“I ask St. Teresa of Calcutta to intercede with God for…”

On this first day on which Mother Teresa of Calcutta has been elevated to the altars of the whole Church, let us all ask her intercession for some pressing needs for our respective nations, especially for these USA.

In particular I ask St. Teresa of Calcutta to intercede with God for the conversion, or the failure, of Fishwrap.  I ask St. Teresa to intercede with God for the conversion, or the failure, of the dems’ presidential candidate.  I ask St. Teresa to intercede with God for the conversion, or the utter failure, of Islamic terrorists.

    “I ask St. Teresa of Calcutta to intercede with God for the solemn proclamation of the Fifth Marian Dogma; officially proclaiming Holy Mary (the Perpetual Virgin, the Mother of God, Immaculately Conceived, and Assumed into Heaven) to be Coredemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces, and Advocate.”

    I ask God to intercede for The Tablet. That it may become a Catholic publication.

  4. Massachusetts Catholic says:

    “Why do you think we haven’t had a woman as president yet?” First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton asked her guest over their lunch at the White House.

    The little woman sitting at table with Mrs. Clinton did not hesitate in her reply.

    “Because she has probably been aborted,” said Mother Teresa.

    I ask Saint Theresa of Calcutta to intercede for the conversion of liberal bishops.

  6. JARay says:

    In my morning prayers I round off my petitions by asking Jesus to bring about the end of all Islamic jihadists, no matter what they are called.
    I do so much echo the comment above, about the reason that there has never been a woman President of the USA.

  7. Kathleen10 says:

    Amen to those petitions, Fr. Z., and Massachusetts Catholic, how excellent.

    “I ask St. Theresa of Calcutta to intercede with God for…” an end to abortion and healing for all those who have been directly involved in it.

    *The conversion of all Hindus and Muslims to the True Faith of the Catholic Church, founded by Jesus on the Rock of Peter.
    *The conversion, or utter failure, of her critics, who have sown such hatred toward the Catholic Church and her saints.
    *The safety and peace of all pilgrims in Rome for the occasion of her canonization, especially my friends Joe and Armando.
    *The healing of my classmate James, who had several serious strokes this week.
    *The healing and peace of my friends Chris and Jo, who are undergoing many tests and trials.
    *The success of my Knights of Columbus Council, for whom I have been elected Grand Knight as of July 1, that we may continue to bear good fruit in our service and witness to our faith in Christ, and support of priests, religious, and the Holy Father.

    Saint Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!

  10. NancyP says:

    I ask Saint Teresa of Kolkata to intercede with God for the conversion of terrorists worldwide or, if that is not His will, for the failure of the terrorists’ deadly plans.

    I am so thankful that I have lived long enough to see so many saints canonized, particularly Saint Teresa. Her witness to the world leaves no doubt that every person is made in the image and likeness of God and that our unborn children deserve to live because they, like all of us, have been given the gift of life from God Himself.

  11. Polycarpio says:

    I ask St. Teresa to intercede with God for the conversion of us sinners to follow Jesus in the absolute way that she did, “renouncing all our possessions” and imitating in particular her exemplary service of the poor.

  12. St. Teresa of Calcutta, please pray for my brother, Dale, and his family, that they return to the Catholic faith. Please pray for mercy on all of us here and on the whole world.

    PS….if my precious Fr. O’Brien, your Mexico and Dallas translator is with you, give him a holy kiss on his precious forehead for me. AMEN!

  13. HeatherPA says:

    I ask St. Teresa to intercede with God for the conversion of these United States.

    I ask St. Teresa to intercede with God for the conversion of the Jesuits gone astray, in particular Father Martin.

  14. SKAY says:

    I will add your prayers to mine Father Z.

  15. JamesA says:

    All of the previous fine intentions, and I ask her to pray for my fortitude to stop smoking cigarettes forever.

  16. Patti Day says:

    I ask Saint Teresa of Calcutta to intercede with God that the 54-day Holy Rosary being offered by many thousands of faithful Catholics may obtain the intentions requested, if it be His divine will.

    I ask Saint Teresa to intercede with God that members of my immediate family may return to the Church.

  17. AnnTherese says:

    I ask St. Teresa’s intercession for the intention of Pope Francis this month: for a more just and human society, focused on the human person.

  18. Wirkes says:

    I ask that Fr Z will spell her name correctly…..Mother Teresa….not Theresa

  19. Wirkes says:

    I stand corrected, and am happy that Fr Z now does spell her name correctly, unlike previous posts
