St. John of God Comments
From the time he was eight to the day he died, John followed every impulse of his heart. The challenge for him was to rush to follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit gave him, not his own human temptations. But unlike many who act impulsively, when John made a decision, no matter how quickly, he stuck with it, no matter what the hardship. At eight years old, John heard a visiting priest speak of adventures that were waiting in the age of ... Continue Reading

Saint John of God help me help my best friend Jorge who has just informed me of his long time suffering with a heart murmur. He says he feels like his time on earth is coming to an end. He refuses to fight for his life. Bring some peace into his life. Help me say the right words and do the right things. I'm asking for heart health here. He says he has been told by doctors that there is nothing else they can do for him. He is quite young. He is only 41 yrs old. I am besides myself. Dear John of God please intercede for him to our Lord Jesus Christ, that Jorge may have a long, healthy and prosperous life. That he may be willing to fight for his health. I pray that he starts feeling better at this moment. I pray that he starts taking better care of himself and stops pushing himself so much. I entrust him to you St. John that you may take care of him and his heart and find a cure for him. Please do not let anything happen to him.
Let him understand how much he is loved and wanted around. He wants to continue to live in the past and off of his memories. Please intercede for him to Christ to bring him out of the dark and into the light of Jesus Christ where he belongs.

Ruebenesque-I will pray for you as you seem upset. Your ramblings about your realtives seem rather unkind-but truly you must climb mountains and cross rivers to firgure out what life is truly about.I shall pray that you meet a redeeming relative who will make you happy-an honest person who is fearless and will help you always. Peace to you and yours.
Dear St. John of God, As you transcended your impulsive nature by dedicating yourselves to God, help us to do the same by using 'viveka'; the ability to discriminae between good and evil.
I think of this saint-John and am amazed by his sheer desire to serve.
I know many people who stroll about in their fine, Brooks Brothers suits - dressing to impress their friends, acquaintences and family. Sometimes they would cast pearls to the swine-a political and public gesure.
If only these intelligent, politically connected folk would tilt their face to keavin and understand that shady deals and family ties often lead to their own destrution. To appear so upright and noble on the exterior only to be hiding behind their worsted wools and glenplaidsdads.
Look behing the facade and you will find someone hiding from their past and their incrediblky disfuctional family-still hanging onto threads of what once was and shall never again be due to corruption did not even invite us to his wedding......
St. John of God, please intercede for my son, Chase, that he experiences a spiritual converson of heart and receives God's mercy. He is lost in an ocean of sin and addiction.
St. John of God, please pray for me.
I am imspired reading about this saint, may God help me in my urge too.Amen.
To Maureen, Your family is in my prayers. May the healing strength of the Holy Spirit be with your baby....for nothing is impossible with God. Remember that God loves his children even more than we do and he is all loving and all GOOD. We are caretakers of his children. May you put your baby in the loving arms of his/her Creator. Jesus we Trust in YOU! St. John of God, may your intercessory prayers be laid at the cross of Jesus. Amen
Saint John of God, I honor you as the Patron of the Sick, especially of those who are afflicted by heart disease. I choose you to be my patron and protector in my present illness. To you I entrust my soul, my body, all my spiritual and temporal interests, as well as those of the sick throughout the world. To you I consecrate my mind, that in all things it may be enlightened by faith above all in accepting my cross as a blessing from God; my heart, that you may keep it pure and fill it with the love for Jesus and Mary that burned in yours; my will, that like yours, it may always be one with the Will of God.
Good Saint John, I honor you as the model of penitents, for you received the grace to give up a sinful life and to atone for your sins by untiring labors in behalf of the poor and sick. Obtain for me the grace from God to be truly sorry for my sins, to make atonement for them and never again offend God. Aid me in mastering my evil inclinations and temptations, and in avoiding all occasions of sin. Through your intercession may I obtain the grace from Jesus and Mary to fulfill faithfully all the duties of my state of life and to practice those virtues which are needful for my salvation. Help me to belong to God and Our Lady in life and in death through perfect love. May my life, like yours, be spent in the untiring service of God and my neighbor.
Since Holy Mother Church also invokes you in her prayers for the dying, I beg you to be with me in my last hour and pray for me. As you died kneeling before a crucifix, may I find strength, consolation and salvation in the cross of my Redeemer, and through His tender mercy and the prayers of Our Lady, and through your intercession, attain to eternal life. Amen
