“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."

Pingback: YOUR URGENT PRAYER REQUESTS – Via Nova Media
Prayers for all of you, and I’m adding your intentions to my Rosary intentions. If I may add one, that those of my children who’ve left the Faith might return.
Please say a prayer for Roy L. who lives near Seattle. His is my sons father in law and was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We have heard he is in a lot of pain and his daughter is not taking the news well either. These people are not Catholic. They likely do not go to any Church, but I would still appreciate prayers for his recovery. I believe he is 58 years old.
Thank you and rest assured we hold you all in our prayers each night.

I would like to offer prayers for Father Z. and all religious and lay people who are fighting for Our Church and its traditions. Maybe one day in the near future a President of the United States will ask the nation for prayers.
* On that day I hope no one will get hurt from the Libtard’s heads exploding.
Please say a prayer for the health and safety of 3 children I know, and for the health of their parents’ marriage. One parent wants to give them the Covid-19 vaccine, despite the other’s expressed wishes. There’s a great deal of tension and uncertainty in their household right now.
Please pray for a long-serving cleric in our diocese, Deacon L. He has acute respiratory distress syndrome and has been put on a ventilator. It’s not covid, they don’t know what it is, but he’s very sick.
Thankfully we have a couple Fr. Youngtrads here who did an apostolic pardon, confession, and anointing, so he’s ready to go if it’s God’s will, but your prayers are coveted by he and his family nonetheless.
Please pray for my brother. He is engaged, but I am not sure he or his fiancée understand what marriage actually is. They only seem to understand playing house.
Please also pray for my mom’s extended family especially my grandfather. My mom’s siblings tried to commit him to a facility without his consent three days before Thanksgiving.
Please remember my brother M and his wife M whose marriage is very broken. That they find their way back to love and peace.
For Carolyn who is awaiting biopsy results and already battled cancer once.
For the conversion of Chris, Mike and G.
Thank you all so very much! I am praying for you as well.
Tammy
Please pray I’ll find new housing ASAP. Please pray for the G family and their search for permanent employment. Please pray for R’s brother who was refused entry into the marines for refusing to receive the vaccine and for her father who will lose his job soon for also refusing the vaccine. Will anything good happen to any of us anytime soon? I’m tired of this new “normal” and the building better back which really isn’t better at all.
Please pray for the grace of a happy death for A.O., A.L., G.H., M.W., and C.B. and for the repose of their souls.
Please also pray for my various novena petitions. Will keep everyone’s prayers in my prayers. Amen.
Deo Gratias!
Please pray for Fr. Joseph Santos, who has been in the ICU for over a week with Covid.
Please pray for my family’s protection, especially next week.
For my son C who faces the difficult decision of getting the COVID jab or losing a job he is very good at and is his families only source of income.
That actual science would prevail in the handling of COVID including serious consideration of alternate treatments that may save lives even if they do not provide much remuneration for pharmaceutical companies.
That Traditiones Custodes would be ignored and the traditional Latin mass continue to grow and thereby renew the Church.

Please pray for my nephew David who is in the ER. At the beginning of his senior year at Boylan Catholic HS in Rockford, IL, he was helping a friend with his Eagle Scout project, fell off the back of a pickup truck and landed on the back of his head, neck and upper back, fracturing vertebrae and had a serious brain injury. Doctors said his recovery would be long, slow, and possibly he would never recover fully. We put him on every prayer chain we could, and a miracle occurred–3 weeks later he was back in class! Graduated on time, enrolled in college, etc.
The day after Thanksgiving, he was getting dressed, stood up, and something at the same injury site popped. He was taken by ambulance to ER, but the place was jampacked and he was in such pain he could not stand to even sit in the wheelchair.
Today (Sat) he is back in the ER and hopefully will get admitted quickly.
Please pray also for him and all of my family members, most of whom are out of the RC Church, that they be granted faith and belief, and will convert and return to the church.
I hesitate to ask, in light of all these dire needs, and my prayers are with all mentioned. If you would, my husband (F) is experiencing pain in his hip and leg area that has not responded to steroids. A relative (K) is being admitted to alcohol treatment today and has a long way to go, and her children are suffering the effects of an alcoholic mother. A man I only saw two weeks ago at a relative’s senior housing died. His name is Robert, and I feel so sad that someone there apparently said to him to stop complaining about dying, and “just do it already”, and the poor man did just days later. I hope God has a special place of light and peace for this man who went out without human consolation. And if I could ask, I would appreciate a prayer for me, because I am going to violate my conscience and test weekly in order to work. I’m not sure I can do it, but that’s my lousy plan.
Please pray for my cousin Shawn and Uncle Rick. Both are dying of cancer.
Prayers please for my brother in law, Dave B., diagnosed with a brain tumor. And that he, never confirmed will change. And that his wife, my sister Tina return to practicing the Faith. She also needs courage. Thank you.
Please pray for my brother S, who works for the EPA and will be getting pressured to take the COVID jab and may lose his job. For my SIL K, has already been fired from her job in the medical profession for not taking the jab. And for my friend PaulD, late 50’s, who is in the hospital with COVID, and they are pushing to put him on a ventilator.
Please pray for repose of the Soul of my brother’s Father-in-law, who died tonight after a long illness. He was a devout Catholic, father of eight, and grandfather of many. Thank you and I am praying for all of your intentions on this Advent Vigil.
Y’all, the supreme court is revisiting Roe v Wade right now!
