Requesting Prayer and Intercession

[Athanasius_Mary]

I humbly request prayer and intercession from my brothers and sisters on this forum. I’ve been struggling with despair and doubt over the abuse crisis, lack of faith, and various poor coping mechanisms.

Additionally, when it seems that life is set aright I almost inevitably fall into certain besetting sins, no matter how grateful and thankful I am for Christ and Our Lady. I keep falling into impurity and despair. I cry out to Jesus, Mary, all the Angels and Saints and go to Confession.

My family is getting ready to move much closer to our beautiful local parish, a move that will make access to the Sacraments much easier. I can almost feel Satan poking at my weaknesses, making a Judas and a hypocrite out of me.

Please pray for me and my family, brothers and sisters. I thank God for you.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickednetss 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.

Amen.

 

[Athanasius_Mary]

Most Merciful God,
I thank you for the blessing of this forum and the prayers of my brothers and sisters on it. Pour out blessings and mercy on those who are praying for me, whether publicly or privately, and may they have their own personal requests and petitions heard in Your court. I ask all this for the sake of the merits and love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in union with the most Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ Your Son, Our Lord.
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.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Heavenly family​

Heavenly Family, please intercede powerfully for us when we are demoralised by disappointments and loss of fervour. A history of apparently ‘fruitless’ service and ‘unanswered’ prayer may lead us to discouragement and depression, deepened by remembrance of earlier zeal that seems irretrievable. The gospel way is difficult for anyone worn by years of sorrows and effort.

You also experienced dilemmas and pain of earthly trials. Even one of the dearest Saints of our time, Therese of Lisieux, endured trials of faith. She, along with all you citizens of heaven now experiences the wondrous eternal realities of God.

Pray for our renewal and growth when religious discussion seems tedious, or when intercession begins to feel almost like assiduous ‘blackmail’ instead of request to a loving God.

Obtain for us maturity of faith in life’s difficulties and tragedies. Pray that we continue to serve others in prayer and act, trusting that God will provide. Pray that we do justice to the gift of our lives and talents, and God’s will for our lives. October 25, 2002
