Prayer Request

A reader who wrote a few days ago about a young woman in a crisis pregnancy writes:

Thought I’d let you know where things stand regarding my prayer request.

After an ultrasound, the mother decided to keep the baby.  Praise God!!  Now the two of them are figuring out where they’re headed in terms of marriage.  They both still very much need prayer.  They’ve met with her pastor, who openly tells the Catholic young man that he hopes to ‘convert’ him, and she continues to be quite snippy about his faith.  She isn’t willing to meet anyone further or read any books about the Catholic faith, at least at this point.

Father, hear our prayer for grace, wisdom, and guidance for these people as they try to find their way forward and do what is right.  St. Joseph and Mother Mary, pray for them.  Thank you, Father, that she has chosen to give this child life.  We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
