Prayer Requests

A reader writes:

Because it’s good to pray for people you don’t really know, would you mind praying for Koko Taylor? The Queen of Blues died on June 3, 2009 at the age of 80. Her cover of Wang Dang Doodle is an American classic.

Also, would you mind praying that I might conquer an habitual fault that is so habitual I don’t really envision the possibility of conquering it?

Another reader writes:

Please pray for my friend Don. His son Tom has committed suicide.

Father, hear our prayer for all these needs, especially for the salvation of those who have died, through your son Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, pray for all these people and obtain for them the graces they need through our Lord Jesus.
