Prayer Requests

A reader writes:

Prayer Request from frind This morning I lost my mother and my best friend. Her life was taken from her so soon. I can’t begin to explain what I’m feeling. She was such a kind person with a heart of gold. I feel so helpless and alone. I hope she knows how hard I struggled to stay strong for her. A piece of me is gone forever. I love you mom. Rest in peace. You will never be forgotten.

May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. And may her wounded and hurting child find grace, peace, and strength through Christ our Lord.

Another reader writes to ask prayers for his mother, who has had a stroke and is in hospital with an inoperable blood clot in her brain. Father, heal her in the Name of Jesus Christ and bring glory to your Name. Mother Mary, pray for her and for the son who loves her. St. Luke and Fulton Sheen, pray for her.
