Christine, how thankful I am to God for this blog, a lovely place where we can be one in spirit in praying for our needs and the needs of others!
Please join us once again in praying for the unemployed today, Friday.
Most Sweet Jesus,
most gracious and most loving God,
we call upon your name.
Grant we beseech thee, our brother and friend,
to grant employment to those who seek them.
Have mercy upon them, O Most Sweet Jesus,
for there is no one to turn to but you.
You have the power and grace
to grant what we need
that we may walk this earth with dignity
and the knowledge that we are truly loved.
We, as one body, ask you
to provide employment to the unemployed
and to grant our other petitions
according to your will. Amen.
Mama Mary, pray for us!
St. Joseph, pray for us!
All angels and saints, pray for us!
Thanks to you Christine and to all!
I would like to request a prayer for reconciliation with a friend. Please pray to St. Maurice for us.
for a child and their large family - that the Lord will help them meet all their financial needs so they can relax a little and not have to worry so about their financial woes.
Please Pray for Johan and I. I care about him a lot and he is very important to me. We had a huge falling out in December and even though I have made several attempts to reconcile and bring peace he will not accept it. Please pray for a forgiving heart for us both that we can forgive each other and restore our friendship making it stronger than it was. I love Johan a lot and I care about him. I miss our friendship and would like to salvage what we had. Please pray for peace between Johan, his family, friends and I. We all used to love each other and they showed me that they do not care about me and have worked hard to break up my relationship with Johan. Please pray for peace, love, trust and forgiveness between all of us. I care about all of them still and don't want to fight with any of them. I have strived so hard for peace but they keep throwing my efforts back in my face. I need God's help and intervention in this brokenness to heal the love, trust, friendship between Johan and I and his family and friends. Thank you for your prayers. I have been praying all year and I really do want peace between us. Please pray for us. Amen.

Please pray for me and my children as we are facing eviction and I have nowhere else to turn.
Please ask God’s Healing for a Catholic homeschooling mom of seven in my area who has just found out she has uterine cancer. Thank you for your prayers!
Could you please add my friend Grace to your prayer list? She is 12 years old and just had a brain tumor removed. She has to go on chemo, but she has a 5% chance of survival. We know the Lord's odds are much better.
Please pray for favor with my mortgage lender. I also need prayer for trust in my friendship and reconciliation with John and I pray that he will totally accept the will of Christ in his life.
Lastly, for my children, as they have witnessed my financial hardship for the past 7 months after losing my mother and grandmother, it has been a struggle. But I know that I will see God through my desperation in Jesus' name. I know he will take care of me and I thank God for everything--whether big or small that he has done for me because only he has the power to do it.
Thank you Easter for posting about Tom here. He is home now and ketones are negative. Thank you also to everyone that prayed for Tom.
Peter is ok. Our government may send people from the embassy home but Peter would be one of the last to go. The people of Haiti are very poor and food prices have risen 50% in the past year. There's a lot of corruption. Most people are illiterate and believe any rumor. They believe their government is paying the UN. There was rioting at the UN building there the other day, but today was Port au Prince. So please say some prayers for the situation and the safety of everyone - especially Pete. I'll let you know when I learn more. Mom
Please pray for the repose of Father James Swenson of Las Vegas NV. Also, please pray for the healing of Father Romeo of Las Vegas. He had a heart attack. We desperately need priests in our diocese.
...Joseph Fogarty, 46, died in a head-on collision on Arnold Road Wednesday night.
And his wife and kids, left with little money and fewer prospects, were at a loss.
“It’s like a nightmare,” said his daughter, Tara Pappas, 26. “You’re waiting to wake up and see your dad.”
Coventry police, who are investigating the accident, said Fogarty’s pickup truck, traveling south, apparently crossed the double line at about 7:20 p.m. and collided with a tractor-trailer carting 10,500 gallons of home heating oil.
He was pronounced dead at Kent Hospital...
Please pray for me. I have some serious health issues including need to lose 40 pounds(which will help some of the problems). I NEED/WANT to get healthy and totally in God's will. I want to have energy, and health back and be out in the world bringing the lost to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus. Please help me with prayer support. I am so tired of being sick and uncomfortable and no energy.
God Bless
Love In Christ

Mildred Cutter, the mother of Gov. Linda Lingle whose battle with bipolar disorder inspired her daughter to fight for improved mental health legislation, has died in a Los Angeles nursing home. She was 78.
Cutter died yesterday of an undisclosed illness, according to the Governor's Office.
This is from one of our dear moms in our parish mom's group.
"Please put Joey L. on your prayer list ASAP
His mom is at the hospital right now with him…He has a lymphnode in his neck that is very very large, a 104 fever, and a rash. And they do not yet know what is wrong with him."
He is doing better…he is by no means great…but he is doing better. They are removing the ventilator and weaning him off the heart medications.
Keep praying…he has a ways to go yet to be healthy…he needs our prayers.
Joey is improving more and more…he will be able to come home Thursday night or Friday sometime.
All Doctors are now in agreement that it was Kawasaki and that the Kawasaki caused Congenital Heart Failure/Congenital Heart Disease. Children recover from this fully though…he will be on heart meds for a few months.
Continued prayers for Joey’s heart to return to normal and give God praise and thanksgiving for his recovery!
Please- this is urgent!!
My friend's son and daughter in law( Ben and Christine) are due with a baby at the end of April. they FOUND OUT THAT THE BABY HAS "PATAU SYNDROME" WHICH IS A CHROMOSONAL (SP?) DEFECT.

She is a devout Catholic and will not think of having an abortion, even though she has been asked to by her doctor and family members!
please pray and put this beautiful family on all your prayer chains.
thanks so much!!
love, God Bless, Sue
Well, ladies, I am not sure what is going on around here, but there is another completely unexpected death that I need to report and ask for your prayers.In recent days, an excerpt from an email from Fr. Corapi to persons unknown has crossed the Internet like a tsunami. Although Santa Cruz Media did not confirm the news when queried two days ago, Fr. Corapi’s community, the Society of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Trinity has confirmed that Fr. Corapi is indeed undergoing testing at the Mayo Clinic.
Fr. Corapi’s superior has approved the sending of Mass Cards for Fr. Corapi.
Mass Cards should be mailed to:
Fr. John Corapi, SOLT
PO Box 152
Robstown, TX 78380
Through Him, With Him, In Him,

Please pray that the home in Orlando sells. We have moved to Fort Myers and this stress is putting so much pressure on my husband. I know that God has a perfect plan but he also says to pray. Thank you!!
Dear one in Christ,
Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus Christ!
I am writing as the message concerning Fr. Corapi's health is actually a false rumor. After learning of it, I phoned Santa Cruz Media and they informed me that he has had the flu, but that is all. His decision to not travel for 2008 was one made outside of any health issues, which, at this point, by the grace of God, are not as represented in the email excerpt being forwarded and, for your reference, contained below.
Having said that, it is always a good and important thing to pray for our beloved priests. As Fr. Corapi has such a cherished charism, we must pray for him specifically, daily, that God's grace may continue to enable him to so effectively transform lives for the better.
I do encourage you to phone Santa Cruz Media ( www.fathercorapi.com) yourself on Monday and confirm this information for yourself. The lady I spoke with there said they were already aware something was afoot as they have been getting many calls of inquiry in recent days concerning Fr. Corapi.
In the united hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Sue

Dear Stephanie, Thank you most sincerely for your very kind invitation regarding your May 30, 2008 Celebration of Priesthood. Normally I would be very happy to be there if it were possible.
I am at this moment waiting for a private jet to take me to the Mayo Clinic. I have been quite ill for over six months and the local physicians can't solve the riddle. In addition, for the first time in
20 years I am not traveling at all in 2008.
Please pray that God's will be done in my current situation.
We shall pray for your parish and diocese, your Bishop and all of your seminarians.
God bless you, Fr. John Corapi
Hi all. I was hoping you'd pray for my friend and ask others to also.
She is in her late 30s like me and has 4 kids one of which (the baby)
she is/was still nursing till this week.
She found out this week she has leukemia.
She is divorced from the three oldest kids dad. He got into drugs,
lost their home and destroyed them financially.
Those kids need their mother.
Please pray with me that she can/will survive this till they are grown
and on their own.
The oldest is 11.
Her name is Stacy.
Thanks Everyone!

Prayer for Fr. John Corapi
He's been sick for over six months and they don't know what's wrong. He asks prayers. (I don't know him, but I'm getting emails forwarded to that effect.)
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, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me as I pray for the full healing of Fr. Corapi and the grace of Christ to bear whatever cross he has for the good of his soul and the good of the whole Church.
Amen.
Please pray that Dave and I reconcile. It has been a month since we spoke and had our fight. I have tried to contact him telling him how sorry I was for fighting with him. We have been dating for about 6 years now. Please pray that God will open his heart to forgiveness and open the lines of communication between us. Please pray that we reconcile soon. I ask this in Jesus our Lord and Savior's name Amen
Please keep Alfredo's Mama, Lucila, in your prayers. She has been in the hospital since the beginning of December, and now the hospital just called to gather the family -- seems like she may be on her deathbed. Please pray for her soul and the conversion of others on the family tree who need prayers of conversion and healing. Thank you and God blessThank you for praying for her and her family.
Family to her was first and foremost. Granny loved to cook and her grandchildren recall fondly Sunday dinners and holidays at her house, which will never be forgotten. If a family member got sick, the soup was already cooking. When anyone stopped by, they couldnt leave without having something to eat. Worrying was her favorite hobby. During bad weather, she wasn't able to sleep unless every member of her family was home safely. The annual canning event at her house became a family affair and the tradition will continue with incredible memories. Lauretta was a devout Catholic and a member of St. Anthonys Church and the Society of St. Benedicts in Elizabeth. She prayed the rosary on a daily basis and candles were always burning in front of her collection of statues. She was a very special person and will be greatly missed by her loving family and anyone that had the pleasure of knowing her. Her legacy of love and kindness will live in our hearts forever.Rest in Peace Lauretta. And thank you God, for being with the family in this difficult time.
Yesterday evening, another telephone call, increasing the ransom and dictating conditions which “complicate the case”. Still no guarantees on the “wellbeing” of the bishop, abducted on February 29th. These latest developments raise fears that these are no ordinary criminals interested solely in money. Iraq’s premier sends a message to the Chaldean Patriarch.ARTICLE

I want to ask people to thank God so much for answered prayers in regards to Thomas' birth. He is thriving, happy, lets me sleep, and I didn't get any ppd this time at all. We are all just so happy and grateful for all of these gifts.
...hubs is on the verge (before the end of this year) of getting a HUGE promotion at work. His boss is retiring and he has a really good chance of getting his job. This would be amazing for his future health (no more outside work to kill him early with his chronic asthma problems) and we would no longer have to worry about bills. This is such a biggie!
A terminally ill Roman Catholic priest is the center of a tempestuous legal battle between a court-appointed temporary guardian - who has demanded his return to an Arizona care center - and family and friends - who believe such a move could kill him.ARTICLE
Fr. Bernard "Brian" Gallagher, 76, a retired priest from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Yakima, Washington, is the focus of a custody struggle between his family and a woman acting as his legal emergency guardian. Imelda Guadalupe "Lupe" Kowalczyk has insisted to authorities that Fr. Gallagher is mentally incompetent and cannot make his own decisions, among which is Fr. Gallagher's well-documented desire to live with fellow religious in California and to finish his days with constant access to the Mass and the sacraments.
A while back I had requested prayers for my friend Bob who was losing his eyesight due to diabetes. Today he wrote a very enthusiastic praise report that he is getting his eyesight back, his eyes are healing and he is surprising all his doctors!Thank you everyone for your prayers and of course, thank you dear Lord.
I just wanted to thank you for your prayers and Bob does too, and ask that you continue to pray for his eyesight. Thanks SO much!
