My daughter

[hawko]

I am extremely concerned about the welfare of my daughter's soul. She has been having sex with her boyfriend and has moved in with him for the past two years. She has also stated to me that she has renounced her being a (Catholic) Christian. She is 22 years old and I fear for the salvation of her soul.

It sounds like there's nothing you can do except be patient and pray for her and ask for the intercession of the saints so they can pray for her, too. You can also have Masses offered for her. Many who leave the Catholic faith leave because it's an obstacle to a sin they are engaged in.

I agree with Struggling Sinner.

Your daughter is not alone. There is a pandemic of people abandoning God for Satan. Satan really is really a symbol for man's evil pride on earth. People think that Jesus loves them to much to ever let them go to hell. Thus they wander off into sin.

I really believe that Messianic Reign is coming soon, within years. When Jesus takes over as King and Ruler of the world, Israel comes running home to God. Israel meaning God's people.

I would pray for God's deliverance of His people, from Satan, into 'Thy Kingdom Come', on earth. There is a prayer for this. It is the Lord's Prayer, the Our Father.

I prayed for my son and his friends to grow closer to the Lord. After that their apartment became haunted and they called me at 2 am to come over and pray with them because they were so afraid. We did a rosary and novena. His friends were converted away from their pagan/atheism. They now have a huge pic of Jesus on the wall and read the bible. They've hung a rosary on the wall for everyone to see. Something they never would of done before.
God knows just how to handle this situation. Pray that He converts them and He will know exactly how to reach them.
God Bless,
C J

I too believe that the return of the Lord is near; and that's what concerns
me the most, that the Lord would return when my daughter is in a state of mortal sin.

Well, don't fear for her because it ain't over till it's actually over. She's 22... she has a lot of growing and learning to do. A lot of living to do. You need to TRUST more, fear less.

The last thing you want to do is be judgmental or to disown her and don't nag her every time you see her, about how she's going to hell. You have no say in that and you don't know frankly. So chill. Just love her because she is your child. No good Christian worth his salt is going to act a fool and drive a wedge between him and his child.

She's knows where you stand, now let it go and be her dad. Pray for her and offer up your trails for her but don't keep freaking out on her. Be an example of what a Christian is and it's not one who is judgmental, spewing hell fire all over the place. Be a happy guy who is at peace. Make her interested in wanting to be a Christian. Don't give her good reason to run from it. Don't be all like, the worlds gonna end because she is living with some dude. God will give her time and so, so should you.

Will pray for you both.

The seeds of faith have been planted.
They are in the Lord's Hands.
HE knows their heart and mind, struggles and questions.
Pray, hope, and don't worry (P Pio)

hello hawko,

Armageddon is not Doomsday (Doomsday meaning the end of man's free will on earth). The Battle of Armageddon is where Satan is dethroned as the leader of the world and Jesus takes over as King and Ruler of the world. Though we have to go through the three days of 'darkness' which is tribulation, Christ's Rule on the other side of Armageddon will be magnificent.

With Jesus enthroned as King and Ruler of the world, their will be walls of auto-anathemas hurling the wicked into hell, but the gates to 'Thy Kingdom Come', which is the Sacrament of Reconciliation, will stand firm. When we go into Armageddon, do all that you can to have your daughter close to a priest for her confession. Her confession to a priest will bring her into the coming Kingdom of our Lord. Once inside new born Zion, she will be protected, physically and spiritually, from the tribulation going on outside Christ's Church. This is what is meant when Jesus tells us to run to Him when we see Him coming in the clouds in His Power and Glory. The way we run to Jesus is through the Sacraments of His Church primarily Reconciliation and Baptism. The Church metamorphoses into Zion under Jesus' Rule. God Promises to protect, Zion, Zion is 'Thy Kingdom Come', when Satan realizes his power over the world on earth is over and Jesus now Rules the world. With Jesus, a descendant of King David, Ruling the world, Israel is restored and Zion is born. Satan, which Satan is man's evil pride on earth, presently ruling the world, is going to be on the rampage when this happens.

Bringing Israel home to God is what The Battle of Armageddon and Messianic Reign is all about. In the post Armageddon world, people are flocking to Jesus, through the gates of new born Zion, which are the gates of Christ's Sacrament of Reconciliation. Jesus will Rule with and through His Church, the Catholic Church, under Messianic Reign. Jesus will bring many Home to God under His Rule. Jesus will Rule on earth for tens of thousands of years and then forever in heaven. Hallelujah!

There's not really anything that can be done.
It is in the end your daughters decision.

Just be nice and try not push the issue too much.

 

[Fantine]

Keep the lines of communication open and let her know that you will always love her even if you have some areas of disagreement.

I've never seen an estranged parent turn a child's life around.

 

[benedictaoo]

yep. You have to be in their life to have a positive influence on them.

Lord I pray for Hawko's daughter. I pray Lord that you will send your Angels to watch over her.

At this point, your daughter's an adult and has to make her own way in life. If you two have a good relationship, you should always feel like you can give her some gentle guidance and advice. In the end though, if you come on too strong, she's likely to feel like she needs more distance, and not less, from Christianity.

A lot of young people these days do not marry, when they would like to, because of the expectations related to weddings and their cost.

This may or may not be the case with your daughter, but if it were, it might be something you could address.

And just like senior citizens, they sometimes marry (or fail to marry) for financial reasons.

Single mothers can often get food stamps and WIC and other assistance as long as they aren't married (which would increase their income, but often not enough to bring them into the middle class).

On the other hand, I know one young man who got married at 21 because his parents wouldn't pay for his college education and the only way he could qualify for financial aid before age 24 was by proving 'emancipation' by getting married. He married a co-worker in the same predicament--no love involved--but the story had a happy ending because they are still together and have grown into loving one another.

Just like the quandary faced by senior citizens. I have a family member 'living in sin' because she can get Social Security divorced widow benefits at age 60...but if she were married, she couldn't get any Social Security until age 62. And even when she turns 62, she can hold off on getting her own higher SS benefit until age 66 if she stays with the divorced widow benefit.

In tough economic times, people play games to survive.
