Though my two brothers and two sisters are all struggling with faith, I would like to pray for my brother, Christopher, particularly. He has placed his self-worth as how successful he is, and as a result feels depressed because he believes he hasn’t found a career yet. He works hard, is a good husband, friend, and brother, but he can’t see this. My refreshed faith has him feeling guilty about his own, he has told me. He has expressed feeling depression/worthlessness and I have begun praying for him specifically when I pray the rosary. I would greatly appreciate your prayers for him, that he might hear God’s constant reassurance of his worth in His eyes.

As a note, he was once placed on antidepressants, but is not clinically depressed so he had suicidal thoughts, and so was taken off of those medications.
 
Lord, Saint Augustine wrote:
“Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.”
The many prayers of his mother led him to convert from his worldly life and values.
Lord, grant that this loving sister’s prayers and example will lead to the conversion of her siblings, including Christopher.
 
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.

Thou art the Shepherd of the sheep, the Prince of the Apostles, unto thee were given the keys of the kingdom of heaven. “Thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my Church.” Raise us up, we beseech Thee, O Lord, by the apostolic assistance of blessed Peter, Thine Apostle; so that the weaker we are, the more mightily we may be helped by the power of his intercession; and that being perpetually defended by the same holy apostle, we may niether yield to any iniquity, nor be overcome by any adversity. Through Christ, Our Lord. 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
