Dear Sisters in Christ,

With a humble heart, I am appealing for your mercy and sincere prayers to Jesus for me.

I am very sad because of my marriage relationship with my wife, Carole Lina, seem to be falling apart, crumbling and crushing to the ground. I love my wife of 28 years and I never cheated on her. We had a beautiful life together until Rebecca (my stepdaughter, age 29) was re-united with Carole and has been financially dependent on us in years. I thought we’d be a happy family together but Carole’s daughter breaks us apart and convinces her mother to find a better man for financial support. I grew up prayerful and I shared my strong faith to God with my wife until she finally stopped praying with me.

As I get closer to God, my shoulders get heavier and painful from the weight of my cross. I get nervous, very fearful and scared of people knocking at my door, I don’t know why. My fears arrived and haunted me when I received a letter from Berks Courthouse.

I sincerely want my wife back because I love her. I pray that we would be together again as husband and wife, loving and caring for each other much. I pray that Carole stays with me and prays with me than listen to ill advices of wrong people. I treasure 28 years of our relationship thru thick and thin, in sickness and in health, thru all sadness and laughters. I want to save our relationship though we experienced trials and tribulations. I rebuke and I cast away all evil spirits and satan around us, the evil spirits of divorce, the evil spirits of court hearings and the evil spirits of financial problems, in Jesus Most Holy Name, Amen. May I humbly ask that we be included in all your daily recitations of prayer, masses and novenas.

Please pray for me and for Carole that we will get thru all these difficulties. I beg you all, have mercy on us, pray for us to Jesus, Amen.

Sincerely,

Ed Ballentos

Dear Ed,
Yes, please be assured that I am praying for you during these trying times. Seek peace from the Lord and rely totally on Him. Go to Mary and give her your troubled heart. She will take your hand and lead you to her Son. My Masses, communions, and rosary will be offered for your intentions.

During this time, I would recommend seeking counsel either from a good priest or marriage counselor. Don't go it alone but seek help for yourself first. God will give you His strength to carry you through these difficult times.

God bless and may His peace guide you.

In Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

Michelle
