position to do. Before something is offered that can be detrimental to Nemo's emotional or spiritual well being, it was thought it best to end the thread.

I know Nemo will keep us up to date on the situation. Right now, he needs time to address the issues, and he needs our fervent prayers before the Lord and His Holy Mother to help guide him and heal the situation with his family.

In IC XC,
