I haven’t decided how often to have prayer request posts here on the blog (probably not every week as was suggested, but once in a while).
I’d like to begin one today, though, and with a special prayer request of my own: SDG and his wife are expecting a new baby and, since the little one is significantly overdue, they are finally having labor induced today. I’d like to ask folks to pray for the safe delivery of mother and baby.
So that’s my prayer intention.
Please use the combox to add your own prayer intentions.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Please pray for my wayward daughter, who is rejecting the faith by being “lukewarm”.
I will be praying for all of your intentions until the next go-round.
Through the intercession of St. Gerard Majella may the Greydanus baby be born with no complications.
Please remember in your prayers my patient Tammy who has colonic inertia. Pray for her in that her intestines might work properly again.
St. GERARD MAJELLA pray for us!
For private intentions involving the financial and educational future of myself and my family.
Thanks all
Please pray for the Christians and innocents of Lebanon, Holy Land, and the Mideast.
God bless.
Prayers going up for Steve and family. This makes #6, if I remember correctly….Congratulations!
For two different men I know who were abandoned by their wives, subjected to no-fault divorce and now struggling with bitterness and trying to be good dads whilst being apart from their children so often.
Also for either an improvement to our income source or a new income source altogether, as we are really struggling.
For the unborn baby I spiritually adopted at his or her 5th week of gestation,
For my Father, that he will turn from his ways and be a good example for his kids by loving his wife.
“Also for either an improvement to our income source or a new income source altogether, as we are really struggling.” I need the same prayers. Thanks. And God bless you.
Please pray for the healing of a mental illness that is affecting a marriage.
For Tony, who will have “minor” surgery on Monday. (As surgeries go, it’s minor and routine.) For his surgeon, and for all medicos.
I am certainly going to be praying for all these intentions.
Also…
St. Blaise, please pray for those of us with this summer hoarseness.
Next friday, a mom is scheduled to give birth (full term) to a baby girl who has been diagnosed with a lethal skeletal dysplasia. Please keep this mom and baby in prayers, that whatever the outcome for this baby girl, her parents will be enveloped in grace and peace. TIA.
So glad I caught this post before I go away!
Of course, I will pray for Mr and Mrs SDG and the safe delivery of their little one.
I also will pray for all the intentions in the comments box, and will add my own if I may:
Please pray for the repose of the soul of my former ‘mother in law’, Kathleen, who died this past Sunday aged 57. Please remember in your prayers, my daughter (her father was Kath’s son – he died 14 years ago when my daughgter was a baby) as she has lost one more link to the Dad she never knew…also for John, the husband of Kath, their children and all who mourn her loss at this sad time.
It’s wonderful that we can all reach out to one another in prayerful support like this. Thanks so much.
God Bless you!
For Janet F., diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer which has spread to one lymph node – that she and her family may know the peace of Christ, that she choose the best treatment options, that her physicians be guided and given the greatest skill, and that she be cured and restored to health.
Please pray that I will follow God’s will in choosing a state in life.
For another baby to add to our family.
Please pray for my husband, who is mourning the loss of our miscarried baby while trying to get off of antidepressants and dealing with work stress.
I will pray for all these requests.
Lord, hear the prayers of Steven & his wife (St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for them!) & of all here & comfort them in their time of need. Blessed Virgin Mary, enfold in your mantle all who have requested prayers here & those who have chosen not to, for whatever reason, & intercede on their behalf with your Son, our Savior.
Please pray for my Mom, Aurea, who’s 86 (almost 87!), that she will continue to be strong & healthy and not worry so much. And for my friend Dayna who’s about to undergo reconstruction surgery after a bilateral mastectomy for a second occurrence of breast cancer & that she will give her life to Christ. And for travelling mercies as I head up to Washington state this weekend with my nephew.
Thanks, all. God bless!
For the continued health and safety of my wife, and of our second son who will be born next month, and the grace to be better parents.
I will certainly pray for all these intentions.
Please pray for our insurance companies to quit fighting and pay for our 11 yr-old’s medical bills so the hospital will allow further treatment and he can have the rest of the surgeries he needs before serious complications arise.
Aw, Jimmy, you need to have some flowers and hearts emoticons here. I’ll be helping to pray for all the intentions here, too.
For a guy I’m acquainted with who has made some pretty crappy moves in the past few years…moving in with his girlfriend, losing the faith, etc.
For a divorced uncle and aunt of mine and for their kids, who I’m pretty close to.
For a financial blessing to erase our burden of crushing debt….my DH is getting ill from the stress of our situation.
Thank you!
For SDG, his wife, and their little one.
For all the intentions of this prayer request,
For the return of my children to the Church,
St Maximilian (Kolbe) pray for us and our intentions.
Thanking all of you for your prayers, you are in mine.

Wow, you people are awesome prayers. Not only is the insurance fiasco coming to a final resolution after we have been trying to get it all taken care of since last October, but two surgery dates are scheduled!!!! Praise God. Thank you so much everyone. You can not possibly know how much this means to us.
Now, since you did so well with that, here is another request. Another of our sons who is in his 20’s has left the Church and wallowing in a very sordid lifestyle. Please pray for his conversion. Thank you.
I expect results by the time he stops to pick up his son this evening. 🙂
For peace in the Middle East.
For single people who wish to marry, that they may find spouses with whom they can form a blessed marriage.
Against attacks of OCD.
Well, I wasn’t going to ask for anything here, but then I read of the two Franciscans kidnapped in Haiti.. 🙁

visualizza.phtml?sid=92946 (altogether, no spaces)
For my friend Kumari, who lost two unborn children to late miscarriage and who is pregnant again, that her child will be delivered safely.
For my grandmother, who just suffered a severe stroke yesterday morning, and for the rest of my family, that they find peace and faith during this trial.
Please pray for my sister who had colon surgery this A.M.
Also for my daughter’s illness and her return to the church. Also for my wife’s conversion to the faith.
I will take all these intentions to Mass tomorrow (and will appropriate Dave K’s last petition for my wife as well).
Please pray for my younger brother, not yet 40, who will be having quintuple bypass surgery on Tuesday, and for his wife and young children.
I notice that a number of regulars here did not post a prayer request.. (from not wanting to bother anyone? from not wanting to show a chink in the wall?) but for whatever reason the silence, we all have petitions as we and all loved ones suffer. As we run down the list again, we’ll remember the silent intentions as well. May God bring healing and peace and maybe even joy to all, in all woes and worries and labors.
Honora,
I posted without using the name you all know me by because I know some relative of mine who read this blog and I don’t want them to be worried.
I pray the Lord reveals my vocation in life. Either it be holy orders or marriage. If it will be marriage, I pray He reveals her to me in His time, and if holy orders, I pray He shows me the path so I may walk it.
So my parents let me got to the seminary to finish High School even though I’m not 18.
Please pray that the financial difficulty my family is going through will soon pass, and that some of my relatives will be more charitable towards me.
Jimmy Akin,
Even though I expressed dislike for the idea of a prayer intentions post, I think reading these
posts has changed my mind. I will pray for all of you. I only ask that you will pray that Our Lord will guide me in discerning my vocation. Thanks.
Though it is minor compared to some of these intentions, please pray for us students at Cranberry Lake Biological Station at this time of academic pressure.
Also for me, that I would discern God’s call and follow it.
Please pray that people will immediately respond to our advertising leaflet put out. Pray that people will immediately become music students and learn long term. Pray that new clients will book in for time slots between 11:30am and 3:00pm weekdays.
Thanks Alan
Prayers that situation with difficult tenant will be resolved quickly/favorably. The lady has damaged the property several times and repeatedly denies responsibility. Prayers that she will move willingly/quickly. Prayers that she will do no further damage to the property. Thank you and God bless you.
Please agree with me in prayer for freedom from abduction, from hauntings at night and for a decrease to elimination of murder.
I would like to ask you for support in prayers for my friends and me, please:
For KATARINA and NEBOJSA THAT HE CALLS HER IMMEDIATELY TO TALK ABOUT NEW CIRCUMSTANCES, SITUATION…DISCUSS AND AGREE, REPENT FOR HIS BEHAVING AND APOLOGIZE TO HERTHAT GOD OPEN AND FORM LINES OF GOOD COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THEM THAT THEY RECONCILE ASAP THAT NOTHING STANDS BETWEEN THEM That God BRING A RIGHT MAN INTO MY LIFE ASAP Thank you very much for support in prayer.

Pray that i receive a financial blessing. Also pray that a certain person comes into my life, and that we find happiness together.
Please pray for Gerianne. I am requesting a prayer for my love of my life. She is a victim of Abused Child Syndrome and was married to an abusive husband. Because of this, severe problems with menopause and horrible pressure from her mother she became someone totally different from the woman she was. She was so full of love and life and infinitely happy but she is now a different personality, vindictive, mean and cold. She is being controlled and manipulated by those with evil agendas who have ruined her life. Her son-in-law and ex-husband have paid to have an Obeah spell cast on her. The doctors have put her on Proazc and anti-anxiety pills which have radically changed her personality. For the past year she has been spiraling down mentally and morally and the harder I try to save her and comfort her the harder other people work to bring her down. She would rather have died than tell a lie and now lies and immorality rule her life. She attended church EVERY week and now she hasn’t been inside a church in 7 months. Please I ask you, I beg you to pray for her to return to the person she was, to return to the church and especially to return to the love and compassion we used to have as a couple. I beg you to pray in Jesus name for her to return to me where our love was pure, wholesome and unconditional. I ask you to pray for our love. Bless each and every one of you for praying for her and us. Thank you, Terry.
