    I pray that me, my wife, and daughter will be reunited for the holidays and that there will be a restoration in our relationships. We also suffer in poverty so I pray God will answer in whatever way he sees fit. I also pray for the salvation of my wife (Riley) and daughter (Brielle). I have not held them in nearly 6 months and pray that my wife can love me again.

    Dear Chrisslover,

    I feel your hurt, my friend. I hope and pray that you may be reunited and find the financial means to make ends meet.

    In the meantime, the best thing I can suggest is to visit, as frequently as possible, Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament at your nearest Catholic Church that has "visitation" hours during the day.

    Kind regards,
    A.B.
