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 prayer requests, post them below.

I received this request:
Hello, Fr. Z-
I wrote to you in June, asking for prayers for my unborn baby. Since then, the baby has shown many signs of improvement. Now, I am asking for your prayers that the doctors will find some healthy lung tissue so that they can take steps to preserve his or her life after birth. We have been praying through the intercession of St. Jude, St. Pio, St. Bernardine of Siena, St. John Paul, and Our Lady Undoer of Knots. We would appreciate your prayers immensely. Thank you!
I ask for prayers to that my friend, James, can find a decent job. I ask also for prayers that my daughter-in-law and the baby she’s carrying remain healthy and that she is born without any complications.
Intercessory prayer works! One of my grandsons was diagnosed with dwarfism after months of abnormal prenatal scans. The doctors were making plans on how to deal with it after he was born. But, after asking for and receiving prayers from everyone we know and, I think, due to the intercession of St. Gianna Beretta Molla, at the last pre-birth scan the doctor said he was absolutely normal and that he would not even have suspected a problem had he not known of the history. And my grandson is normal. Well, he doesn’t have dwarfism, anyway (ha).
For a family member who’s unemployed and looking for a job.
I offer a prayer for this baby to be healed.
Please pray for me as well so I can walk and stand up a little easier. And please pray I have some type of financial healing so my life can be a little more manageable.
For my personal intentions
Don
May Saint Joseph intercede for the confirmation of an important job that will enable me to continue paying for my home—and that, in addition to this opportunity, other sources of income may arise so that I can keep up with the payments.
My housing situation. My lease is up at the end of the month and I found the perfect affordable housing apartment with a dishwasher and in suite laundry, as well as heated underground parking (I live in western Canada where it snows a lot in the foothills of the Rockies.) Getting it would be life changing.
I have hip replacement surgery tomorrow, please pray for a successful outcome.
-Patrick
For Beth who will have surgery tomorrow to relieve pain from cancer that has gotten into her spine.
And
For a resolution to the glaucoma that is slowly but surely stealing my vision.
For my children, that their faith deepen, or be rediscovered in some cases, and for my autistic son, that our challenges with his behavior be overcome, and that his ability to communicate and care for himself increase.
For my various novena petitions, job situation, conversion of sinners, & the release of the Souls in Purgatory (especially those of deceased bishops, priests, & religious). Deo Gratias!
I will keep the intentions listed here & the intentions of the readership overall in my prayers. Thank you!
Praying
For the intercession of St. Benedict and St. Joseph.
I have an important assessment/test for my role in a front line service within the next 6 or so hours, prayers for success through St. Gabriel Possenti and St. Hadrian would be appreciated.
TIA – MC
For the “S” children, that their grandmother may be awarded full custody of them.
For my family, especially the lost sheep amongst us.
Fr. Z and beautiful people of the comments section, please pray for my health. I am having problems eating without getting severely ill and have been for multiple weeks now. Please pray that I may successfully seek out the help that I need. Thank you!!
Praying for all of the above.
Please pray for my brother, frail and suffering from some kind of mental decline, not diagnosed yet. And for my father-in-law, who is dying of cancer. And for me, with 2 conditions creating increasingly poor health.
Thanks be to God, for bringing 4 of my extended family back to the practice of the faith. May He expand that to other members of the family.
Pray in your charity for my brother Mike who recently discovered he has colon cancer and further tests show it has spread to his liver. He starts chemo tomorrow. Please also pray that he finds his faith through this ordeal
Praying for all
Please off a prayer for my 91 year old mother
And a prayer of thanksgiving for a prayer answered
For my prayer list of various intentions but most especially for onw of my current hiring processes to end in a suitable offer so I can return to work.
I would like to report an answered prayer, very minor example but worth mentioning. One of my cats (Callie) was due for a vet appointment on Monday morning. The last time we took her to the vet, it was quite a struggle to get her in the cat carrier, we had to chase her all over the house, and my husband and I both got scratched. So I was literally praying all weekend for Callie to get in the carrier calmly. I followed all the tips, set the carrier out days in advance so she and the other cats could acclimate to it…. just as it came time to leave for the appointment, she walked right in of her own free will, and there was no struggle at all! I was so happy I prayed two Rosaries yesterday in gratitude. If you own a cat (or a cat owns you) you’ll understand….
