Let Us Pray

Together, let us pray for the needs of our brothers and sisters.
Please remember these intentions in your daily prayers.

  1. Please pray for Yesenia and her son Isaac who are going through a lot. Isaac is a young teenage boy who suffers from spinal bifida and Yesenia is barely a young woman who has medical ailments of her own. Isacc's dad is not supportive and makes him feel shameful for his condition. His peers at school bully him for his condition and Isaac is so desperate to fit in that he's starting to get into drugs to cope with the pain. He now is starting to have suicidal thoughts. Yesenia works two jobs to support her kids. She's so stressed she's starting to lose her hair and she's in pain all the time with her illnesses. She's doing her best to be there for Isaac but i can see she's losing faith. She's a lukewarm Chrisitan and ive been trying to help deepen her faith but with all that she's going through i know she can't help but feel in deep despair. Please pray that God intervene and help that family with all this pain. Let him turn their mess into a wonderful, purposeful message.

  2. Heavenly Father I pray for my wife and kids that they may open their hearts and feel the unconditional love and mercy that you are all about. I pray that my wife's heart be healed from all the heartache that I done to her. I pray that she find peace within herself and the lord so that she could forgive me for my shortcomings. I pray that she opens her heart to love me once again and give me one more opportunity to show her that my love is unconditional. May the lord grant my prayers for in him I place all my trust and love.

    John, 7/1/2016
  3. I have a lot of resentment towards family members for how they have hurt me in the pass. I pray everyday but need extra prayers to let it go so I can feel better. But most of all I want my children to be happy healthy and financially stable but to stay close. One is considering moving up to 2 hours away. One grand daughter really doesn't want to go and I don't want them to either. Help them find everything they are looking for close by us. In the almighty name I ask for all your prayers to keep them close.
    May the lord watch each and every one.

  4. I had a relationship end recently out of the blue with someone. Her name is Courtney.
    We got along really well and were very compatible and had a lot in common.

    I am 36 years old, and this has been very hard.

    Can someone pray the following:

    * Healing on my heart, and especially any defects in me

    * Remove the loneliness and emptiness

    * If God could restore my relationship with Courtney or if not...if He could bring someone similar to her,
    but who would be committed and more willing to talk to me about her concerns instead of ending things suddenly.

    Thanks,

    Brian

    Brian, 7/1/2016

  4. We are Close knit family including my Parents Mathew and Annie, my sister, my wife and four children one girl and three boys gifted by God. My Mom being born and bought up in CSI though a Catholic now after marrying my dad is not believing in Confession I feel. My dad also does not confess through priest and mostly pray directly. We go to church on Sundays but miss mass sometimes. Me too was not used to confess regularly and had ups and downs in my spiritual life. But God have intervened in my life multiple times. I don't know why but he has always come back for me like shepherd for the one lost sheep. And though still I have influence of evil everyday God has been kind to help me fight and make me understand the sins of flesh which I have completely got rid off atleast in physical sense which I am away from but I still feel influenced by sexual inclinations or feelings. I want to be perfect for God for my family and my wife and children giving fully myself to God to fulfil my duties here. I want to pray for my dad and mom for right ways to make sure they also reach heaven and understand and go back to confessions if Gods wish is that. I am also confused on rosary and confession and though I have started praying rosary in family prayer my heart is still confused and not sure.I Pray to God to give me clarity on what I should do in case I have to change anything I am doing now. like for example I go dancing Salsa. But I think i make sure I dance without any other intentions. Is it ok. Please God I don't want to do one thing that keeps me away. Also the new sadness in my life is my sister's wish to get married to her Hindu friend. But she really loves him. I don't know if it's right or wrong. God please help.her choose right. One nun sister known for intersession prayers, prayed and told my sister she is not supposed to even talk to him and God do not wish them getting married. It's too hard to understand for me too. I can't imagine what she is going through. Please help me God to give her right guidance. Please help my sister understand what you want God. Please help me my family my lovely wife to help each other reach your kingdom. Please help me help all people I meet to reach one step closer to God. Please help me and use me to help my family and friends and all around to reach heaven. Please guide me God. I need you. I am thankful for all that you gave and all that did not because you know better what I want. I don't want anything but a clear head to reach you...I want to guide my children to reach you. God please help me! Praise the lord

    First of all, thank you. Thank you for everyone and everything in my life.
    I am always grateful.

    I pray you will help me to make amends and peace to all whom I've hurt.
    To do justice and penance for my sins. To find closure in past issues.
    Past issues are bothering me. I need to resolve them before I can move forward.

    Christ, I still believe in you amidst this darkness.
    Please help me to reorganize and prioritize my life so that I can finish my studies, untangle my career, and learn to take care of myself and not be a burden on others.

    Jesus, I don't like to see other human beings suffering.
    Please help me to be the change I seek in this world.

    Please let their be healing between all religions and races in this world.
    Let their be an end to hatred and persecution worldwide.

    Let Christianity emerge from the darkness that is in the Middle East and India and protect them Christians who are suffering.

    I pray that all people will learn to treat others with dignity and respect instead of violence, bigotry, prejudice, and hatred.

    Let your healing fill this earth.

    Praise be to Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns forever and ever.
    Amen.
