Now I would like to pray especially for y younger son Michael that he may realsi his full potential in every way and that he mmay learn to focus intently on his studies and do well in educating himself for a fruitful and positive future. I pray especially that Michael may strengthen his interest in all areas of his schooling and be able to achieve positive grades for entry into university. All this in accordance with the will of God. Amen
Your my confirmation saint.
St. Albertus Magnus, Your humility and saintliness, reminds me of the proverb," The greater you are, the less you must become." It is a great virtue, but very difficult to emulate for a sinner like myself. Please do pray for us.

Happy Feast Day Saint Albert the Great!!!!
"He was a German Dominican friar and a bishop who achieved fame for his comprehensive knowledge of and advocacy for the peaceful coexistence of science and religion"
That says it all. Please pray for my son and the financial stability to keep him in Catholic Schools. Thank you.
helpful article...great information.
Dear St Albert,
Please if you may, help me in the next two big things, and even three, but the two which are connected and need to be resolved within a specific time period. Since they are scholarly in nature and have to do with the union of faith and reason which has dogged our universities for centuries, (and the lack of which has had such a destructive effect on our minds and hearts) please if it is God's will intercede for this intention. If indeed I receive the temporal graces I request, I will honor you by expressing my gratitude to you in a specific and public way. This I do promise you. And thank you for listening to me.
This is a good article I learned alot that I never knew. Thanks for Puting this on your site:):):):):);)!!!!!

St Albert the Great, please pray that my daughter will realize her great potential in school and learning. She has a difficult time staying focused due to her amazing creative mind. She is a great artist at only 14 yrs old. I want her to know that she can be both, a great artist and a great student. St Albert the Great, please pray for her.
Saint Albert please pray for our adoptive son that he will keep an open mind when learning and grasp the knowledge that is needed for him to understand that his NEW Mommy and Daddy loves him dearly. Also pray for my wife that she will learn that being self employed is an exciting journey and that she will reap great rewards if she puts out a great effort. And lastly, please pray for myself that I may gain knowledge daily in my career so I can help as many people as I possibly can. Amen.
Dear Saint Albert, I thank Our Father that I now know you better and for making this a wonderful day! Please be with me on the 24th.
