My husband was let go from his job today. We were expecting this. But it’s till tough now that it finally happened.

He’s still in a bit of shock, as he is very bright and skilled, and has always done well. No reason was given – none usually is at his level. Please pray for us as we adjust to this news.

Hope your Easter is a blessed one!

Father, grant your servant a good job at a living wage, swiftly. Mother Mary, and St. Joseph, pray for this family. we ask this through Christ our Lord.

Please pray for a young man who, like me, is 27. I saw him appear in court today when I was observing court proceedings for one of my law school classes. This young man is a convicted drug dealer who was resentenced today to 9 years in prison because he violated probation. However, unlike the others I saw appearing in court today, he seemed sincerely remorseful and wanted to change his life, but was struggling to do so. Please pray that he finds the healing, peace, and love that he’s looking for and that the Blessed Mother will wrap her mantle around him and lead him to Christ and His Church. His name is Matthew and he has a young daughter.

Father, hear our prayer through your Son Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, pray for Matthew.

I have a friend who hit some emotionally difficult times recently, and earlier this week he sent me a message saying that he was going to commit suicide sometime very soon.  Through prayer and communications with him and his other friends he has decided that he doesn’t wish to die. However, he still needs assistance.

Earlier this month he and someone he thought he could trust got a place together, but after six days the roommate left.  He is currently going to school and looking for work, but hasn’t had any success.  He has set up a GoFundMe page in hopes of raising enough money to pay his bills this month.  Please pray that he is able to find work, pay his bills, and that he doesn’t return to that dark place where he feels that suicide is the only answer.  Thank you.

Father, give him a job, financial support, and sustenance for his hope swiftly. Mother Mary, pray for him We ask this through Christ the Risen Lord. Amen.

My grandfather suffers from stage IV of colon cancer and the news is simply devastating. I do not ask for his physical healing, but I do hope for his repentance from his skepticism and his acceptance of faith and hope and love offered by Christ Jesus.

Father, hear our prayer through your Son Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, pray for him now and at the hour of his death. Grant him the grace of repentance and a happy death.
