Hello. I need your intercession and prayers. If you don’t mind I would appreciate it if you asked Our Lady to pray on my behalf as well, I have much devotion to her. Here is my request:

I am the only real Catholic in my life right now, except for a classmate of mine at the college I go to. But I have no other community except at RCIA. My loved ones and family often remind me how judgmental I am for being pro-life and pro traditional marriage. Not to mention they think I am too much of an “old school” Catholic (doesn’t make sense right?). I have been on my knees everyday and reciting the rosary like crazy. Please pray for my soul that I do not give up faith and that I may stay humble and sincere in order that my loved ones may see what true precious devotion to the Lord looks like.

Thank you. I am thankful for your prayers.
 
:gopray:

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.

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.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy 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. Amen

Praying for you to persevere. That family and friends will see by your example how strong your faith is. I have returned after being gone for many years. My husband and I need annulments from our prior marriage, so I can receive the sacraments. Most of my family think that I am crazy for going through all of this, but I want to receive Holy Communion. They are Catholic, but are more liberal in their thinking. I was more along that thinking until I started going to adoration, and really got deeper into faith. So, I am also praying that your family and friends will not be far behind you.

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to 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. Amen.
 
You are never alone! We are here to pray for you!

A Prayer to St. Joseph:
**Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your devine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.**

Salve Regina:
** Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
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 clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.
Code: 
        Pray for us, O holy Mother of God

        That we may be made worthy of the 
        promises of Christ.**

Absolutely, will pray for you, but you are not alone, you have CAF members as your family (not to mention all the saints and angels in Heaven). Christ is not only your saviour but your best friend:

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.

You can also feel free to PM me anytime if you’d like to talk to a fellow Catholic! 😉

Dearest I feel lonely,

I am sad to hear how lonely you feel in your life right now…this is surely a test of your faith…the faith that many have died and lived for all these thousands of years…it is not an easy road you are on at the moment…but I know with your prayers, life will get easier…stand firm in your faith…remember how lonely Mary was throughout her life as she watched and waited for her life to unfold…and had to witness many horrible things happening to Jesus and her friends…because they believed in Him…also for Jesus on the Cross… can you imagine?..being on that cross in excruitiating pain and not being able to get any relief …how lonely he must have felt…

Please remain true to who you are and the faith you obviously love…those who are taunting you now will one day turn to you for help and support when they go through situations that they cant handle…I am praying for you and remember how much God loves you…you are beautiful to Him and He is watching over you like a loving Father…xxx
 
If you are with God, you dont need anyone else.

These are hard times, most of the people I know are not even Christians. The few that actually say they are do not attend mass nor pray nor nothing. Its true that true catholics are few, one more sing of the times we are living in.

As pope John Paul quotes:

“Spera nel Signore, sii forte, si rinfranchi il tuo cuore e spera nel Signore. S, spera nel Signore.”

Psalm 27:14
14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

PD: You should actually hear the whole Abba Patter album.🙂

Praying for you and for your intentions. Put on the armour of Christ and keep the faith.
God bless you on your RCIA process.
 
Hail Mary, Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art 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 death.
Amen.
 
Be at peace dear one. Like everyone has said , I will pray for you on the journey. Maybe ask Blessed Teresa of Calcutta in prayer to be with you in a special way on the journey as well.
Wishing you great joy, great love, and much peace.

You are not alone. Remember to be patient, as conversion of others can take some time and come in little steps. Your daily devotions will make a difference, but you must be persistent.

Do not waiver in your stance as a “Traditional or Old Fashioned Catholic.” You are on solid ground with this. I have been were you are, and in some cases it takes decades for people to change, and the changes are very minute but they are there. You will also grow and change. It took 25 years for my paternal grandmother to ask to be baptized and close to 30 for my sister.

Trust in God and focus on Him. He will take care of all this for you.
 
hi,
hope this finds you well…as the rosary will open new doors to places and people…so

i will pray a decade-with you in mind…have a good day , patrick
 
I’m sorry to hear you are feeling so lonely. I hope as youjourney along in the Faith you will find things less lonely as you meet more and more Catholics. Perhaps some day your family will better understand or will even join you 🙂 With God all things are possible.
Mary.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,*
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew)
 
Dearest in the Lord:

Since you are standing for God, God is allowing you see and go through the mighty the power and grace this involves. You have to pray more (as you are already doing), and also, if possible, in many kinds of prayers, both personal and group prayers, charismatic prayers (praising, singing, thanking, silent worship), intercession prayers, repetitive personal prayers from the heart like “Lord and my God,” etc.

If your work is involving directly confronting the works of the enemy, then you may experience spiritual attacks in some areas. Read Ephesian chap. 6:10 onward and know, that you are warrior of God, needing the His help and of his angels and intercession of the saints (both living and in heaven) at your disposal. You can pray Pope Leo’s prayers of personal deliverance personally or in group and say prayers to St. Micheal, the Archangel apart from your other prayers. Go make frequent confession and receive communion. Good to have a trustworthy spiritual adviser (priest, nun or mature/elderly layperson) to whom you can confide and get prayed over. Sometimes, you can ask a good priest (maybe after confession) to lay his hands on your hand pray a short prayer of specific deliverance for you.

Also, see these links: aiutonline.org/esorcismo.htm
traditioninaction.org/religious/b014rpExocrcism.htm

Once the obstacles are cleared, the mainstay is to pray and remain in His presence whenever possible, esp. at prayer time as long as you can (even before the Blessed Sacrament) and try to be filled with his Holy Spirit and divine love always, then you are ready for more the ministry and service like you are already doing now.

Do not be shy to take recourse to the above necessary steps given by myself and others whenever necessary throughout your life.

In Christ,
Philip

You need to read the bible, particularly John,and “hear” what Jesus Christ your God is saying to you .
Praying to Mary without praying to God, will bring you nothing .
Without a personal Relationship with Him, who is “the way the truth and the life”,
there is no comfort,no life eternal .
So read what you can . If you do not have a bible,there is lots on the internet .
Read about especially the only people Jesus hated ,for they were incapable of love ,
and could not Hear his voice for their judging of others ,and their pride in their own
ability to save themselves,by keeping the “rules”. If you get the relationship with God
who is justice ,love and Mercy,right, you will not need to judge others,but by being an example of good and “kind” living you will be good example . For that you need to
forgetpersonal ,loving ,and thankful Relationship, with the only One who counts .

God bless,Theresa
