YOUR URGENT PRAYER REQUESTS

Please use the sharing buttons! Thanks!

Registered or not, will you in your charity please take a moment look at the requests and to pray for the people about whom you read?

Continued from THESE.

I get many requests by email asking for prayers. Many requests are heart-achingly grave and urgent.

Something is up. I’m getting many more requests for prayers than last year at this time

As long as my blog reaches so many readers in so many places, let’s give each other a hand. We should support each other in works of mercy.

If you have some prayer requests, feel free to post them below. You have to be registered here to be able to post.

I still have a pressing personal petition.

    On this gentle Christmas Eve, I hold all of your prayers and petitions in my heart and prayers. As I prepare to attend Midnight Mass, I promise a special prayer for all of those listed, for Fr. Z’s intention, and for those intentions we hold silently in our hearts.
    Please, if you would, keep in mind a very special intention for a dear friend of mine, a young priest, Fr. JM.

    My intentions:

    a) I’ve spent the past few weeks suffering from a relapse of myofacial syndrome, basically the muscles on the right side of my face are currently compromised and its playing havoc with my eating and speaking; I am offering it up but its something which largely has to to away by itself (prayers for it to do so please)

    b) I will be jobless as of New Years Eve, any prayers to St Joseph for a new position which will enable me to move out of home (26yr old badly needs to move out of the nest)

    c) Medium – longer term That I can find a Bishop willing to take me, my Godfather who is also a Priest is going to talk to friends of his who MIGHT be able to set me up with a Bishop in the New Year – please direct prayers to St John Rossi

    Will pray for everyone here

    Pray for us O’ Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
    Amen

  32. Ouida says:

    Prayer request for Linda. She has serious cancer and may not recover. She and her husband adopted a family of 5 young children (brothers & sisters) several years ago, and she is concerned about leaving them and her husband. Also, please pray that I will sell my house on the coast of Mississippi (my husband passed away 3 1/2 years ago and I must sell for financial reasons). It has been on the market for almost 2 years and I cannot make the mortgage payments. My son is making them and this is a great hardship on him and his family. I pray the Lord will bless them for their sacrifice.

    In thanksgiving for all my blessings.

  33. Mariana2 says:

    Happy to pray for all the above intentions.

    For a peaceful and happy new year for all of you!

  35. I would like to ask your prayers for someone who was a late vocation to religious life; she has recently left the noviciate after 4 months because of physical-spiritual exhaustion. That she may be able to rebuild her spiritual life; and that she may find the place God intends for her in life.

  36. jameeka says:

    Many thanks for the prayers for AB, on last urgent prayer list.
