Please heal my friend’s son who is an alcoholic. His addiction is tearing apart the family.
Give his parents strength to endure this trial and give them resources for help.
Burden his heart to ask for help. Find a place for him to live on his own and remove him from his parents home so they may have peace.
 
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.
 
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

PRAYER TO ST. ANTHONY
FOR EMOTIONAL HEALING
St. Anthony, dear friend and heavenly guide,
be present to me now,
and let me know your compassion.
Pray to our dear Lord for me,
that I may experience calmness and peace in my emotions.

Help me to grow in faith and hope.
Protect me from all that displeases God,
and obtain for me serenity of mind and spirit.

I place all my confidence in you, St. Anthony,
and I pray for mercy,
grace and God’s gently goodness.

Amen.

PRAYER OF SAINT EPHREM OF SYRIA
(For Strength In Weakness)
Lord Jesus Christ,
King of kings,
You have power over life and death.
You know even things that are uncertain and obscure,
and our very thoughts and feelings are not hidden from You.
Cleanse me from my secret faults,
and I have done wrong and You saw it.
You know how weak I am,
both in soul and in body.
Give me strength, O Lord,
in my frailty and sustain me in my sufferings.
Grant me a prudent judgement, dear Lord,
and let me always be mindful of Your blessings.
Let me retain until the end Your grace
that has protected me till now.
 
**I was an alcoholic for 20yrs.
Even after I was diagnosed as a Schizophrenic
who was self medicating, I drank.
By the grace of God and the intersession of
Blessed Matt Talbot did all desire to drink leave me.
I will pray to Blessed Matt for him.

Prayers for your friends son and family, for healing, change and life on his own.

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. 🙂
 
Oh glorious apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered thy beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused thee to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes thee universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who am so miserable; make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded thee of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly (mention your request), and that I may bless God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise thee, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to thee. Amen

Oh most profound and merciful Lord, bless Mimi B’s friend’s son.
Alcoholism is no virtue. It’s a profound medical condition on all affected.
Bless Mimi B’s friend’s son with the courage and grace to seek out those with wisdom to help himself set himself free with God’s all over reaching grace.

Alcoholism SUCKS to those who have it, and those who love them.
It’s a disease of this very fallen and broken world.

Be an aid of healing in Mimi B’s friend’s life.
Alcoholism is a blight and a curse on the human condition and completely broken nature.
There is to be no healing unless it is found in a higher source, specifically You.

God Bless all those infected with this debilitating disease. Amen

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that it is a thing unheard of, that anyone ever had recourse to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Filled therefore with confidence in your goodness I fly to you, O Mother, Virgin of
virgins. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my poor words, O Mother of the Word of God, but graciously hear and grant my prayer.
Amen
 
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 me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear my plea for
this addict,
and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

Amen.
I prayed to ST.Monica every day that my son was using drugs,I thank GOD for her,now that he is sober,everyday!When I attend Mass I always make sure I sit in a pew by her statue.
Maybe mention this to the parents
 
Father in Heaven, alcoholism is a difficult challenge to overcome, yet You can give the necessary grace, if the son is willing to respond. Please give him strength and honesty to welcome Your graces for his sake and for his family’s unity and happiness. We ask this in Jesus’ name
