“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Please pray for C, a little boy, that his eyesight stops deteriorating.
Pray for our parish too. The pastor is so volatile.
Please pray for my parish and its pastor, a soundly orthodox man whom I credit with helping me find my way back to the Catholic Church. He is vilified by many clergy in our archdiocese despite the great works he has done for us especially his efforts at educating parishioners on many things we were not aware of. What worries us now is the possibility that he may no longer minister to us come next month. There is a really unnecessary rule that imposes a reshuffling of priests amongst the parishes every six years which, although not even stipulated in Canon Law, is nonetheless blindly followed.
PLEASE pray for our pastor who is going up north to give 2 talks to priests and others about NFP. He is trying to get them to not shy away from preaching about it from the pulpit and also not shying away from bringing it up in marriage prep with couples. God Bless him.
Also I have a personal mission to pray for ALL Priests, Religious Brothers and Sisters, Seminarians, Deacons, our Pope, Bishops, Cardinals, Missionaries and all those discerning a vocation to the priesthood or religious life. Would you PLEASE join me daily in praying for this very needed and important intention.
Please pray for the repose of the soul of a coworkers sister who was killed in an ATV accident over the weekend.
Please pray for a fiend who’s mother just died unexpectedly, he is atheist pray for his conversion and comfort.
Also please pray for my son who just found out his department will be transferred out of state Dec 1 and he may be out of a job. That God provides him a clear path forward.
Please pray that I may conquer SSA and pornographic temptations and for all of us who carry that cross. Praying for everyone here.
In thanksgiving for my chemo working. Almost finished but tumor markers are zero.
Pray for my marriage, wedding in 6 weeks!
Prayers please…
My sister, who’s been “married” outside the Church for 14 years, has learned that her “husband” (both baptized but poorly catechized Catholics) has an addiction to meth. They have 3 sons under 12, their mortgage is 4 months unpaid, the IRS is coming after her husbands construction business, his truck has been repo’d, he’s taken all their money, the boys are hungry, and his parents are enabling him. Also…
My 44 y/o cousin (married, 2 sons under 8) is having a growth removed from his bladder today. Has been causing him to pass blood. Hoping its benign, whatever it is.
I pray for priests, etc but pray for a particular priest one day a week through the seven sisters apostolate.
I will pray for all intentions listed here. Please pray for me and my husband.
In March he was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart problem. This came as a total shock. Please pray for a safe and effective treatment for him.
We would also greatly appreciate prayers for good test results and wisdom for his doctor. Depending on the results he may need to be put on a medication that has a risk of sudden death and significant long term side effects.
Please pray for me as well. That God will give me the strength to bear this cross.
Thank you
For my 14-yr-old son who is plagued with many doubts about whether God really exists, much less the truth of Christianity and Catholicism, and has given up praying despite my encouraging him to keep trying.
Praying.
My economic situation continues to get more and more dire. It’s been awful for me the last four years. I need a new job and now it looks like a new car as well. Pray that I have some sort of break through that reverses the trend.
Praying. Tumor markers zero!! Thanks be to God! This is a difficult road. God bless you.
Please pray for the repose of the soul of my Aunt Claire who passed the day after the 100th Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima.
Also please let us pray for one another to persevere in Our Lady’s request to pray for peace and for souls so that fewer of them fall into Hell.
I will pray for all of you and your intentions.
Please, in your charity, pray for me. I am struggling with work and may lose my job in 7 weeks. I need God’s generousity and mercy as we need the income and insurance. My younger son is applying for college (please pray that a good offer with financial aid comes through) and my husband needs help regarding his business (also, he needs major surgery on his shoulder at the end of the year). WE are financially struggling with all of this.
Finally, please pray for the conversion of one of my neighbors: 10 years ago she became involved in the pagan world (new age) and she continues to prosletyze for that evil.
please pray for me
Praying for all the above. Please pray for my 20-year old son, slightly special needs and too trusting of people.
I would like to ask for prayers for my uncle who is extremely ill. He has been anointed. For his family. Thank you very much and I continue to pray for all your intentions.
I’m well over a year unemployed and my benefits ended months ago. It’s…frustrating. I know what the stats are for high-functioning autistic adults working vs. being on disability, but dangit, I don’t want to live on any governmental breast >.> My state’s also lost TONS of jobs since August, so that’s not helping, and the state-level issues in IL also obviously affect far more than just me.
Please pray for my children and the dire situation they and I find ourselves in after a distressing and unjust family court process. Lord, bring us justice.
Please pray for my adopted daughter, she went to Australia to help her cousin celebrate her 21st birthday and the night before the party my daughter had a gallbladder attack and now were trying to get her home as soon as possible to have her seen by her doctor. Thank you, and God bless you all!
