Prayer Requests

Prayer request for a woman I know with a difficult, high-risk pregnancy!

Father, hear our prayer for a safe and healthy delivery for mom and baby. Mother Mary, St. Luke, and St. Gerard, pray for them, their caregivers, and all who love them. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

I’ve been married less than a year and there are tremendous tensions and acrimony making communication very difficult, especially right now. I have fears for our future. I really need courage and discernment and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. So I would appreciate a prayer request on your blog (anonymously, of course).

Father, hear our prayer for peace, reconciliation and healing in this marriage, through the blood of the Cross of Christ. Grant my reader the grace to hand all fear to you, courage, discernment, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Holy Family, pray for this marriage to grow and strengthen in love. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
