Hi
Can you please pray for me? I’ve been feeling very empty/black-and white, and spiritually dry for a while now.

Thanks

God Bless +

God may you grant Riley the graces and blessings of a strong and joyful faith:

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…

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
St. Jude, Patron of Causes despaired of, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.

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.
 
Dear Jesus, You once said, “ask and you shall receive. Knock and it shall be opened to you.” Please open the doors of wisdom for RileyG and send him faith, strength, peace, hope and love. He is searching, Jesus. We want to join him in prayer because you also said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Draw us closer to yourself, dear Jesus, shepherd and lover of souls, that we may enter and rest in your Sacred Heart. Amen

A time of spiritual dryness often precedes great blessings from Our Lord. I will pray for you tonight to Our Lord and Our Lady of Fatima to bring you quickly out of the time of dark shadows to the joy of His light !

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 death.
Amen.

St. 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 thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God, thrust into hell satan,
and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
 
Lord, grant Riley many graces in this darkened, fallen world, that this soul be never discouraged and always retain a spiritual eye on the heavenly prize. Cultivate in Riley’s heart ever faith, hope, love, and joy. Send angels to minister to this soul through every suffering or joy in union with your holy Passion. Spare a foretaste of heavenly light into Riley’s life, that the path of truth be ever illuminated, and that this soul be emboldened and enkindled with a zeal for your love always. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your 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.
For Thine is the Kingdom
and the Power
and the Glory for ever and ever.
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.

O my God, leaning on your great power and your promises, I hope with a firm reliance obtain forgiveness of my sins, the help of Thy grace and eternal life, through the merits of Jesus Christ my Savior.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
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 us that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for us, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear our plea for

RileyG and anyone else who is experiencing spiritual dryness,

and grant us 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.
 
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 Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Of course our prayers are with you. Do remember however, that many saints have gone through great periods of dryness and emptiness. These are times of great spiritual growth, and times to listen carefully to God. It is likely that He is preparing you for change in your life and trying make sure you are well prepared by making you become more dependent on Him instead of what you feel.

In this dryness, don’t you feel just compelled to ask His help constantly? It is like being blind almost, but internally; and you have no idea what way to go, who is there, how things will turn out. You have to, out of sheer necessity depend on God to get you through.

No it is not easy, but try not to fear it. Look at this dryness as spiritual exercise offered to you by God. Pray daily, go to Mass as much as possible and do some inner reviewing so you can figure out if God is calling you to change. Is it time for a new job, to move someplace else and try life out in another state or country, are you being called to missionary work? The list goes on.

Just take this time to research ideas, study your faith and get through each day as God hands it to you. May God grant you insight into Him and His ways during this time in your life. Amen.

HI Riley, In John 6:35 Jesus said he was the bread of life and he that comes to him shall never hunger and he that believes in him shall never thirst. I went through a time like this, found this verse, studied it and realized I had to go to the bread of life (God’s Word in the Bible) and eat of it (read it) and the more I took the time to read it the emptiness went away, it gave me a purpose. It stirred my faith to believe deeper and the desire to be apart of it. I was inspired the more I read the more I felt the living waters flowing into me stirring my life, the board some days wasn’t there. God was calling out to me to spend some time with Him, so he could make me useful again. God Bless.
