A reader writes:<\/p>\n

Recently a friend of mine has been dealing with the discovery that she is bisexual, and is feeling afraid and alone because if her parents ever find out then she is afraid they might evict her from the house. She\u2019s a devout believer and we\u2019ve all tried to consol her as best we can but she\u2019s rather devastated by this. Prayers would be very appreciated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My grandfather or Dza Dza passed away this afternoon at about ten to one. I would like to request prayers for the repose of his soul. He was a troubled man and family relations were rough. He was fortunate enough to pass away with last rites and a priest with us in the room. Thank you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mark, could you ask your readers to please take a look at the attached link <\/a> and pray for the return of this little girl? No need to mention my name, just a reader of your blog would suit me fine. There are lots of us trying to get the word out everywhere and keep this up front in the news, on blogs, etc. to help bring this child home safe. I believe America\u2019s Most Wanted had a very short story on her last Saturday. While things don\u2019t look good, everyone is hoping and praying she will be found safe.<\/p>\n

Since you are also in Washington state, I thought it might be a good idea to ask you to put it on your blog if you are willing.<\/p>\n

(There\u2019s tons more on the net, but I thought the good pic here would be helpful).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, hear and grant the prayers of your people through our Lord Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, obtain for us the grace of Christ that we seek for these and all our needs.<\/p>\n
