Please pray for my cousin who has gone through so much in the past and is now going through a lot now. I won’t get into details but my cousin has had a “rough” life (she could probably write a book), she lost a daughter, and now her husband is battling a disease with his stomach and she is diabetic. Her husband has been battling a disease (doctors are not sure what it is) for several years. He is in desperate need of kidney transplant but they don’t want to do it since he’s losing weight rapidly. Sometimes, my cousin feels as if she’s a single parent and going to lose her mind since he’s always in the hospital.
They are both very sickly and they have 4 children. Also please pray that my second cousin (my cousin’s daughter) is more helpful and not so stubborn…
Through it all my cousin has forgave people and she remains faithful to Our Lord.
Thank you

AmenPRAYER TO
SAINT ANTHONY PADUA
(FOR PEACE)
Dear Saint Anthony, yet again I greet you and thank you.
Throughout your life you always tried to be a peacemaker.
You were always reconciling enemies,
getting factions to work together,
smooting and composing differences.
Our world is now upset with wars abroad,
with violence and dissension at home.
Everywhere in our cities and towns,
in our colleges and schools,
even in our churches,
a spirit of strife too often prevails.
These are all, as you know better than I,
the fruit of sin,
a sign of human instability and insufficiency.
Help us by your power before God to be peacemakers.
Help me especially to pray and work for peace in my family
and my neighborhood whenever I can.
I ask this favor in the name of our Lord, the prince of peace.
Amen.
V. Pray for us, St. Anthony,
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
