I would like to share with you something wonderful. My son
stopped going to Mass when he was about 13 years old. As he grew
up, he grew further away from us and when he was 20 he left home
to live in a bedsit. He got involved with the wrong crowd. We
missed him terribly. He did not come to see us much, he was like
a stranger. I kept praying for him and many of my friends kept
on persevering. I could not talk to him about Jesus, he did not
want to know. For 11 years we continued to pray. He is now 24.
Last summer, he came home. He was not feeling well. He was going
through a traumatic time. He stayed home for a few days. He then
said he wanted us to pray over him, so we did. From then on it
has not stopped. He wanted to know more about Jesus. He completely
left his old style of living and has gone to do a discipleship
course at a Christian Community. What happened to him was a miracle.
I want to praise and thank the Lord for what he has done for
my son. He is like a new person now. He was lost but now is found.
Never ever give up persevering in prayer. The power of prayer
has changed his life. Nothing else could ever have done that.
