May request your prayers today? I have a couple intentions.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I am grateful for your prayers.
For one intention, I was pleased with a development.
For the other intention, I still ask for your prayers.
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

I’ll be making a stop at the church today for a quick adoration session before my interview. I’ll add them to mine.
I have prayed for you, and will continue to.
Pater, Ave, Gloria.
You are added to my daily intentions.
Prayers Ascending!
Will lift them up at my thursday evening rosary group. There’s strength in numbers.
Prayers offered for your intentions, Father.
Yes, Father, I will pray for you and for your intentions.
Yep!
Prayers for your intentions Father.

Thank you for posting these prayer requests, Father. I’ve learned from you to stop whatever I’m doing and to say a prayer.
Praying a Memorare for you right now and will remember you as always in my prayer intentions at Adoration tonight.
Done.
Done and I will remember you again before the blessed sacrament tomorrow morning.
I have your name inscribed in my Christian Prayer book so every time I pick it up, you’re right there with me. I will offer a special prayer for you after Compline tonight.
Prayed an Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be at the top of the page. Will include your intentions at First Friday Mass tomorrow.
Tonight, in evening prayer and tomorrow, in Adoration, I will remember you.
Why are Your Intentions Secret/Private?
Memorare said for your “other pending intention”
Glad the first one is being “developed”
Presumably, Father has a private intention because it’s a private matter.
Describing an intention, especially for someone else, may be impossible without invading somebody else’s privacy. If the person reads the blog, it might be embarrassing or angering for them. An intention may also be too private to oneself, or too difficult to describe.
There’s nothing wrong with asking, and there’s nothing wrong with praying for intentions that are private. If it were an unfitting intention, obviously God would just redirect our prayers.
Prayers said for your intentions, Father.
Done.
Will say my rosary for you today.
Fasting today, Father. Yor intentions are included with mine.
Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be said for your intentions, Fr. Z!
