“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."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

First, I’d like to thank the Holy Trinity, Mary, St. Joesph, and all the angles and waits for several prayer intentions which have been granted recently. Deo Gratias!
Please pray for my 54 Day Rosary intentions. Thank you! I will keep every readers intentions (written or not), along with Fr. Z’s intentions, in my prayers. And let us pray for the conversion, confusion, and crushing of God’s enemies through Mary.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Please pray for me I am suffering from regular headaches and have to get x-rays soon. There is a possibility it might be a pinched artery.
My husband had surgery two weeks ago for colorectal cancer and everything was removed. Now he has a bacterial infection which was caught early and he is being treated. He hasn’t worked in almost a year due to chemo and radiation and he wants to be able to go back to work soon. The doctor is talking another round of chemo “just in case” but he really doesn’t want to do that. Please say a quick prayer for him.
We surrender to Jesus and know He will take care of everything. Thanks in advance
I’ll pray for all those intentions. Will you please pray for my son’s friend, Franz? He was a groomsman at my son’s wedding last November, and a week later was injured in a skiing accident, and partially paralyzed. I haven’t heard any updates in his condition for a few weeks, but I’m praying for his complete recovery, currently with a 54 day Rosary. It will be a long process, probably. He and his family are very devoted to St. Rita, St. Gemma and Blessed Pier Giorgio. My son had him as a roommate in college and used to visit his family quite often, as they were in the same state and our family didn’t live nearby. He’s said they’re like a second family to him.
Please pray God will provide for all my prayer intentions. Prayers for everyone here.
I am asking St. Joseph and St. Padre Pio to intercede for my husband, D., that all cancer cells will be destroyed, and that the right treatment to do that will be chosen. May the Lord give us strength and peace, and for all of you also.
Prayers for your endeavors too, Father Z.
just got some shocking news about major changes at my workplace that call my job security into question. it would be difficult for me to find another job – especially another one that pays well enough to allow me to continue to fund my wife’s Alzheimer’s care. glad to pray for all the other intentions included here
I pray for all of us. Father, I hope you’re all right. Please pray for me. My multiple sclerosis is progressing faster than I would like and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to walk. Please pray for my recovery so that I can at least do the minimal things to function in daily life and to take care of my household needs and go to work. I just want to walk without fear of falling.
Praying. I’m doing okay, but dear Lord, a lot of people need help.
Please pray for a friend who’s stuck with being the responsible adult for a whole family full of alleged adults. She has financial and health problems, as well as a crushing to-do list.
Please pray for my Dad, Charles. He is 90 and near death. Thankfully he received the last rites and apostolic blessing this past Monday. He continues to hang in there (tough Irishman!). Thanks Fr Z and everyone!
Please pray for my husband and children. He is in desperate need of a career that can support our growing family.
Prayers for Fr. Z and everyone here.
Please pray for my husband and me that all of our test results will be normal.
I will pray for Fr. Z and all who post here.
Please pray for my health. Suddenly and inexplicably, I am suffering from swollen and painful joints in my feet left knee, and hands.
Thank you for your prayers. I will be praying for Father Z. and each one of you. God bless.
Prayers that we are able to find a house to move to – we want to serve the Lord with whatever house/land we are provided, but there are a number of practical needs that are pulling us away from the type of house we originally desired. Clarity regarding the next step forward would be a great blessing.
I am begging God for a huge miracle for my family, and for help with multiple serious problems, especially for my kids. Please, please pray for us.
Many thanks to all of you, with prayers for you & your intentions.
I need God’s Help, across so many areas right now.
I am grateful my husband is recovering from a (non-covid) dangerous illness that hit in September, but he remains abroad and will stay there (due to work contracts) for the forseeable future. His recover, not guaranteed, is expected to take several more months.
I have major career challenges, and was diagnosed with Covid .
I need God’s mercy so much, and wonder when God will tire of my requests. Please pray for me.
I found out last week that PCOS-induced endometrial cancer that caused me to bleed non-stop from mid-November until last Tuesday, necessitating 2 ER visits and a blood transfusion, has embedded itself into the walls of my uterus. I’m only 36, and there’s a *chance* I can keep my uterus, so please pray that I’m able to keep my uterus…and my job… The job’s almost as big of a concern. FMLA is totally unpaid and I can’t even keep my apartment on what STD/LTD pay, let alone food, etc., and MI car insurance… To say nothing of what this’ll probably do to my mental health, which was already in the sewer last year.
Please pray for LFJM, they discovered a nodule on his left thyroid & now has to get a biopsy. Please pray it be benign and if it be the will of God to go away immediately and forever. Regardless, he’ll probably have to have surgery. And if it not be God’s will that it miraculously go away, to have a successful surgery.
Deo Gratias! Thank you Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee! Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us! Thank you Mary!
