I keep thinking about what Jesus said about the "lukewarm"...but I KNOW that our prayers will oneday be answered...maybe not in our time but in God’s time....I believe He allows things for a certain purpose (other than our free wills)...but I know our prayers WILL be answered. They are both Alcoholic so I know that has a big part in their poor choices...thanks God we have our Faith.
The hardest part for us is to keep our eyes on Jesus amongst the trials of everyday life...prayer is the way..the Rosary and the example of the Saints help also.
