I am still in high school. In 6th grade I lost my stepdad. My father has to be the most worthless human being. So, my stepdad meant everything to me. I call him dad. When I was in 6th grade his kidneys and liver finally shut completely down. My father is a drug user and he is an abuser. I went to my English teacher for help. Over the summer her dad was murdered. I found healing in her, and I found help to get away from my father. Because of him I’m pretty terrified of all men…especially him. I really miss him, and I’m not completely healed. Prayers would be greatly appreciated, and I plan to pray for all of you too! Thank you, and I love you all!

Hi Sydney I am so sorry for your suffering and for the loss of your beloved stepfather.I will pray for him.I will also pray for your dad that he will overcome his drug and abuse issues.This is so tragic and my heart breaks for you.You are loved by God very much.He feels your pain with you and loves you so much for your bravery and courage.I am also sorry for your English teacher and her poor dad who was murdered.They will also be in my prayers.I am not surprised you are terrified of men after what has happened in your life.Perhaps you could get counselling for dealing with the trauma that has happened to you and talk to your priest and tell him all that has happened.May God bless you always.

Father please hear my prayers for Sydney and grant healing in mind body and spirit.Please grant the stepdad eternal life with you and heal Sydneys pain and the family through their greiving.Father please also grant eternal life to the dad of the English teacher so tragically murdered.Grant comfort and healing emotionally to the teacher theough this mourning time.
Father please guide the dad of Sydney who has a lot of issues with abuse and drugs.I ask you would guide him to get help to learn the wrong doing and relearn through rehabilitation how to live and treat others.May his mind be open to Your will and his heart soften to understand his failings and how they cause such hurt to Sydney and others.Please heal Sydney be with her and grant strength and courage as she faces emotional pain.Please guide someone to help Sydney in a practical way to heal her.Lord in Your mercy hear my prayer.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.

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 our death
Amen
 
Lord, whose ways are beyond understanding,
listen to the prayers of your faithful people:
that those weighed down by grief
at the loss of Sydneys stepdad,and the English teachers dad,
may we find reassurance in your infinite goodness.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
 
This is one of my favorite prayers, the Divine Mercy Chaplet.I pray for your parents and all your relatives who passed on are enjoying the full glory of God’s presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Before the month of All Souls closes,
For my deceased parents - as well as two family members who died this year, 3 weeks apart.
Eternal Rest grant unto them, Oh, 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.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Thy 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.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, to heal the wounds of our souls.
Oh, my Jesus, pardon and Mercy through the merits of Thy Sacred Wounds.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord
May perpetual light shine upon him
and may he rest in peace
Amen

Remember, O most loving 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 with this confidence, we turn to you, O Virgins of virgins, our Mother. To you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, do not despise our petitions, but in your mercy hear us and answer us. Amen.

Our dear little girl breathed her last on Dec. 15th 2006 at 36 years, after 22 years of having an eating disorder. She tryed so hard to overcome. Dear Jesus, please at last, give Storey happyness with you and those she grieved after. Thank you for letting us know her and for all she taught us with the love and care she gave everyone she knew. I know she would intercede for any little girl who suffers from a disorder or depression. St Francis of Assisi was her model. So Long Storey Love from your family:)

A PRAYER FOR THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED
O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of their sins, that, through pious supplications, they may obtain the pardon which they have always desired. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end.

For all of us who have loved ones who have died and will not be with us at Christmas.We will be sad for their not being with us.We pray for their souls and for the loved ones left behind who mourn them.

Prayer for Faith
Lord, I believe:
I wish to believe in Thee.
Lord, let my faith be full and unreserved,
and let it penetrate my thought,
my way of judging Divine things and human things.
Lord, let my faith be joyful
and give peace and gladness to my spirit,
and dispose it for prayer with God
and conversation with men,
so that the inner bliss of its fortunate possession
may shine forth in sacred and secular conversation
Lord, let my faith be humble and not presume
to be based on the experience of my thought and of my
feeling;
but let it surrender to the testimony of the Holy Spirit,
and not have any better guarantee than in docility to
Tradition
and to the authority of the magisterium of the Holy Church.
Amen
 
Eternal rest grant unto them OH Lord
And let your gentle, soft light shine upon them
And may they rest in your peace.
Amen

Thinking of my Beloved deceased father today December 20th. It’s been two years to this date Dad since you left this world for a better place in God’s loving care. Your in my prayers always.

In Paradisum deducant angeli
In tuo adventu, suscipiat te martyres
Et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat
Et cum Lazaro, quondam paupere
Aeternam habeas requiem.
Code: 
May the angels lead you into Paradise
And when you come may the martyrs receive you
And lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem.
May a choir of angels receive you,
And with Lazarus, once a pauper,
May you have eternal rest.
O God, Who has commanded us
to honor our father and mother,
have compassion in Thy mercy,
on the souls of my father and mother;
forgive them their sins,
and grant that I may see them
in the joy of eternal brightness.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Prayer of Cardinal Newman

May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace everlasting.
Amen.

Thinking of you Dad. I love and miss you very much
Love Always your eldest son Chris. xo
 
In Loving Memory

Almighty God, through the death of your Son on the cross, you have overcome death for us. Through his burial and resurrection from the dead you have made the grave a holy place and restored us to eternal life. We pray for those who died believing in Jesus and are buried with him in the hope of rising again. God of the living and the dead, may those who faithfully believed in you on earth praise you for ever in the joy of heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
Oh Lord,

Please allow me to figure out how to post on Catholic Answers.

Amen
 
For all our loved ones who have died, we very much miss them especially at this time of the year.

Prayer for the Dead
God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen
 
For my father, Edward, 1924-2003, that he may know how much I love him and what a shining light he continues to be in my life.

For his sister, Ella, who brought genuine love and aid to so many people.

Lord, please welcome them to your presence. Amen.
