Please Blessed Mother, in this month of May… Remember, the breaking of my heart when my wedding anniversary May 5 reminded me that only the first 21 of the 33 years since I was married did my husband choose to stay at my side and keep his vows to me, and to our children.
Please Blessed Mother in this month of May remember that because I became homeless and without a job for five years, and finally have found the job where I teach children art… That because this new joy is found, I now have no car because my car broke down beyond repair as it is old and too expensive to fix.
I want to keep this job , Blessed Mother and provide well for my children who are now older, but need me to visit them and without a car I can do neither.
Thank you Blessed Mother for hearing the prayers of my heart that someday my family will be reconciled with your Beloved Son, and never again offend him.

Praying for people who struggle with mental health issues, especially a friend’s daughter. Dear God, may they avoid self medicating and trust reliable doctors and counselors to help them. We pray for all our children and the people around them; may they be blessed! Thank you ????
Laura says
Praying for both my children but especially Michael who is in the latter
years of high school with a learning disability. He is confused and easily influenced to do wrong, lies and does not understand consequences of actions.
Tracy Brophy says
I am praying that Jesus would hold Michael safe as he navigates the difficult years of teens/ young adulthood. And you, as you face the heartbreak and stress of parenting a child who struggles in the world. My heart goes out to your family.
Sister Martha says
For our young adults to hear the Voice of Jesus, and be enlivened by the Eucharist Revival.
