Prayer Requests

A reader writes:

A friend called me last night telling me his friend was possibly going to die in the hospital. This was 1:30 AM in the morning. i would like prayers that his friend won’t die. But more importantly I would like prayers that my friend gain clarity of mind. I have doubts that my friend is possibly deluded in his evaluation. He often calls me with weird stories about his life and he is either lying or deluded or confused or a combo of all.

Father, we pray for the man who may be dying, that you will heal him or grant him the grace of a happy death. And we pray for my reader’s friend, that he be granted clarity of mind and clear guidance from your Holy Spirit to know the right and do it through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary, pray for all concerned. Amen!

The mother of my daughter’s friend died suddenly on Friday evening. Please pray for her and the whole family; it’s already been a tough year for them, and it just got tougher …. Thanks!

Father, grant eternal rest to this woman and grace, peace, consolation and strength to this family and all who love them, through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
