A Prayer for Unity

:gopray2: O Jesus, You asked that we may all be one, but we are not.

In Your Church itself, many dissent from the teachings of the church and are disloyal to the Holy Father. Grant these dissenters (including sedevacantists) knowledge of the Truth and lead them back into full union with the Church and the Holy Father, currently Pope John Paul II. Help them all see that the Truth is a whole and cannot selectively be denied.

There are many who call themselves Christians, but do not recognize the true church. Grant these Christians an understanding of the True Church and lead them home in peace and love.

There are many who do not follow Christ. Inspire them to seek You out and find the Truth and come into the Catholic Church loving and adoring the true God.

Finally help those who are faithful to God, His Church, and the Holy Father, loving aide our brethren into full communion with the Church and full acceptance of the Truth.

Thank You, Lord Jesus.

I ask your prayers for the repose of Father Deacon Nicholas (Rosov) of the Eparchy of Newton of the Melkite Greek-Catholics in the United States, who served Holy Transfiguration Melkite Greek-Catholic Church in McLean, VA. Father Deacon Nicholas fell asleep in the Lord on 7 August.

On 1 August, Deacon Nicholas felt dizzy during Divine Liturgy and went to the hospital afterwards. An inoperable Stage IV brain tumor was discovered and, within a day or so, he fell into a coma from which he never awakened. Deacon Nicholas, only 45 years old, was ordained to the diaconate a year ago. He leaves his beloved wife, Diaconnessa Alicia, and 2 little boys, aged 2 and 6, his parents and siblings, and his beloved parish family.

His obituary can be read here:

Deacon Nicholas Obituary

May God grant that the memory of Father Deacon Nicholas be eternal and thrice-blessed.

O Lord, receive the soul of Your Deacon-Servant Nicholas, who has departed from this earthly place to repose in Your Bosom; lead his soul to rest in a place of light, happiness, and peace, where there is neither pain nor suffering, neither grief nor sighing, but only life everlasting. And as You are a gracious God and the Lover of Mankind, remember his faithful, loving, and worshipful service to You and to Your people, and forgive him every sin he has committed by thought, or word, or deed, for there is not a man who lives and does not sin, for You alone are without sin and You are the Resurrection and the Life.

Holy and Sainted Proto-Martyr Stephen, Proto-Deacon and Patron of those who serve this Holy Office, meet and vest Nicholas in heavenly raiment that he may serve Our Lord God, the Great Priest, at the Heavenly Altar.

Holy Theotokos, who knows especially the sorrow of losing a Loved One, cast your Mantle of love over the family of Father Deacon Nicholas, comfort them and intercede with your Son that they be given the strength to salve their grief with the knowledge that Father Deacon Nicholas did not suffer and that he is in a better place. Guide Diaconessa Alicia and give her the strength to deal with this loss of her beloved partner in life and to help their little boys to grow in love and memory of their Dad.
 
Please pray for my niece Lisa, shes having a procedure done today. Thank you
 
Please pray for a conversion of heart for my husband. He has a habit of lying to me about important things that he thinks I’ll be angry about, and doesn’t want to deal with - last night, I caught him in the biggest lie of all. He doesn’t know if he wants to stay married, and has no real understanding of Christian marriage. He is not Catholic. He has asked me to give him until Sunday to think about what he wants to do, and I believe that, without a miracle, he will decide he wants a divorce. I am praying for a miracle - that God will show him his mistakes, and how good our marriage can be if we both put all our effort into it. He needs to be awakened to life in a way he’s never experienced (his own parents had a miserable marriage and divorced when he was 17). Please, storm heaven with your prayers for the next 3 days! Thank you!!!
 
Please pray for a member of my family who suffers from anxiety attacks. I’m afraid she may just be putting on a “happy face” for me. She needs a job badly. Thank you and may God bless you!
 
God bless you all and peace to you all. Would you please remember in your prayers three people for me, one is the son of my aunt who has leukimia, he is 5 years old. one is my parish priest who is seriously ill in hospital and one is my grandfather who is seriously ill at home. Please ask for full and complete recovery of them all in Jesus’ name. Thank you and I will pray for you all and your intentions, God Bless you and those you love. xx
 
ammendment to prayer request, the Priest is ill but not in hospital, sorry for any misunderstanding, your prayers would be appreciated, thank you God Bless you all .
 
Addition to prayer request: My mom has 1) a tumor in her lung, not sure if cancerous. 2) pneumonia and 3) inability to go to the bathroom so she’s throwing up frequently.

Please continue to pray for her. She needs all the prayers you can provide.

St. Peregrine, pray for my mom.
 
Please pray for a Catholic radio station in Phoenix,AZ (a good and faithful one).
 
Please bear with me…I feel very called to pray for this person, but I don’t know his name. I need to give some background.

I work as a claims investigator, and I specialize in fire and theft (auto). Yesterday I was assigned a claim, and here’s the story:

An unknown person, from a nearby state, identified by his driver’s license, apparently was “drifting” and caused some trouble in a small town. He and his jug of unknown liquid were seen in various places in the town,the people of which did not have a habit of locking their doors.

He entereed a woman’s home as she was sleepign. She awoke and found him, ordered him to “beat cheeks and don’t let the door hit’cha…” but didn’t call the police until morning. The man was seen briefly by the police chief…and disappeared.

In the meantime, my customer was awakened around 3:30 am by his Fire Dept. pager and went downstairs to search for his keys…but didn’t find them. Or any others. He discovered his truck was missing and was taken to the scene of his truck’s final resting place…where the man who took it lay dying.

The unknown person, to my knowledge, is still in critical condition; from what I understand, they don’t expect him to make it. No one seems to know his name, only the state from which he came.

I deal with hard stories every day, but this one has prompted me to real prayer. Please pray for this unknown gentleman; that if he lives he find and follow Christ; and if he dies, that he be absolved.

I just have this feeling that he doesn’t have anyone to pray for him…so please, everyone join me.

The owner of the car of course plans to press charges…and if he lives I am required to push the claim to subrogation to collect what we pay out. Every sin owes a debt, but I believe he is and will pay his for a long time (if God wills his survival).

Let us pray…

That this man first of all, survive this horrible accident (the truck rolled several times and wasn’t discovered until about 45 minutes after). That this man experience, understand, and follow Jesus Christ. That he beat his obvious addiction (alcohol) and find a way to deal with the financial recourse against him.

Should the Lord in his wisdom call him, let him be forgiven of his sins, and let those he affected likewise experience the forgiveness needed on behalf of all.

Please, everyone…I almost cried as I heard this story from a third party…please pray for this unknown man.

In Jesus Christ, Amen
 
Would you please pray for peace, especially in Iraq and wherever there is war, not only soveriegn wars but discord between persons and within families.

Prayer of St Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me a channel of your peace; where there is hatred, may I bring love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
 
I am requesting people to pray for my sister Chris (& also for my mother who is very worried about her). She is at a really tough time in her life and said she might kill herself. She has had a really rough life for many years - made some bad decisions & some bad things have happened to her, like she was fired wrongly, sued her employer, lost & now they are suing her for costs or something. She is middle aged, has never married, hasn’t worked full time since she lost this job and is being evicted from her apartment and doesn’t want to move back home to live with mother. She calls herself an agnostic although she really thinks Christianity is rediculous & a big sham. She is a very nice & hardworking person. She has some emotional or mental problems since she always pretends that she is doing fine all of the time. However, she seems to have hit rock bottom. Just pray that the Lord will keep her in the palm of his hand & that her current difficulty will turn her towards believing in God. Thank you.
 
Please pray for Pope John Paul II, all the Bishops and Priests, so that they may be strengthened and that they may lead the Church in these difficult times…

Please pray that we may bring home new members of the Body who are orthodox and truly love the Church…

Please pray for all the souls in Purgatory, all the unborn children, and all the poor and hungry…

Please pray for the members of the Body to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit and closer united to Christ…

Please pray for my family, my brother and sister have left the Church, please pray that God will show them the Truth and importance of the Mystical Body of Christ the Church…

Please pray for my heart, as I am struggling with the recent loss of the girl I wanted to marry, pray that my heart be conformed to the will of Christ and that I will love him above all things…

Please pray for Jennifer Puckett and her family, so that their eyes, hearts, and minds be opened to the Truth of our Lord, and for their conversion…

Thank you my friend, may God bless you!

Please pray for parents and catechists in our parish battling cancer, suffering through divorce and custody battles, struggling to maintain solid Catholic families against the evil influence of family members, and for me, as I deal with the recurrence of a chronic illness that has just flared up in a major, debilitating way.
 
Please pray for the Russian school children and parents who have been taken hostage. Please pray for a miracle resolution to this horrific situation and for the Holy Spirit to fill the children, thier families and loved ones with peace and hope.

Please pray for Bunnies fathers heart condition.
 
The Russian school standoff has largely ended and it didn’t turn out well, though it could’ve been worse. Pray for the physically and mentally injured children and adults, for the souls of those killed, for the families, and since a good deal of the terrorists have apparently escaped, possibly with hostages, pray that the hostages will be saved and the terrorists will be caught. I’ve been watching this thing play out all night and it’s very disturbing to watch.
 
NEED LOTS OF HELP. TWO SISTERS THAT CAN’T STAND ME. SOME OF THE ISSUES ARE SO LONG-STANDING I DON’T THINK ANYONE REMEMBERS HOW THESE THINGS STARTED.:confused: IN ALL HONESTY, I’VE HAD MY MOMENTS, WHEN I CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE, OF PERPETUATING THINGS. HOWEVER, I REALLY WANT ALL THIS RESOLVED, NEVER TO BE BROUGHT UP AGAIN. ALSO, PLEASE, PLEASE PRAY WE GET OUR WONDERFUL FORMER PASTOR BACK AT OUR PARISH. HE HAS JUST BEEN REASSIGNED AND WE COULDN’T BE MORE UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS.:crying: ALSO, I HAVE SERIOUS ANGER ISSUES THAT COULD USE YOUR PRAYERS.:o AND HOW ABOUT A BETTER OR JOB, OR AT LEAST, MORE HOURS?
