Please pray for our family this Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the holiday week coming with so many family problems. Autistic adults and children. Broken marriages. Bad bad very bad situations between siblings. Small children separated from one or both parents. Please pray for their happiness and ability to cope with their sadness and fear. Recent deaths and severe heightened mental illness. Addiction problems. Lots of moving and traveling on busy highways. A lot of illness. Probably the worst and most stressful Christmas of all. Please pray for the true meaning and Holy Spirit of Christmas to descend from heaven and enter our hearts and minds. Please pray to Our Blessed Virgin Mother, Mary for accepting what was ordained by Our Father God, and bringing forth our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Please let them pour the mantle of peace, love, grace, mercy and forgiveness, faith, hope and joy over all of humankind. I don't feel it one iota. None. My entire family and everyone I see seems to have been stripped of all of those things. Lost, broken, joyless and hopeless.
