Prayer for a Friend

[MJPalomo]

Hello all,
I am just asking for prayers for a good friend of mine who is almost like a sister to me. I met her a few years ago in our freshman year of college, in that year she started dating a boy and they have been together all this time. As of about a year ago he started getting into alot of issues, such as drugs and alcohol, things she does not like. Its getting to a point where his personality is no longer the same and he is hurting her to the point of where I once found her in tears in her room, and yesterday she told me she cant eat, and she is depressed all the time because of this relationship. Me and another have both told her to end it but she wont for reasons I dont quite understand. So I am asking today for everyone to join me in prayer for my friend in hopes that things work out for the best, whether it is her boyfriend finding the error in his ways and they finally be happy or if she finally gains the strength to end their already broken relationship.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Eternal Father, we thank you for the crosses that we bear because we know that each one is an opportunity to grow closer to you. Lord we ask for your healing and that you bless our sister and her loved ones with the gifts and fruits of your Holy Spirit and that you shine upon them with your love and peace, endurance and patience, wisdom and discernment, faith and hope and that you grant them all the graces necessary to carry their crosses.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

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.

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.

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
