Prayer Request

A reader writes:

Would you kindly pray for me? I’m going through a difficult path both in life and in faith and would ask that you pray I not despair. Thank you.

Father, hear our prayer that this son of yours, for whom your Son Jesus suffered the bitter pains of his passion and death, would know that you will never abandon him and that your plans for him are for good and not for evil, to give him a future and a hope in the Risen and triumphant Christ. Grant him the grace and virtues of faith, hope, and love and help him carry on in obedience to your will. Mother Mary, pray for him! We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
