who revealed yourself to little ones, grant, we beg you,
that while we celebrate and honor the most holy mysteries

we may arrive at that heavenly kingdom which you have
promised to little children, through the same
Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Please pray for my grandad, who recently was diagnosed with lung cancer for the third time. A former mechanic, asbestos in brakes has caused him to already undergo surgery and radiation. This tumor is too close to a lymph node to be removed by either procedure, so chemotherapy is our only option. Please pray for him, and thank you! God bless you all.

  7. Eric says:

    Dear Friends,
    I ask that you pray for my fiance and I during this time of hardship. I was dishonest and broke a beautiful caring woman’s heart. She tells me that she cannever trust me again, but all I want is to be the man God wants me to be. Please pray that we are reunited and that we grow closer to God through this unfortunate selfish act of hiding the simple truth that I was afraid of telling, because of my own selfish cowardly ways. Over a workday with a friend that I could not open up and share with the woman I love :(
    Help me Jesus!

    Lois’ PRAYER INTENTION:

  22. George says:

    I join here with your intentions plus all the intentions of all our
    brothers & sisters in Christ Jesus. But my priority is to the
    families. Money it seems has taken its toll on human relationships
    and families are crumbling into alarming frustrations.

    Right now I put for your kind attention, two families close to me who
    are being led astray by Satan in the guise of the Lord. Pls pray for
    them that they dont end up in jeopardy.

    May the Infant Jesus shower His grace and the light of the Holy Spirit
    on all of us and them

  24. Suzanne says:

    Oh God please change my situation. I desperately need a husband, a job I am good at and a place to live. I need an apartment of my own. Lord things are so not where I want them to be. Please hear the cry of Your servant. I love You and need You. Please embrace me with open arms and answer my prayers. Show me you warmth and compassion.

  25. Jewel T says:

    I have been praying that Jesus send me a man to love, financial freedom and insight into his will for my life. I was married for 17 years before discovering my ex’s addiction and my role in it. I have forgiven him and myself after much prayer and work. This time of year is difficult being with family and friends with partners. I always feel like the odd woman out. Pray for me
