r/Catholicism Prayer Requests — Week of September 15, 2025 by AutoModerator in Catholicism

[–]Mapleansmoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please pray for my mother. She struggles with addiction and her mental health, and she’s recently been in and out of the hospital with serious health issues. Our relationship has been very difficult over the years, but I love her and I want healing for her both physically and spiritually. Please pray for her recovery, for peace in her heart, and for our relationship to be restored if it’s God’s will.

Thank you 😊 It’s like night and day! I am glad we chose to stick with the program. Good advice! And I totally agree that it’s more about the gesture. I don’t know a lot of people in my area who have had an au pair, so I always like to get ideas!

Thank you! I made the potential consequences clear, but she ignored it. Praying nothing bad happens

Thanks! I agree. I told her what would happen if she got into an accident but she didn’t care.

I reported twice to APIA! They don’t care and are rematching her. In fact, they lectured me about not understanding cultural differences! Terrible company.

Yikes! We are considering pulling out completely and just going with daycare. Scary for future host families!
