Back in May 2016, I posted a prayer request here, and thought I would update it. Much has changed for the better. Here is part of my original post.

I also am having a hard time with a tough boss who is down on me. I am worried about damage to my career or being let go eventually. It has caused me much anxiety this past year.
I also have a 13 year old son who has Autism and is only minimally verbal. He still has not had his first communion as he has severe sensitivities to textures and tastes. Need prayers of healing and to the Holy Spirit to inspire him to receive the Blessed Sacrament.
I have a Mother in Law who is Jewish, but is involved in Eastern meditation practices and trying to contact spirits. She needs prayers to leave aside occult practices and return to God.
I also have a brother who is gay, and yet who would love to have a family. He is finally without a partner for once, and I pray that he will stay single for a while and be inspired to go to reconciliation and discern God’s plan for him.
My father is suffering from dementia and needs prayers as well.

Update: The boss is gone. We are soon to get a new boss - likely one with little experience and most likely someone who does not have a family. I am now hoping to transfer to another duty post where two old bosses of mine work, and I hope to have an opportunity to concentrate better and also get more exercise. I will be eligible to retire in 5 years, God willing.

My son is now 15 and still suffers from Autism. He is doing somewhat better, however still has not had his first Communion. He is learning his catechism quite well though, thanks to my wonderful wife’s catholic homeschooling.

My Mother in Law has moved back to the east coast. She is still involved in the same practices. We continue to pray for her.

My brother is still single. He has decided to continue to live alone - for a while and his embracing his faith. I found out he had been suffering from a drug addiction as well, however he is now in AA and is finding great peace with this.

My father is still living, and he and my mother have found a home health care worker who is wonderful and takes care of their every need. He also is Catholic!

I thank you all for your many prayers and good intentions. I truly believe it is helping. I ask for your continued prayers for these intentions. I feel God’s mercy has poured out on us this past year and showered us with His graces. Thank you all so much for your help!! God bless you all!!!
 
Good to hear. Thank you for sharing this update. 😃

I will continue to pray for your son. May the Lord heal him of autism.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

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.



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.



For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you 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, in particular (Myles_Falworth), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.



PRAYER IN A TIME OF TRIBULATION

O Lord, hear my cry pouring out from a troubled heart. The sorrow which clutches at my soul has driven me to You my protector, my True Friend in time of need. You know, my God, all my failings, my faults and my sins as well as the torment gripping my soul. My greatest sorrow should be for my disregard of Your holy commandments in the past, and I sincerely hope that you will grant me the grace of true contrition. O my Savior, hide not Your Face from me in this tribulation, let the light of Your Countenance shine upon me that I may be illuminated by Its love. If it be Your will, lighten this burden from me, yet should it be a means of my salvation, help me, help me O Lord, to carry this cross, for alone I can do nothing. Radiate Your love upon Your prodigal child O Lord, this beggar who knocks at Your door seeking shelter in Your Sacred Heart; this once proud earthen vessel made of clay seeks You, O Christ, and in a newly found faith, firmly believes that you will receive him in Your limitless Love and Mercy. Amen.

Jesus, I trust in You!
 
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
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 to 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 Thy mercy hear and answer me, Amen
