I’d like to pray for my late husband and oldest daughter. Frank passed away 10 years ago and I miss him so much. My daughter passed away 2 years ago. I know they are together waiting for me. They were the light of my life. Please pray for them.

May God Bless all.
 
I’d like to remember and add to the prayer intentions my beautiful daughter, Heather Renee Kroll who was killed in a car accident on April 7, 2002, just 1 day after her 21st birthday. She left her husband and her precious son Tyler who turned 2 just 5 days before her accident. I think of her every day and love and miss her and know she is watching her beautiful boy grow into a wonderful young man.

I love you babygirl,
Mama

Hi,
May I ask a question? If we post our prayers here, how can God know? Will any worshipers that make prayers on this page say it again the next time they go to Church or just post the prayers only without further actions?:o

Good question, Conan:
I can’t speak for God but I’m sure by reason of what we’re taught. God is Omniscent (all knowing). He knows our intentions before we do. That goes for whatever we think, speak, pray or have within our hearts - even before we conceive of them - or type them.

He’s God. He doesn’t need computers or forums to hear/be reminded of our prayers. But here, we have a way of sharing with countless fellow children of God - an exchange thoughts and petitions. The more praying the better!

How often do we pray for intentions? Everyone’s different. In my case, I respond with a posted prayer, sometimes a formal one and sometimes one I’ve composed based on the individual request. (But God’s the Author and my inspiration, so He already knows what I’m going to ask or type!) He’s heard my prayer without reading it. He not have to “see” or return to the board, and He won’t forget each prayer. Even the simplest words, “please, God, help this person”, are sufficient. He hears us - whether it’s typed or added personally, as in daily prayers (at home or in Church). Each poster will recommend your petition to God in their own way - but you can be sure He’s heard them without logging in! He’s always logged in to our hearts and thoughts. I do think it’s a good idea to ask God to include all those who have requested prayers. As I said, He’s God. He not only knows all - but He doesn’t forget any - once we’ve asked. God Bless You !

I don’t know if I posted in this thread already.
But this post / prayer is for my mother, Emma, who passed away on September 6 - 12 weeks tonight, at age 99. Her 100th birthday was November 20th.

She was my mother, my Catholic educator (long before First Holy Communion instructions), and my rock. She raised me alone, and she was the greatest gift God gave me next to my own soul. Without ‘my rock’ to advise me, I’ve crumbled in making decisions for her, spiritually and temporally as she neared her end. Life is miserable without ‘my rock’ to console me while I ponder these decisions now and where her soul is - something I had not anticipated would happen in grieving her.

I’ve come to the conclusion, after her death, that her soul was as valuable to me - as my own soul. May I have done the right things for her, and particularly may she rest in God’s Eternal Peace, and may my tortured mind and soul find peace in the knowledge that she is with God in Heaven.

For these requests I pray -
and thank you -

Dear Conservative,
Do not let your mind be tortured. You did do the right things for her. Her body may have died but her soul continues to live forever. We will meet again. God does not want us to worry, he wants complete peace for us.

John 14:26-27
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

God does not want us to worry, he wants complete peace for us. His disciples had the same worries.

John 16:17-23
17Some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” 18They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”

Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, "Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

Lord, please take away all fears, anxieties, worries from my friends life. Fill those voids with comfort, peace, love, and hope. Please help my friend not to entertain any negative thoughts and run to you immediately as those thoughts come to mind. You know how much a mother can be loved and missed, but we believe in your promise Lord that she is with you rejoicing in heaven. Please be my friends “Rock” and help her rely on you for anything she may encounter in life. Bless her and her family as they go through this tough times. In Jesus name we pray. Amenhttp://forums.catholic-questions.org/images/smilies/prayer/signofcross.gif

My beloved Jason, who was shot last August and died on the vigil of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Also Kristopher, my sister’s beloved who died of cancer on the vigil of the Assumption.
 
Please pray for my husband’s Uncle Joe, who passed away this morning.

Thank you,
Mary
 
For Jason, Kristopher and Joe - dearly loved by those who come here.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
May their souls and all the souls of the Faithful Departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Please pray for Ruby R., died of a gunshot wound to the chest in a robbery incident late in the evening of March 5th. She was a pretty, young lady, about 20 years of age and was set to graduate from her college nursing course later this month. Please pray for her family members as well, especially her parents, and the female friend she was with that night who escaped unhurt, physically.
 
I would like to dedicate this post to my Great Grandmother Ellen Rosetta Gill. She died shortly after her second son died - outlived all her children, I can’t even begin to imagine! I wish I could have gotten to know her better, I can’t even find anyone who remembers where her regular church was.

I had a few thoughts that bothered me after my husband passed away last December. I continued to have what if I would have done this or that, would the outcome have changed? After going to confession today I realized that there was nothing I could have done to change the outcome. God knows exactly when we are going to die. We sometimes try to do as much as we can. I guess I can tell God now that I surrender. I surrender all my pain, I surrender all my worries, I give my life to you Lord.

I will continue to pray for everyone who has posted and has lost a loved one.
 
In loving memory of my sweet Gabriel. We look forward to seeing you again.
