I have requested prayers before but I need help again. My ex-wife is acting very irrationally unless she’s being passive aggressive about her thoughts and interactions with me; that would explain a lot. This part is nothing new except that I have anxiety issues and a couple of other outstanding stressors at the moment. I’m trying to be a good father this summer when I’m watching my boy. I tried to at least get to confession yesterday because I’m in a slump about my spuritual life on top of everything. I forget what the heck I was doing or even thinking about but I didn’t wind up going; I plan to try again Saturday afternoon. This is her weekend with him coming up. Either way, it’s hard to think about being a good father when your anxieties are off the chart, especially l when they’re being fed by somebody. Prayer is the only thing that can help the situation. I have never been able to adequately understand weather our prayers are less effective when we have unconfessed sins (like me right now). If anybody has an actual correct answer to cite please let me know. But please everybody pray for me.
 
Prayers by sinners are not “less effective”. We are all sinners and God loves everyone equally. Even when dying, Jesus listened to the prayer of the sinner (thief) who had been crucified with him and took him to Paradise.

(Please consider going to confession though. It will give you grace and will help. )

I will be saying a Rosary later today for all the prayer intentions I have tagged on CAF today. I will add you and your family to my list. May God bless and help you and your family, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Please pray for this intention.
St. Joseph, Please pray for this intention.
St. Dymphna, Please pray for this intention. Thank you. Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,

Now and at the hour of death,
Amen

You and your little boy are in my prayers. Your ex wife is also in my prayers.

Memorare
*
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother;
to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen*
 
Praying for you…

Prayer To St. Thomas More

St. Thomas More, you were highly esteemed for your unfailing moral integrity, sharpness of mind, humor, and extraordinary learning. You were a family man, a confidante of the king, and a staunch member of the Catholic faith. Because of your loyalty to the Church, you were martyred by the command of your former friend and sovereign. On this your feast day, I ask that you pray that we may be as steadfast, brave, and generous as you were. Pray that all of us may do the will of God in our lives and attain virtue by our perseverance. I also humbly ask you to intercede and pray for all those CAF members whose intentions are posted here. May we see you in the glory of heaven, by the grace of God and the merits of Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
Praying for your intention. I believe the prayers of the Saints in heaven are more powerful because they have been made perfect in holiness in God’s presence. The more closer you are to God the more holy you become. It’s being in God’s presence that changes us. Apart from him we can do nothing. Even the Saints were sinners but they let God’s love transform them in God’s time.
 
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 (Jerome1974), 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 to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon Jerome1974 in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
 
**O God, Who granted to St. George strength and constancy in the various torments which he endured for our Holy Faith, we beseech You, through his intercession, to preserve our faith from wavering and doubt, so that we may serve You with a sincere heart faithfully unto death. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
