Please pray for my Auntie. This past week or so she received distressing news from her doctor about her heart.
  1. She has to lose weight
  2. She has to quit drinking…She’s an alcoholic

PRAYER TO ST. JOHN OF GOD

Saint John of God, I honor you as the Patron of the Sick, especially of those who are afflicted by heart disease. I choose you to be my patron and protector in my present illness. To you I entrust my soul, my body, all my spiritual and temporal interests, as well as those of the sick throughout the world. To you I consecrate my mind, that in all things it may be enlightened by faith above all in accepting my cross as a blessing from God; my heart, that you may keep it pure and fill it with the love for Jesus and Mary that burned in yours; my will, that like yours, it may always be one with the Will of God.

Good Saint John, I honor you as the model of penitents, for you received the grace to give up a sinful life and to atone for your sins by untiring labors in behalf of the poor and sick. Obtain for me the grace from God to be truly sorry for my sins, to make atonement for them and never again offend God. Aid me in mastering my evil inclinations and temptations, and in avoiding all occasions of sin. Through your intercession may I obtain the grace from Jesus and Mary to fulfill faithfully all the duties of my state of life and to practice those virtues which are needful for my salvation. Help me to belong to God and Our Lady in life and in death through perfect love. May my life, like yours, be spent in the untiring service of God and my neighbor.

Since Holy Mother Church also invokes you in her prayers for the dying, I beg you to be with me in my last hour and pray for me. As you died kneeling before a crucifix, may I find strength, consolation and salvation in the cross of my Redeemer, and through His tender mercy and the prayers of Our Lady, and through your intercession, attain to eternal life. Amen.
Code: 
I have read somewhere (I can't for the life of me remember where though) that St. Anthony of Padua is patron saint for those wanting to lose weight so I'm asking for St. Anthony to intercede as well. Amen.

God bless,
goforgoal
 
I don’t believe there is a patron saint of weight loss although asking for St. Anthony’s intercession can’t hurt. 😉

Even though there isn’t a saint there is Our Lady of Weight Loss.

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 our death.
Amen

Maybe your Aunt can be the patron of weight loss someday! Give her something to strive for. 👍

Best of Luck

-Matt
 
Official Prayer for the Canonisation of Blessed Matt Talbot

“Lord, in your servant, 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 us courage to take up our crosses and follow in the footsteps of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Father, if it be your will that your beloved servant should be glorified by your Church, make known by your heavenly favours the power he enjoys in your sight. We ask this through the same Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.”
 
Dear Lord, we pray for goforgoal’s aunt. If it be your will, help her to lose the weight she needs to lose and to overcome her drinking problem. We also pray that she and her family grow closer to you. In your name, we pray. Amen.
 
During these uncertain times, our hearts seek compfort in the things we most cherish - faith, family and friends. Our concerns are not unknown to God and our needs are not unaccounted for. His Word assures us that the peace thatultimately matters is ours for the asking: The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanskgiving, present your request to God. And in the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:5b-7 (NIV)

Dear Lord please hear our prayers and grant healing to goforgoals aunt.Please grant her stable health and may she overcome her addictions with alcohol and lose weight to ensure good health.Amen
 
May your aunt find the self-control she needs and receive the graces of courage and perseverence she needs from God to lose her excess weight and to help keep her from drinking any more alcohol. May God help her through this difficult time and help her to discipline her appetites. May he fill her with his love at the Eucharist and satisfy all her yearnings.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be…

Amen.
 
Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hollowed 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

Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil

Amen
 
A Novena Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to You: to be without pity for those who are in suffering or distress. Look down on us, we beg of You and grant us the grace which we humbly and earnestly implore, through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful Mother to whom You confided us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with You. Amen.
 
Thank you and God bless you for your (continued) prayers. I pray that God will bless each and everyone of you’s as well as your family. Amen.
