Amen. :signofcross:
 
My thanks to all who have responded to this thread. I happen to be a Recovered Alcoholic, sobriety date 24 February 1984. Obviously, I do a variety of prayers to help the still-suffering alcoholics and addicts. :gopray2:

I am so proud of the way the Catholic Church, early on in AA’s history, fully embraced the concept the alcoholics are not bad people trying to become good, but sick people trying to become well. I am grateful for all the Catholic Retreat Centers who have weekend retreats for those of us in 12 step programs. I am humbled that I am allowed to receive the Annointing Of The Sick for my disease of alcoholism. My thanks to all.😊
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to they protection, implored they help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee 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.
 
Loving Creator, please free each addicted person, giving them the will to fight and to reject the mastery of addictions. Please give each of them the grace and generosity to help each to live the life you created him or her to live!
Thank You, our God.

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.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits
who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
 
Loving God,

I lift up intentions today on behalf of Dan, a son of family friends, who has been doing well since his release from jail and move to a halfway house. Please continue to bless, have mercy, and strengthen Dan as he walks the journey of life. Please help this fall, and this time in jail, be the motivation he needs to turn his life around. Lord, please help Dan to walk the narrow path and respond to your guidance in his life. Please help all who minister to and coach Dan to be the witnesses he needs to sustain the changes in his life with your unconditional love and the call of your Holy Spirit leading the way.

We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, the Good Shepherd of your people.

Amen.

St. Eugene,
By your example, touch me to see Jesus in others, to help those in need, and to have the courage to do God’s will.

I ask this through His Son Jesus Christ.

Prayer for the Help of the Holy Spirit
O God, send forth your Holy Spirit into my heart that I may perceive, into my mind that I may remember, and into my soul that I may meditate. Inspire me to speak with piety, holiness, tenderness and mercy. Teach, guide and direct my thoughts and senses from beginning to end. May your grace ever help and correct me, and may I be strengthened now with wisdom from on high, for the sake of your infinite mercy. Amen.

Prayer for Gods Guidance
Father in Heaven,
You made me Your child
and called me to walk in the Light of Christ.
Free me from darkness
and keep me in the Light of Your Truth.
The Light of Jesus has scattered
the darkness of hatred and sin.
Called to that Light,
I ask for Your guidance.
Form my life in Your Truth,
my heart in Your Love.
Through the Holy Eucharist,
give me the power of Your Grace
that I may walk in the Light of Jesus
and serve Him faithfully.
Amen

Father, once again I pray:
For love of Jesus, please flood Your healing grace upon those who succumb to their addictions and habits that keep them from living full lives.

Please grant that they will accept the healing and new life that You are offering them. Please help them to persevere and to live a wholesome, happy, faith-filled life. I ask the fullness of life in You for their family and friends.

Father we ask Your powerful healing, in the name of Your beloved Son,
for all who suffer with addiction,
and for their families.
Please protect others from being drawn into addiction with them.

Father, in Jesus’ name, please help all those who are struggling with addiction.
Father forgive and heal them.
Please urge them to avoid occasions of sin, each time temptation arises.
Please lead them to activities that honour You and benefit others and their own well-being.
Please give them strength to resist to temptations against gospel living.
Please surround their lives with Your light and love.

Thank You, Father

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.
