Through their journeying, allow them to bring new gifts into our midst. Please always watch over them and their families in all their needs and endeavours. Thank You for Your love of them, which infinitely exceeds our own. Please always guide and protect them.

Jesus may we walk with You. Let Your promises be fulfilled in our lives for Your honour and for others’ blessing. Use us for Your purposes. Let Your Holy Spirit guide and empower us with gifts to serve You and people for You. God, let us love each other with Your love.

Amen. St. Monica, pray for us!
 
Dear St. Monica,

Troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant to us that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for us, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear our pleas
for all non practicing Catholics and those
discerning conversion to Catholicism.

Amen.
 
Lord hear our prayers for our loved ones to return to the Church and the sacraments. Guide them in their journey of faith and enlighten them. Please bless all on this forum, and help relieve any guilt we may feel because our children, spouse, friends etc… do not practice their Catholic faith. Thank you Lord for all you give us.

Amen

Exemplary Mother of the great Augustine, you perseveringly pursued your wayward son not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven.
Intercede for all mothers in our day so that they may learn to draw their children to God. Teach them how to remain close to their children, even the prodigal sons and daughters who have sadly gone astray. Amen.

Please pray for both of my sisters and their families and for a family that used to belong to our Church but suddenly stopped attending.

I also Pray for a very good friend of mine who was deeply hurt by a fellow Catholic and for all of those who were hurt by fellow Catholic’s or the Catholic Church. Amen.

Dear St. Monica said:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on our loved ones.

O Heart of Love, I place my trust in you
For though I fear all things from my weakness
I hope all things from Thy Mercy.
Jesus meek and humble of heart
Make our hearts like unto Thine.

Mary conceived without sin
Pray for us
Who have recourse to thee

Remember O most Gracious Virgin Mary
That never was it known
That anyone who fled to thy protection
Implored thy help or sought thy intercession
Was left unaided
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee
Virgin of virgins, my Mother
To thee do I come, before thee I stand
Sinful and sorrowful, Mother of the Word incarnate
Despise not my petition
But in thy clemency , hear and answer me.
Amen.

For your intentions

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.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever.
Amen.

Hail, Mary! Full of grace, The Lord is with thee;
Blessed are 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.

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.
