YOUR URGENT PRAYER REQUESTS: UPDATE on a prayer request

PLEASE use the sharing buttons! Thanks!

In your charity would you please take a moment look at the requests and to pray for the people about whom you read?

Continued from THESE.

Let’s remember all who are ill, who will die soon, who have died recently, who have lost their jobs, who are afraid.

I get many requests by email asking for prayers. Some are heart-achingly grave and urgent.

As long as my blog reaches so many readers in so many places, let’s give each other a hand. We should support each other in works of mercy.

If you have some prayer requests, feel free to post them below.

In your kindness continue prayers for my mother, who has been diagnosed with something grave and incurable.   Please pray for me.  Lot’s of decisions coming.

Some time ago, I asked for your prayers for a friend in Rome who is suffering from a terrible and life-threatening malady of the liver, which if I am not mistaken is a genetic problem. I had asked that you pray to Bl. Luigi Monti for a miraculous healing which would be complete, sudden and durative. I received this note today, which he sent to all the members of the Archconfraternity of the Most Holy Trinity.

Dear brothers and sisters, as many of you already know, I am still hospitalized after two months, and have been put on the list for a double transplant. Given my situation which is not improving, I have been put on the emergency list since last Thursday, which means that compatible organs could be found faster. Not rejecting nor distrusting these ordinary means which could be the will of the Lord, I still continue in the hope of having the grace of a complete, immediate, and permanent miraculous cure. I thank those of you who have already invoked the intercession of Blessed Luigi Monti and Pius IX; divine providence has decided not to grant these prayers, but in any case I am not wary. I was brought a novena prayer and a relic of Blessed Gerardo Sasso, founder of the Knights of Malta. I would like to beg our Lord and Our Lady again for the grace of a miracle, this time through the intercession of Blessed Gerard. I thank those of you who would like to join this novena, which I will begin tomorrow 24 June, the feast of Saint John the Baptist, main patron of the order of Malta as well as my name day, and end on 2 July, the feast of the Visitation of the Madonna. I hope that she and her Son will visit me at the end of this novena together with Blessed Gerard, to bring me the grace I ask for. I thank those who read this message.

He sent images of this holy card. The translation is below.

PRAYER FOR THE INTERCESSION OF BLESSED GERARD

O God, who chose Blessed Gerard to care for the sick and pilgrims in the Holy Land and wanted him as Founder of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, and chose him as an example of Christian charity towards the poor and the suffering; grant kindly that, following his example, I may see Christ your Son in the sick and the poor.
Holy Father, I beg you, if this is according to your will, that Blessed Gerard be numbered among your Saints, and that with his intercession grant me the grace that I ask of you.

3 Glory be to the Father.

    Prayers for your mother, Father Z, and your friend. I beg the Lord to grant healing of body and soul for all my family. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, please hear my pleading that I send up to you every day. I place all of us in each of your hearts, thanking you in advance for miracles of healing.
    May the Lord give every one of us strength and protection, whatever is coming in our world.

    Please pray for Anne, mom of seven, recently diagnosed with cancer. Also for David, who has mental illness.

    Please, if anyone can spare a prayer, would you pray for healing of my back problem? My condition is not nearly as grave as those mentioned above, but it is painful and debilitating, and even though I know God is with me, and Our Lady, I feel afraid and alone at times and am struggling a little to cope.

    Fr. Z, I will be sure to pray the novena for your friend, and will remember you and your mother in my daily prayers too.

    Ok. I’ll print this out and add it to my evening prayers.

    Intentions of and reparation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and His Holy Face, the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the Chaste Heart of Good St. Joseph.

    Restoration of the Holy Mother the Church, and for all bishops, priests, religious, seminarians and novices (living and deceased). And for an increase in vocations.

    Restoration and conversion of our country, her leaders, and her peoples. For an end to all legalized sin. Protection of the unborn.

    For the release of the Holy Souls in Purgatory, especially the most abandoned and forgotten, and those furthest from Heaven.

    Conversion of sinners and the enemies of God (and the crushing of their plans).

    For the repose of the souls of M.E., B.S., J.D., and those who perished in the wildfires of Maui. For healing, peace, and charity to abound in Maui and for the temporal and spiritual needs of the people there.

    The least, the lonely, and the last. And those whom are on the brink of despair, suicide, or contemplating abortion. Those who have no one to pray for them. All the intentions listed here and the intentions of all the readership.

    For M.O., his conversion, eternal salvation, and healing of his progressing cancer. He is only in his early 30’s. For A.B. and her situation.

    And those for whom I pray for daily and for my 54 Day Rosary novena petitions and other various novena petitions.
    Deo Gratias! Mary thank you! St. Joseph thank you! Guardian Angels thank you! All ye Holy Angels and Saints thank you!

    You, your mother, and your friend have been and will continue to be in my daily prayers for as long as needed.
