Please pray for me...

[Sariah]

…I’m constantly struggling with my faith, and it seems every time I feel close to and “right with” God, it’s gone in an instant.

…please pray for me, that I will finally find my spiritual home in the Catholic church and have the courage to move away from the “safe and familiar” LDS church. The lure of what is familiar to me is strong, yet I know (and have known for a long time) that where I need to be is in the arms of Rome. So, why is it so difficult for me to get there. sigh

…please pray for me, that I will strengthen my self-discipline and develop good spiritual habits, rather than falling back on my lazy nature and standard excuses.

(It’s been a rough year…)

Thank you all so much. God bless!

Sariah, may God bless you for your courage and desire to do what is right and to do it with faith and faithfulness.
I shall pray for you at Mass that God will profoundly bless you with all the grace you seek and desire.

Lord Jesus Christ, I pray to You on behalf of Sariah, that You will guide her home to Your Holy Church. O Lord, bless her with Your grace, that she may be subject to You, and remain always holy and without blemish before You. Grant her Your peace and strengthen her in this time of difficulty. I trust in You, dear Jesus! Help us all to trust in You now and in eternity. Amen.

Your answer lies here…hold tight to the Mother of God, our mother, she will lead you to a safe place beside her. HAPPY FEAST DAY - 8 December. Praying for you…

Opening Prayer for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Let us pray,
[That through the prayers
of the sinless Virgin Mary,
God will free us from our sins.]
Father,
You prepared the Virgin Mary
to be the worthy mother of your son.
You let her share beforehand
in the salvation
Christ would bring by his death,
and kept her sinless
from the first moment of her conception.
Help us by her prayers
to live in your presence without sin.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Lord, please bless, guide and protect Sariah. Help her to pray a lot and to do a lot of spiritual reading for the nourishment and support she needs. If she could meet with a holy priest for spiritual direction on a regular basis that would help her a lot too. Please help her to persevere in faith and to choose You at every moment. May she have an excellent relationship with your holy Mother, and give her heart over to her so she can mold it. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

 

[odhiambo]

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

Hail Mary full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst 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

Praying for you from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Psalm-prayer

God of power and mercy, through your Son’s passion and resurrection you have freed us from the bonds of death and the anguish of separation from you. Be ever with us on our pilgrimage; then we shall sing rather than weep. Keep our feet from stumbling, so that we may be able to follow you until we come to eternal rest.

Ant. Lord, keep my soul from death, never let me stumble.

Ant. 2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

 

[Dee_S]

Hail Mary full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst 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
