Evangelizing My Dad

[tinytherese]

As I mentioned in another thread, my parents are getting divorced. They did counseling years ago, but didn't get very far in improving their relationship. Dad wants to save their marriage.

He hasn't been to Mass in years, and now says he wants to learn how to pray. Dad sees God as his last hope to win mom back. I don't want to give him false hope though. The Lord certainly has the power to reconcile them, but He may not will it to happen.

I don't want to overwhelm him with resources. I'm looking up videos from Ascension Presents like those by Fr. Mike Schmitz that may help him.

He wanted to speak with a priest about our family's situation a while ago. I asked the director of marriage and family life if he knew any priests who were good with helping out in family situations. He gave me a couple names and I asked dad if he wanted to schedule a time to talk with either of them. Both are local. One of them baptized my younger brother and me. One is a spiritual director and the other is training to become one. He decided against it, claiming that he's working on it on his own. I told him that the offer is still there.

Please pray for him.
