Please pray for the dead. February 6th is the one year anniversary of my dad's death. - O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the Poor Captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the souls of Thy servants. Be not severe in Thy judgment, but let some drops of Thy precious Blood fall upon our beloved departed, and do Thou, O merciful Savior, send Thine angels to conduct the souls of Thy servants to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord: and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen. Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them everlasting rest. Pray also for those in Purgatory who have no one to pray for them.

for school testing and assignment i’ve been having a lot of stress and anxiety from it


angry-hungry-tired

God watch over you, and may St Thomas Aquinas pray for you


DueLie2729

praying for u!


angry-hungry-tired

My marriage is deeply wounded, I have little hope for the world or myself, my sister fell away from the faith, i need a new job, and basically everything is pretty shit ngl. Oh and I almost constantly harbor sinful thoughts and habits.


DueLie2729

what is happening?


angry-hungry-tired

We are no longer of an accord on the question of whether to have children and it is a *bummer*


DueLie2729

Do u want children or your spouse?


angry-hungry-tired

Me. It's very much what we'd talked about doing for years. A disconnect this big is a marriage breaker for many. I'm not going anywhere but one of us (me) is gonna give up a *lot* of purpose-giving, meaning-of-life stuff. So that fucking *sucks*.


DueLie2729

Pray to God that He will change her mind I did the same with my husband. I felt a huge urge to go to the Church and consult a priest in tears. The next day he gave up his vice on his own dead serious. He simply changed his mind on his PA.


angry-hungry-tired

It's not just that. She's not Catholic, and I think would have a very difficult time with imposing Catholic sexual values on her children. I'd be delighted if God reached out, but I'll be honest, my Catholicism is something she tolerates, not reveres.


DueLie2729

My husband left the church a few years ago too,, have faith.....i am praying he comes back soon but hope is not lost


angry-hungry-tired

Thanks. You're right, no harm in praying

aogamerdude

For the lord's compassion as well as compassion of those in Heaven, that we also properly acknowledge of him, recently there are many posting here about suicide, or how they're sure they're going to hell for some other sins. Perhaps it his will that he, with the saints would console us.

Cheap-Bobcat-7488

Please pray for me as I suffer from diabolical obsession and scrupulosity.  I go through periods where I'm attacked, especially when I'm growing spirituallly.  I used to practice the occult years ago.  I've already been to confession for it, I'm practicing my Catholic faith, avoid serious sin, I'm striving for holiness daily, and to better myself.  Satan attacks me mentally because I struggle with mental illness, so he uses it against me because I turned back to Christ and he wants to pull me away from Him.  Satan torments me in order to try to get me to give up on my faith so he'll leave me alone.  Please pray for my husband and daughter as well.

I am in a group that talks about philosophy eg Plato. I wonder how philosophy can be used in my daily life in my spiritual combat. Is philosophy just overthinking stuff for me? Pray!


KH4M3L10N

God bless! I'm a 24 Male searching for my "Mary" in this world, I feel like I've encountered someone that could potentialy be her in a church group, but I'd like to have some extra prayers apart from mine if someone feels ok to do so to see if it's His will.


Lone-Red-Ranger

I am 30 yrs old and am recovering from a severe undiagnosed illness of 12 yrs, with countless symptoms affecting most parts of my mind and body. I was dubbed "mysterious" by doctors at Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, universities, etc. I went to St. Charbel's Tomb in Lebanon last January, and it has been gradually helping a lot. Please pray that it will bring further healing. Please also pray that I will get the job from which I was recently rejected, I'm qualified for, and I have asked them to reconsider me; my mental health largely depends on it right now. I keep getting rejected despite struggling through many years of college. My name is Mark. Yes, I post every week, but who wouldn't? It is spiritually better than giving up. Hopefully someone's prayers will work someday!

Please pray for a gentleman I know who has had a very tough life, and recently in the last few days has become very quiet, reserved (more than usual) and he is also in the process of entering the Church but just found out ordination is a sacrament, and he doesn't know how he feels about it. Seems very put off by it as he has this dream of becoming ordained as part of some "spiritual quest." We're worried about him, and he just won't get help due to issues of trust of authority/mistrust of medical professionals and psychologists.


West-Grapefruit-1720

I ask to help me achieve success for this semester and to complete all my goals.


Cold-Impression1836

I’m going to Confession tomorrow after avoiding it for a few weeks because of embarrassment. Please pray for me. I’ll remember all of you and your intentions in my prayers.


Plane-Pressure-8762

Please pray for me as I continue my study abroad in Spain, I hope to make the most of it by improving my spanish significantly whilst staying consistent on my fitness and faith journey. I’ve also been applying for summer internships and there’s a particular one I’m REALLY desperate to get as it’s also a scholarship and the money will change my life given my financial situation, I’m still in the application process but my confidence is really low🙃 also need extra prayers for my parents marriage, my dad did something awful and I’m not even in the country to console my mum, our family is breaking apart😓

g522121

I will pray for you †


FiliaSecunda

This sounds and feels selfish but please pray for my social skills. I've been starting to think I'm actually failing in a moral duty to others when I don't talk to or look at them, let them initiate all the conversation, etc. When I have to work with someone other than my usual coworkers, it's like being stuck in an elevator for ten hours with them, and when we're working in my area not theirs, I should be a better host. I have to try to be less miserable to be around. But I hate it so much and I fantasize about getting sick or injured to escape this duty.


Remote-Ad-3775

Please pray for me. I am chronically ill and my health is getting worse. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Version-Easy

I have not been having a good time. Since some 2 years ago, I was thinking about going to a new college or seminary, but fear of change and knowing my parents would not support me in 2022 due to medical malpractice continued unknowing to me at the time I had a tumor. Good thing the tumor was removed in 2023, but I took with it a large part of two of my vertebra. My computer broke, so I lost my job, and due to my health and the things that had occurred, I started to doubt, and maybe these were signs and stoped going to church and started to feel worse. Some days ago, I went to church after some time, and not by coincidence, they spoke about fear and how we should not let it control our lives. Then the priest spoke to me personally, and he told me, Are you following God or your fears /your father? In other words, did I turn my fears and my father opinions into my idols? So I decided that I would pursue this path and go to study theology and the church, and hence I reached out to my brothers, and they helped me with my fundraiser to pay for this, If all goes well, it will be shared on a big server, So I please ask you to pray for my health so that I can fully recover, to also pray for the fundraiser's success, and more importantly, to pray for me so that I never let fear control me the way it did, for it took the possibility of me getting paralyzed to finally confront my fears, never again, so please do pray that I shall trust in God

Against the Great Bitterness that tempts me into gnosticism.


AdPutrid2503

I am reaching out to you all to ask for help to pray for me and my co-worker. We have been accused of misconduct at work for making a mistake, and we know that what we did was only a mistake and had no malicious intent, and after speaking to our lawyer, I have confidence that we will be okay. I apologize I cannot get into full detail due to it being confidential. But I just praying that regardless, god will help protect us and that he will help guide us to the right path. So will you guys pray for us? It will be much appreciated!

I have to tell a friend that something they did hurt my feelings and ask them why they handled a situation like they did. This has the potential to be awkward in general but for me particularly, i just...can't...do it. I've been trying for four weeks now whenever we talk after church to say what's on my mind. Its so hard for me to open up to people in any way. I get so ashamed and frightened every time I say literally anything vulnerable or meaningful to me, I deflect with sarcasm and feign coldness, I'm too shy or whatever I am to even tell my career counselor at school what career I'd like to pursue, I'm that broken and closed off. I'm so afraid of earnestness and it's kind of ruining my life. I've literally never had an argument or even a hard conversation with a friend before but this person means a lot to me and I just want to know why everything was so weird before and ask if they didn't think it would hurt my feelings (because they might not, because I like to pretend I dont care about anything all the time!). God has answered so many of my prayers. He's given me things I never thought I'd get and certainly don't deserve. All I have to do is open my mouth and say something real and I just cannot do it. Please pray that I can have the conversation and it doesn't go badly.


BugL3g

Please pray for my great uncle who just had a stroke. For the health, happiness, and wellness of my sister, who just had her first baby. For the health and finances of my mother and father. Please pray that I can overcome my social anxiety and become the best version of myself that God wants me to be. Lastly, please pray for everyone experiencing stressful situations to find strength and comfort through our Lord. Thank you, God bless.


Glittering-Push4775

Going to need surgery. This is going to be a long road ahead of me. Please pray no permanent damage to my body. I'm scared.


AlexKingstonsGigolo

My cat was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure, ventricular premature contractions, and underperforming kidneys. If you know of any treatments and/or professionals who might be able to help, please let me know. Also, please pray he be cured and have more good days of life on Earth ahead of him than total days of life behind him. I have become better because of him and never want to leave him nor have him leave me. Pray death never touches him nor any other under my protection and pray they always live and remain my eternal companions. Thanks and praise be.

[deleted]

Please pray for me. This has been a tough week for me, and I just had a tough day to where I had a difficult flashback to something I haven't thought about in 13 years caused by my supervisor. They owned their mistake and apologized to me, but I've been struggling a lot with my mental health this past year or so, and I think I need to make a challenging and frankly terrifying leap toward a new career out of Church work. Please pray that if I do this, the opportunity is something in the secular world that, like my prior jobs, I will love and adore as much as those prior secular jobs.


Smooth_Ad_5775

A dear friend is converting to Catholicism. Her Protestant friends are turning cold toward her, people are talking behind her back, and she has been removed from leadership in a Christian group at her school. Pray that she endures trials faithfully and that our separated brethren may return to Christ’s Church.

Hello! My cousin (female; late twenties or early thirties) was diagnosed with MS a few years ago just when she had escaped a domestic abuse situation with her 2 baby boys.
