Today I witnessed an encounter between our mailman and another man in which they both were talking quite animatedly. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about, so when my mailman got to my door I asked if everything was all right–fearing the man might have been threatening our mailman or was a danger. That’s when our mailman told me the poor man he was talking to is an alcoholic whose lost his family and is living in near poverty. Our mailman has talked to the man more than once, trying to persuade him to give up drinking. Please pray for him and all like him who are so sadly addicted to drugs and alcohol. Thank you. ❤️
 
A most noteworthy prayer intention!

Oh glorious apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered thy beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused thee to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes thee universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who am so miserable; make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded thee of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly (mention your request), and that I may bless God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise thee, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to thee. Amen
 
Venerable Matt Talbot, please pray for this man and all who are addicted to alcohol and drugs.

Saint 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, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
 
I’m praying for the alcoholic and also for that good mailman. God bless him!
 
Prayers for the alcoholic - may he receive the help he needs. God bless the mailman for trying to help him.
 
***Hail Mary,

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

We will ALL be judged by what we do for
those who cross our paths EVERYDAY!
May we ever be AWARE of people in
need, it may be Christ we are ministering
to!

Eternal God in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon usand
increase your mercy in us,
that in the difficult moments in life,
we may not despair or
become despondent,
but with great confidence,
submit to your most holy will,
which is love and mercy itself!
Amen.
 
St. Maximilian Kolbe,
I ask you, a servant of Christ, a patron to those addicted by drugs and alcohol, to keep in mind all of those who suffer from the terrible afflictions wrought by drugs and alcohol.

You sacrificed your life to preserve a family! Pray for all of those torn apart by drugs and alcohol to better their lives for Jesus!

Pray for us!

Amen.
 
PRAYER FOR THE ADDICTED

God of mercy, we bless you in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who ministered to all who come to Him. Give your strength to this man who is bound by the chains of addiction. Enfold him in your love and restore him to freedom through your grace.

Lord, look with compassion on all those who have lost their health and have broken relationships because of their attachment to the object of their addiction. Restore to them the assurance of your unfailing mercy, and strengthen them in the work of recovery. To those who care for them, grant patient understanding and a love that perseveres.

Lord, in your servant, Venerable Matt Talbot you have given us a wonderful example of triumph over addiction, of devotion to duty, and of lifelong reverence of the Holy Sacrament. May his life of prayer and penance give this man courage to take up his cross and follow in the footsteps of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Father, we ask this through Christ our Lord. 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

Praying for all those affected by addiction of any kind & for their families.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell, satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
