Lord please help Tom to make wise choices in life to make good friendships and to be able to get a job and become mature.I pray that he will be able to fend for himself and make a full positive life for himself.Thankyou Lord for hearing our prayers and for these wonderful prayer partners who have helped and supported me and my family so much Amen

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
"The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” Num 6:24-26

Teresa, Continuing to keep Tom and yourself and intentions in my daily prayers. May the Lord ever direct the events in Tom’s life and protect him from all harm:

*Merciful Jesus, we trust in You!

We take refuge under thy protection,
O holy Mother of God;
despise not our prayers for Tom and Teresa
in their necessities,
but ever deliver them from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.*
(Adapted from the Sub Tuum prayer to Our Lady.)
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.



Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

 
Saint Joseph please stay with Tom in his daily life, please bless and protect Tom

Mother Mary, St. Joseph, St. Anne, St. Monica, thank you for your intercession with Tom. Please ask our Lord to pour out grace upon this situation, to continue to heal him and fill him with his grace and love. Please also assist him with getting a job so that he can provide for his children. Amen.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.

St. Michael the archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray.
And do thou oh Prince of the heavenly host.
By the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen
 
Lord Jesus, please hear our prayers. Holy Spirit we pray come, enlighten the hearts and minds of our sons, lead their hearts.

Holy Mother, pray for them. Pray for this mother, pray for the children involved in this situation.

St Michael we humbly pray for your intercession to protect our sons and daughters from the snares of the evil one.

Lord Jesus , we pray for the young children of this son, that they are protected and feel safe in this situation.

Amen
 
Hi, I’m sorry to hear about your son. I have a son who is a drug addict. I rely on my faith and prayer a lot. I also go to Nar-Anon meetings, which is a 12-step recovery group for those affected by a loved one’s addiction. If the problem is alcohol, there is Al-Anon for those affected by a loved one’s alcoholism.

12-Step programs are not just for the alcoholic or addict. These are family diseases and the whole family needs recovery; especially us mothers who tend to enable and are usually co-dependant. Since I’ve started going to Nar-Anon, I’ve made many changes in my life and no longer enable my son. I understand that alcoholism and addiction are diseases and I did nothing to cause it, I can’t control it, and I can’t cure it and you did not cause your son’s alcoholism, you can’t control and you can’t cure it either.

My son in currently clean and sober. He’s been clean and sober for as long as 17 months. The addict and alcoholic battle their disease everyday and they are the only ones who can fix their disease, we cannot.

Please find a meeting or at the very least, get some counseling. It will not only help you, but in the long run, it will help your son as well.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb Jesus.

Holy Mary mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Donna
 
Most loving, I pray for Tom that you may help him become more mature and dependent on You. Guide, protect and guard him and his family

Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen
