My wife and I are married for 5 yrs.We don't have children.In the middle of infertility treatment she left me suddenly and went to her parents home without any specific reason.We never had any serious fight over anything.I tried to reconcile.But didn't work out.One day thru a lawyer she informed me that she wanted mutual consent divorce.I was deeply shocked and hurt.Unwillingly I had to sign the divorce petition.The first phase of the divorce is over and court has given us 6 months time for reconciliation.Already 2 months are over.My wife's parents are also supporting for divorce.I still love her very much and am trying to reconcile.But her attitude is negative.Please pray for my wife and her parents to change their minds and for the resoration of our marriage in JESUS name.

"Holy Mary, full of the presence of God during your life you accepted with great humility the Holy Will f the Father and the legacy of your Son Our Lord Jesus Christ. Evil never dared to entangle you with its confusion.Since then you have interceded for all of our difficulties. With all simplicity and patience you have given us example on how to untangle the knots in our complicated lives. By being our Mother forever, you arrange and make clear the path that unites us to Our Lord. Holy Mary, Mother of God and ours, with your maternal heart untie the knots that upset our lives. We ask you to receive in your hands the untying of the knots in my marriage and deliver us from the chains and confusions that have us restrained. Blessed Virgin Mary, through your grace, your intercession and by your example, deliver us from evil and untie the knots that keep us from uniting with God, so that once free of every confusion and error, we may find Him in all things, have Him in our hearts and serve him always in our brothers and sisters. Mother of Good Counsel pray for us . Amen

Hold nothing back. Please help my life to work out alright. Show me my path, perfect me in virtue, strengthen me in holiness, and dispense to me the gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially wisdom, understanding, and fortitude. Help me to find gainful employment, to get married, and further the rights of Christ and his Church. Dear Mother, I draw upon you for my daily strength and all my needs. Mother Mary, I love you.
