I am asking you and your readers for prayers. A friend of mine is in imminent danger of turning her back on the religious vocation she embraced some years ago. Please pray fervently for her!

Father, hear our prayer for your daughter, that your will for her be made clear and that she find the grace to follow it through our Lord Jesus. Mother Mary, pray for your daughter and obtain this grace for her.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, our mother; to thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer us as we pray for this woman.
