Please send out prayers to those who feel lonely and away from God. Please pray that they will establish a firm relationship with God through prayer and by seeing him in all things and that they will never feel alone. Please let them know that God always has his ears open to what you have to say and is willing to listen to you at any time. May God open up doors and avenues for the lonely to meet new friends to grow in faith together. Some people to keep in mind for this prayer are the prisoners in prison: May they get visitors and letters. The patients in hospitals and psychiatric ward wards: may they get visitors and letters. The soldiers overseas: may they get care packages and letters and photos of friends and loved ones.

I would like to add my prayers for all those who have been abandoned and orphaned. May the Lord give them consolations in this life that make life more bearable, even when walking close to Him. He will never leave nor abandon thee.

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.

Hail Mary Full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art 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, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wicked and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the divine power of God
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Lord Jesus I ask Your particular kindness for those who are lonely in this holiday season.

Jesus, Scripture tells us, “It is not good that man should be alone.” [Genesis 2:8] Yet loneliness affects many people even in company because they feel unable to trust in their value to others. They often feel rejected and unloved, and have little self-esteem.

Jesus, we humans hope for companionship that is reciprocal and happy, with love that affirms our individuality and value. We seek in others the gift of ourselves forgiven and accepted in all our faults. We also secretly desire others’ recognition of our hidden beauty. We cannot receive such a gift unless we can also give to others the gift of themselves accepted by love that is aware, not blind.

Express Your love in our relationships as we seek to live in gospel community, not as isolated individuals. For only where individuals and communities are willing to love and to minister to others, do we find in each other the nourishing power of Christ’s presence.

Therefore, let the lonely and hurt understand their need to welcome others in charity in however small or great means open to them, rather than to remain trapped in isolation or self-pity. However if they remain isolated, we offer You their pain, united with the atoning loneliness of Your own earthly exile, in reparation for all sins against compassion, against friendship, justice and unity.

Jesus let us gently bring Your love to the lonely, to all persons who hunger for love and companionship. “God gives the lonely a permanent home.” [Psalm 68:6]

Loving God,

We lift up our intentions today for all persons who feel a sense of despair and loneliness in this world. It is quite easy for this to happen, as the world is full of people and situations that are contrary to your teachings and the way you would have us live, even in our own families, dear Lord. No one ever promised us this would be easy, and Your Way is the narrow path that is often like fitting a camel through the eye of a needle, but with Your grace and Your love, all things are possible. Lord, please bless all the good people who follow your path faithfully and who want to share the companionship and fellowship of being with those of like mind, but whom often find themselves in a situation or place where they become withdrawn and lonely. Lord, please send your comforting and consoling Holy Spirit, who lives within each person, to be present and to be with each of these individuals in a way they can personally connect with and experience. Please also help each one to find fellowship with persons who are caring and interested in including them in social, worship, and service activities. Lord Jesus, please help each of your people to understand you desire a total giving and fulfilling relationship with each one of your people, and help us to move towards that reality with each step we take on our faith journey. Please bless each person who feels the detachment and loneliness in their life, and bless each person who can reach out and be the face of Jesus to them at the right time in the right situation, to bring about the little heaven on earth you have planned, dear Lord.

We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, empowered by your Holy Spirit, who live and reign with you, one God for ever and ever.

Amen.

Remember, O most loving 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 with this confidence, we turn to you, O Virgins of virgins, our Mother. To you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, do not despise our petitions, but in your mercy hear us and answer us. Amen.

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.

Divine Mercy
Eternal God,
in whom mercy is endless
and the treasury of compassion
  • inexhaustible,
    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
