A Mother’s Prayer That Never Stops (Family Rosary Across America)

On the Family Rosary Across America, Monique from Chicago called in with a heart full of faith — and longing. She shared three intentions: peace in the world, prayers for the souls in purgatory, and reconciliation with her son, from whom she has been separated for decades.

“I’m praying that God will change his heart,” she said.

Her voice carried both sorrow and hope, a reminder of the quiet crosses many carry. Alongside these intentions, she also entrusted a financial need to prayer and assured the Relevant Radio family of her daily intercession for them.

Fr. Rocky responded with compassion and confidence: “We’re going to pray for all of that.”

In that moment, Monique’s story became more than a list of intentions. It became a witness to perseverance in prayer. Even after years of silence, she continues to hope, trust, and love.

Her call reminds us that God hears every prayer and that no distance, whether spiritual or relational, is beyond His reach.
